I was going to post that I didn't find this funny, but I did find it amusing, and I was going to ask if others had a similar reaction.
And then I skipped ahead to about the halfway mark, when it started using more interesting examples like Allen Ginsberg and Village Voice, and it started to become funny rather than amusing.
Did anybody else have a similar reaction?
I think the distinction I have in mind between funny and amusing is that funny invokes a more visceral and physical response, whereas amusing is a more purely intellectual response.
