Is that a Burroughs-Quote ? I remember that line from a Steely Dan song. Actually I think, this IS a Steely Dan song.
But Fagen and Becker are pretty literate anyway, so it wouldn't be surprising.
Wasn't Burroughs in a U2-Video shortly before he died ? "Staring at the sun" from "Pop" ?
Never read anything from him, but would really like to. Is "Naked Lunch" a good start ?
I recommend Bukowski, by the way.
A friend of mine stayed with Burroughs on his ranch in Kansas a couple of years before he died. He was a hunchback by then.
David Bowie and Burroughs did a joint interview and photo session for Rolling Stone in 1974, and Bowie cited him as a big influence on his writing, especially the 'cut up' technique

Hi there,
Know it's off topic, but didn't Bowie only use the 'cut up' technique for the lyrics on some of his albums (most obviously on that year's 'Diamond Dogs')?

Burroughs was in U2's video for Last Night On Earth. Parts of the video were shot in nearby Kansas City, not far from Burroughs's home outside Lawrence, Kansas.
Bowie's not used cut ups on all his albums, that's true, but Diamond Dogs (which he was recording when he met Bill for the first time), Heroes, Lodger and Outside did, among others
