What poem is read in the pre-Zoo TV show from Dublin during the intro to Where the streets... It's an old man reading, and the footage is black and white. Anyone knows?
 
I can't say I know this, but I'm sure someone else will though

Well, during the lovetown tour this poem by Jack Kerouac was rapped over the intro of Streets occassionaly, except on the 12-16 Dublin show a different one got read.. I'm not sure what that one was.

"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and evrybody goes 'Awww! '"

it may have been William S. Burroughs. I remember seeing a film of him reading "A Thanksgiving Prayer" in a televised U2 gig around the time of zootv.
