This One's For Billy!

If anyone really knows me, they know that one of my biggest idols is William S. Burroughs (other than Kurt Cobain and Sid Vicious). I found one of the coolest sites called the Ghost Of William S. Burroughs (http://www.netherworld.com/~mgabrys/william/index.html), you should check it out! It is cool, it is recordings of Burroughs reciting excerpts of his novels, random thoughts, prose, and other cool little insights. Anyways, that's all. I think I will keep listening and then go and read "Queer", an awesome sequel to "Junkie". Sadly, when Burroughs wrote "Queer" in the mid-fifties, it wasn't quite accepted (since homosexuality was considered a fucking disease! fucking morons!), so it was published until thirty-five years later. What a shame. Anyways, check out the site, buy a book (whatever one except Naked Lunch if you are a Burroughs virgin) and enjoy. Love you all!
