Random question: anyone know why he smokes like that in the beginning?

I wonder if Jim Morrison drew inspiration for the Soft Parade, from William ,B. The similarities are uncanny.

His work with Kurt Cobain is quite good.

Why can't "they" stop featuring this poor stupid jerk, he was nothings at all, exept a wracked human being, did secret thinking he was a rockstar

I love how he slams that glass after a sip of water. Almost like some form of OCD.

I think he was a better painter than writer.. his books are terrible... after Junky & Queer..

but was he still using heroin during this period? or opiates in general general? he has a voice....he seems done

crétin

I hope i get to meet sid on the other side 🙏 And jim, ian, kurt

Dear Burroughs Fans, you might have missed that a new book about and with him was published. its called "soft need 23", and includes a lot of fresh material by him, his colleagues and friends! It turned out amazing, check it out.

what song is playing in the background??

I read Naked Lunch in 1989. Beat up copy at a friend’s place. Great novel. Never put up with talking assholes again.

The interviewer is very dull in her attempts to be erudite.

I approve of this message.

I don't understand what they are talking about...

À la mémoire de Édouard LIMONOV ❤!

I was at this opening, as the gallery was owned by the mother of a friend of mine. I watched people come up and flatter him- obese society women saying "Oh William!" or whatever, and when I was asked if I wanted to smoke a joint with him in the office, I watched him standing on his own, looking tired, and thought no, what would I have to say to him? Now, I realise i had loads to say to him. Stuff he might even be interested in, but i was 19 and shy. I did take a splinter from one of the shotgun paintingss.Kept it for years.

Working on my Burroughs impersonation. One of my favorite voices to do it’s so distinct.

What a great document of such an important literary figure. And Kathy, such as gracious interviewer, left us too young.

I see WB's point about the glorifying of self in belief systems. As a note Islam also says, "All glories to the Almighty." I think the point is human conception of the everlasting and the Almighty is the same as a pebble of sand. You cannot destroy what you cannot see? That means all flesh inevitably falls to hubris. Wisdom is in understanding why we falter? We all do.

The first clip is AC/DC BC (Before Cliff). Bon was really flattering to Cliff in his interview with Molly.

kathy acker 👌

Ricci!!

So beautiful !!! ❤

One of the best 3 minutes of music on that first album

His Voice Is A Weapon

He didn't write Junkie, his first book, till he was 50 years old. Was on some opiate till his death.

Great to see this interview; thank you so much for posting it. The book on Jesus he mentions toward the end - as far as I know this never materialized. Does anyone know if any fragments or excerpts were ever published?

Beautiful!Sid Vicious' concept of flirting was hilarious!He takes his shoe off and turns to that girl and was like:"Here,smell it!!!"🤣🤣🤣I bet she was lost in love with Sid from that moment on!🤣🤣🤣

Don't date Nancy, Sid! Don't do it!

Bingo!

4:21 - I like that he corrected himself. By this point in his life had opened up more to the influence of women, his world view wasn't exclusively male as it had been by his own admission.

Stupid questions.

I have this in two parts somewhere amidst my digital detritus,…upload from years ago. Very Appreciative that this division in footage was finally welded together here digitally. Nostrovia

There is something much more amazing about Burroughs than his works. How the fuck did he survive that long?

I have a fair amount of respect for Burroughs as an author and enjoy listening to him speak too, but I think there's nuance beyond the obvious ethical questions around his killing of his wife. He was intelligent and well-read, but he was also a fuckin' kook, vis the blasé open-mindedness on display here about Scientology and EST, both damaging cults based on laughably stupid ideas, and remarks elsewhere about things like demonic possession. Frequently in his wake its seemed like this pick 'n' mix occultism irritatingly defined the landscape of avant garde writing. I remember a call for submissions from Stuart Home for some publication or grant where an interest not just in experimental writing but in this kind of magical-thinking BS was all too predictably part of the criteria, and feeling that this was entirely, frustratingly typical. Other than that, after the knock-out early stuff, both the famous experiments and the relatively trad but still highly distinctive work that predated it - Junky and Queer - in his later efforts he fell into repetition of his old tricks and obsessions, resulting in some very dull reads. The Place of Dead Roads and Cities of the Red Night are examples, both bad in my view.

Un bravo ragazzo!...grande Sid

I'll applaud this band and this track for getting me off the pop top 40

Why do you glamorize pedophiles?

Sidney Sheldon Vicious

He was so cute 😢 rip

Unbelievble this one become an icon???

I think he is proof It is not how the person accepts the drug It is how the drug accepts the person

One of the most loveable knob heads of all time. Bless you Simon Ferocious xx

Acker was one of the few major authors who really took Burroughs to task for killing his wife. I miss her dearly

I could listen to this dude all day

zero tent bum didnt stand for anything except drugs good ridding

quando eu era pré adolescesnte, eu sempre via um cara passando de moto na frente da minha casa sem capacete, até que um dia eu comecei a ouvir sex pistols e quando eu bati o olho no Sid, eu achei a cara do rapaz que passava de moto kkk, mas o rapaz tinha o cabelo arrepiado do vento, mas o rosto era a mesma coisa que ta vendo o sid..... eu ate poderia dizer que ele se parecia por causa do estilo da roupa, mas o cara usava camiseta normal, nada punk kkkkk, ele deve ser um daqueles sósias que surgem em algum lugar do mundo!

I agree with him entirely about the "either"/"or" fallacy, by the way. It is definitely a major cognitive error in "mainstream" Western thought, and it permeates our discourse -- political and every other type.
