william s burroughs-words of advice for young people

[TristenDeschain]

This man is probably the most intelligent writer ever. And stupid ignorant fucks like Mister Smoking Jacket42 (yes, his 42nd smoking jacket) come along and attempt to give us their next to nothing cents worth opinion on him.Wow. Humans are totally doomed. What next......

@TristenDeschain The 'Old fool sold his soul...' line is actually a quote from the song itself. You can hear it at 2:57 .

[TristenDeschain]

@fishbonegroove -Very sorry for that outburst. Turns out I am the ignorant fuck in this case. Well, at least another mistake I can learn from.

@TristenDeschain

Yeah, he is quoting from Burroughs himself, what did this guy that is so annoying?

@ukidding

Why not? You aren't likely to sound any better at his age. Granted, I wouldn't do heroin if you paid me, but Burroughs did and had a brilliant career and in some ways saw the world far more clearly than many people who never used a drug or took a drink in their lives.

[LEOSAYSAYS]

Worth taking note of!

I haven't heard this in years. Been quoting it for most of them though. Old fool sold his soul for a strap-on. Ta.
