Author and beat notable William S. Burroughs would have been ninety-eight today.
My big claim to Burroughs fame came some years ago when I was working for Moe’s Books. Burroughs was coming by to sign books, I don’t recall what… But, I did a flyer using words cut out of magazines and then cellophane pasted onto a sheet of paper. I asked that copier service to punch up the contrast so as to show the tape. They agreed to do so only if I did not say who did the job, which they thought was dirty & which is exactly what I wanted.
(Yes, I’ve mentioned this before…)
When he saw the flyers he said in his dry as death voice, “Nice job.”
Made my day…
(And, yes, Mr Burroughs is a very good example why there should be better gun control laws in Mexico, as well as here…)
