You must apply prostheses to your ears to make them stick out.To play the young Ginsberg you will be required to read his poems in character--and will want to catch the distinctive New Jersey accent (he was from Paterson), and the determined lilt that varies in tone from ironic-tragic to wryly comic. So you will need to listen to recordings, and listen to them a lot. There is little film footage of Ginsberg from this time, but there are plenty of audio recordings. Notice how on the earliest ones his delivery is staid and serious--he even tells hecklers to shut up.
