Leaky Lifeboat mystery
 

Aside from the title/chorus, most of "Leaky Lifeboat"s lyrics seem lifted from Sun Ra rather than Gregory Corso. Very strange.

I read his story on wikipedia and his life seemed quite tragic.

I would wager that when he went to prison as a youngster he was probably trying to get off the streets.

yes, there are many Sun Ra references throughout. (My comment added nothing. Nothing.)
