Sept. 8, 1959: This is the first part of a transcript of testimony by “Holy Barbarians” author Lawrence Lipton before the the Los Angeles Police Commission on the Gas House, the Beat hangout in Venice. I’ll be posting the remaining sections as time allows.

    Hey, man, your posting on the Gas House is, well, man, a real gas. And, man, there’s some heavy duty dudes involved in this, for sure. I presume the straights want to prove the beats are a bunch of pervs and more on this should be enlightening, man.

    Not to reiterate the previous poster, but i am looking forward to see where this is going, concern over an opium den? Mary Jane, right?
