WARHOL BURROUGHS NICO - CHELSEA HOTEL - 1980

[PanoplyCabaret]

That tour guide reminds me of Peter Sellers.

[peopleschampions]

Andy Warhol would like to meet Lady Gaga, I don't think Burroughs would...

[bowenmcconnie]

please check out my youtube channel...Burroughs is in "Taser Gun"...here they come now..

[Dehunski11]

Warhol was basically the proto-type hipster of all time. 

[Girlymurder]

I believe the dish that they were eating is Hasenpfeffer.

[tonymostromable]

WSB of course wrote NL outside of the US, as all good children know....

[milascave2]

@tonymostromable Moraco, to be precise. And it can still raise a blush on most first time readers.

[SYRUPLIFESTYLE]

Can anyone tell me which BBC FOUR tv program this clip was taken from? I'd love to see the whole thing. Thanks

[lakmilis]

lmao, don't know shit about warhol, but if you don't even know what hare is, to ask what a male rabbit is called, you can only be a thick air-head and most likely , according to Mr. Springsteen, born in the usa.

[AirlayLeekoh]

blowing smoke up ones own perpetual assholes.

i say that with all my heart.

i miss William Burroughs earthly presence.

[Gwyll2501]

How did Burroughs ever put up with this shit?

[sfca925]

When Warhol said, this is the first time I've had hare, I thought he was talking about the hair  on his head LOL...

[TheMoonunit13]

@sfca925 I thought he was eating some type of food with animal hair.lmao

[suzannenico]

LOVE THIS!!!

[SisterRags]

Stunning video...irreplaceable. Thank you, d., for posting it.

[kosmischesynth]

William Burroughs looks annoyed, not relaxed. I seem to remember having read that he and Warhol didn't get along very well. I doubt that Burroughs was a good mixer, having read his books...

[33onlytwin]

@kosmischesynth Yes, he looks roundly fed up...I think I also remember reading, perhaps in Ted Morgan's biography, that he thought Warhol was basically a moron, and took an equally dim view of Lou Reed...

[kosmischesynth]

@33onlytwin haha, that's interesting. It's very Burroughs not to recognise what you helped create. I ought to read his biography really -- I can't figure out what it is I like about his work, as a book like Junky isn't really made of anything special, and yet, Burroughs' phrases haunt me -- I end up carrying his little maxims round with me in my head. I'd have to say that his writing is like a drug, and that it hits you at the back of the neck first and washes through your whole body...

[mark9xxx]

what a bunch of prize tits. Get out your gun Willy B, and show him who's boss.

[craigoog]

I would have been nice if the guitarist knew the song:) I LOVE Nico BTW!

[DailyBrusher]

Thanks so much for posting! Anyone know who the guitarist is, with Nico?

[revMJLush]

william burroughs didn't write Naked Lunch in the chelsea hotel...that tour guide is making things up.

[joebstarsurfer]

that is absurd lol william b rocks.

[crossybhoy]

the English guy is, I think, Victor Brokris who tape-recorded many of Burroughs dinner-parties and turned it into a book Conversations with a Genius.

Ha, the lies from the Chelsea tour guide/bell-boy is like that of the same magnitude of the one in Sid and Nancy. "this is the floor where Naked Lunch was written". LMFAO.

[egeneric]

I guess it's true... (once you go black u don't go back...) !?

[leftedge]

can you say who the guitarist is accompanying nico? just read james young's excellent book, 'nico, the last bohemian', about nico & her musicians, so would appreciate knowing who that guitarist actually is. & thank you for this!

[Motobecane98sommet]

@leftedge He is named Joe Bidewell (you can find things on google)

[leftedge]

@Motobecane98sommet thank you! (google is good.)
