They are "Cold Shot", "Canned Heat", "White Lightning", "Steely Dan" and "Heavy Metal". There are others that wound there way into our linguistic culture . . . but people seldom remember they came from Burroughs. An interesting writer, though not for everyone. The books I go back to more than others are "Junky", "The Yage Letters" and of course "Naked Lunch", though it's been a few seasons since I've visited them. The movie "Naked Lunch" is quite interesting, particularly if one is familiar with "Exterminator". I'll have to check out your links - thanks!<BR/><BR/>JefferyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-37958127705725638062009-02-05T09:36:00.000-05:002009-02-05T09:36:00.000-05:00wanna get "into" Burroughs""scene"go also to and r...wanna get "into" Burroughs"<BR/>"scene"<BR/><BR/>go also to and read some Huncke!
