A number of weeks back, I promised a return to the new, self-titled debut album, Chelsea Light Moving, so here we are. The CD arrived in the mail, it's over on the Samsung now and it is quite remarkable.
"Burroughs" was the song promised and it can be heard above and 'seen' below. The clip contains some historic footage, presented with quick cut and paste ('cut up style') lyric whimsy, and so is historic on its own terms.

Reputedly, or at least in the last entry in Last Words: The Final Journals, here is Bill Burroughs final words:
“There is no final enough of wisdom, experience- any fucking thing. No Holy Grail, No Final Satori, no solution. Just conflict.-----------
Only thing that can resolve conflict is love, like I felt for Fletch and Ruski, Spooner, and Calico. Pure love. What I feel for my cats past and present.
Love? What is it?
Most natural painkiller what there is.
LOVE.”

own: and, it, seems, to, me as you via Burroughs mentions "love" :
to whom else do we write (poems) to / about
or paint or sing to but our own loves-lovers-phantasies ....memories of ;
without these..... where would we be ?
