Rich Engle Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1466072/You can see this on Netflix, for sure. An excellent documentary about William S. Burroughs, one of the core members of the Beat writers. Very good.rde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Didn't he shoot his wife in the head a la William Tell--killing her?Take his drugs and shove it.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Engle Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 That's pretty shallow, Brant, I dare say. But yes, he did do that. He killed her. But that doesn't really take away from his writing, does it? rdeJust completed the D.A.R.E. program ("Drugs Are Really Excellent") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Engle Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I guess I don't wanna be in that club, then. Yeah, Ghs, it seems like a contradiction in terms, no? I'm going to attribute this to Brant, who I trust, and him having a slip over the slippery-duper slope of what we dare to call reason, or, at the least, not being insane.Meanwhile, Behold My Great Art<tm>. I'm on travel, and got bored, so what I did was take a thing from The Church of the SubGenius and run some nice prints on photo paper. It's got the eye, the pyramid, and everthing! I'll put one up, hold on, meanwhile you guys should suit up for a Brazilian Strap Match.I think Brant will have an edge on you, George--but it is hard to tell, once you enter the wrestling arena, no??http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903895904576542942027859286.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
