Quiero inaugurar el hábito de poner videoclips y cortos independientes en el blog con el video de una canción que es una rareza, porque es fruto de una colaboración entre Allen Ginsberg y Paul McCartney. Aunque en el video inicial sólo aparece Ginsberg, hay un añadido de medio minuto, al final, con ambos juntos en el escenario.Estando Ginsberg allí, digamos que Puente Aéreo no se aleja de la literatura con esta escapada musical. La canción se llama Ballad of the Skeletons; la letra es del poeta norteamericano, la música, del magistral ex beatle. Curiosamente, el sonido final se asemeja al de algunas canciones de Lou Reed, pero el texto tiene toda la ironía habitual del viejo beatnik. El video, por cierto, es de Gus Van Sant.
