I was watching Roger McGough and Brian Patten at The Everyman for the anniversary of The Mersey Sound in 2007. As part of the Q&A they had to respond to this famous quote about the creative energy in the Liverpool poetry scene:
“Liverpool is at the present moment the centre of the consciousness
of the human universe” - Allen Ginsberg, 1965
I'm sure I misquote Roger McGough horribly, but he said something along the lines of "Ginsberg would have said that about anywhere that he was."
He said it quite easily, naturally and wittily... I wonder if he had that answer already up his sleeve.
