Yeah, well, Burroughs....you have to love him to hate or hate him to love him, but would he have had it any other way?
By the way, have you seen any of his "shotgun" paintings?
He loaded up a double barrel with cartridges of paint and the fired at a canvas....

I think I have, but thanks for sharing.

Burroughs followed in the Grand tradition of Alfred Jarry, but lived a whole lot longer. Something I find rather surprising.
