![]() A rock musician's dream: eternal life thru drug abuse. In "Junkie" he writes: "Most addicts look younger than they are." "Perhaps if a junkie could keep himself in a constant state of kicking, he would live to a phenomenal age." Right. On the other hand, he made junk look glamorous. I've read almost everything he ever wrote. ![]() He incisively described its giant boot tromping on our minds & lit a firecracker under the boot. ![]() He was a great critic of the so-called "Great Society" & he hated it for much the same reasons that I do. He existed in a world that many ignore or disparage w/o understanding & cast fresh light on it. Always writing w/ a challenging imagination. ![]() He was an investigator, never taking things for granted, always questioning, always writing w/ clarity. Reading his hard looks at life was informative. Burroughs is, of course, one of the most important writers to me. ![]()

Though there seems to be common agreement that man is base and will act basely, the desire remains to appear civilized and self-controlled like a Calvinist in Catholic’s clothing. But even so, the acceptance of immorality goes with a bizarre show of morality: a façade of American Puritanism that glosses over American Hedonism.
