Allen Ginsburg in the Beginning?


In the beginning of the film during the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" video, there is a man who is balding with a long beard wearing glasses(i think) in the left hand side of the screen. He is talking to some one. Is the man with the glasses Allen Ginsburg? I know that Bobby and he were friends.

There was some alternate versions of this cue-card sequence that appeared in the new Scorcesse "No Direction Home" documentary. I think they're on the DVD for "Don't Look Back" as well. Anyway, Ginsburg is also in those, but much more prominently so.
