The Cred Poets Society

On October 10, I'll be doing a special radio show that celebrates the interface between poetry and rock and roll. It's a rich theme and it builds on the success of our William Blake special last year. But I could do with your help. Here are some early suggestions. Let's have your thoughts...

The Clash and Allen Ginsberg - Ghetto Defendant

Kurt Cobain, William Burroughs - The Priest They Called Him

Jackie Leven and Andy White -Come Back Early Or Never Come (Louise MacNeice)

David Axelrod - Song of Innocence (William Blake)

The Divine Comedy - Lucy (Wordsworth)

Van Morrison - Crazy Jane On God (WB Yeats)

Van Morrison - Rave On John Donne

Van Morrison and Gerald Dawe - The Days Before Rock And Roll

The Waterboys - Stolen Child (WB Yeats)

The Waterboys - Room To Roam (George MacDonald)

Shane MacGowan - An Irish Airman Foresees His Death (WB Yeats)

Patti Smith -The Last Hotel (Jack Kerouac)

John Cale - The Moon (Jack Kerouac)

10 000 Maniacs - Hey Jack Kerouac

Any suggestions for how we might include Coleridge , Rimbaud, Bukowski, Larkin, Dickinson, Betjeman, Plath, Burns, Dylan? Got any McGonagall?
