Words Of Advice William S. Burroughs

[chucku00]

OMFG this IS gold !

Je suis français (je revendique le "f" MINUSCULE), je suis athée (pas agnostique), mais Bill Laswell pourrait être une manifestation de "this Highness" !

[brewcifer79]

There is a better version of this on Big Hard Disk vol.2... an industrial version... Yeah Bill was a gay(bi) junkie.... but he got clean for most of his later years..... RIP Billy Seward

[feverdeanmg]

"Beware of whores who say they don't want money. The hell they don't. What they mean is they want MORE money, MUCH MORE."

I love Bill.

[ImaniHekima]

I love the Coltrane/Don Cherry and Herbie samples in this ("The Blessing" and "Sleeping Giant") - done with very discerning taste.

[666yanco]

suck it all up billy.......and push

[TemplePhantom]

Material really had a hard on for Burroughs.

[lupuslefou2]

wow. I recall playing this song and the CD when I worked at WXOU 88.3 FM at Oakland University in Auburn Hills, MIchigan in the mid nineties. Take me back to my old drug fueled rave days in detroit. :)

[NotoTruth]

i remembered this dude from drugstorecowboy like 15 yrs ago...so looked him up...pretty cool.i cant wait till i "get it"

[ronrutherford]

The whole "vampire" "plasma of blood thing" is a direct rip off of Anton LaVey's description of "Psychic Vampires". Just sayin...

[dirtytrainers]

this is amazing man - crazy cat but a genious beat writer

[SodPunisher]

A n d THIS Was A Small Reflection Upon 'Hencmenn's" Statement I F Not Explicit Understood...Y-Tube Settings/Layout I s RATHER Freakish...eh well well

[SodPunisher]

problem i s that he could d o anything...possible just in order to make devoted followers pissed...this was a very small activity for Burroughs a n d a great deal o f ALL things done by that old dude was sell-out(all those posing with 45's stuff) because a genius who at the very same time is a real egocentric "rockstar" act that way besides it's a great to "hide one true face" the masterpiece Gyson-collaborateted "the cat inside" was published around t h i s time a n d a man like bill LIVES <3

[MrSKINFLICK]

@SodPunisher:

Everyone who is against the dangerous despotic anti-free-will influence of Amerian evangelists is automacly someone tring to gain "devoted followers pissed" in your confused inner world, aha !

Who is ruining your country ? Mr Burroughs "devoted pissed followers" or the hideous Calvinistic scum at the stock exchanges in Chicago + New York who criminally want to wreck the whole planet ?

Burroughs is not the problem, he clearly analysed the faults of Americanism which is an ideology.

[BobForehead]

the version on Spare Ass Annie is what i need right now, but i'll do this to take the edge off, thnx.

"...so you can take the offer as a compliment."

[clobber75]

this old leathery ghost agent was in my dreams lecturing me on language

even before he died and went 'full spirit'

he was already working on multiple levels

[cellochick96]

Mr. Burroughs was indeed a Bisexual which is a fact that is VERY relavent in his works. If you read any of his books it's quite obvious.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@cellochick96: Indeed !

And many bisexual men fear the reaction of their reactionary women. I was always asking myself why they married then ? Secret hidden wish for mama´s despotic control on their lives for a whole lifetime? Though i must say that some of them are better lovers when they find apt men + then liberate themselves for two hours or more ! Many Americans will still have to discover Burroughs liberated self......

- free of any bigotry !

Time is ripe for that !

[MrSKINFLICK]

@cellochick96:Though i don´t want to overrate my own remark now,it ought to be clear,that his tendency changed clearly towards men after the mid50s-a bit too late in my opinion.

Women don´t often know the slightest bit about male sexuality-all men have a strong tendency towards bisexuality+that is the paranoia of bigoted na(r)zissistic women like Sarah Palin,Anita Bryant+Mary Whitehouse.

Women probably also invented religions with all their perverted superstitions,check their manias gettin old.

[hurphurphurp]

@MrSKINFLICK

Oh my, poor show.

[z0mb1ll]

wiliam burroughs was gay the reason he had a wife was because it was a common law mariage read junky or anything he wrote idiots debate over not like his sexuality matters

[MrSKINFLICK]

@z0mb1ll: Lots of bisexuals lie to themselves about their true disposition that may be one of the reasons Burroughs may have be wrong about himself.

I always noticed that heterosexual men use heroin to deafen their their hidden homosexual desires, no joke. Also present in a great song by the Dandy Warhols "Not if you were the last junkie on earth"

Nevertheless Burroughs was a great man !

[ACRTGATB]

Willam Burroughs freaks me right out. We aren't going to think of his sorry ass - his sorry DEAD ass. No!! He's a *spirit* now! Fuck - In my dreams! see you in my dreams, fucker.

[hippoloveslapper]

Maybe we should put an apple on jrrobichaux head. I hope my aim is as good as William Burroughs, lol

[fjdmusicman]

OMG man, are you homophobic ? all your comments end up with the common knowledge that Burrougs was gay ..and ? what's your point ?

[samsmacdaddy]

thanks for that question. I was wondering what the point is too. who cares?

[samsmacdaddy]

he was married and had a son. not that excludes one from being gay.

[jrrobichaux]

samsmacdaddy--he was gay. end of story. do some research.

[fjdmusicman]

ahhh being married with children means BI_SEXUAL:...have you passed 6th grade jrrobichaux ??

[fjdmusicman]

My real point here isn't his sexual preference and the fact that he was a great writer and visionary is so often shadowed by his bi- sexuality and homosexuality.. His peresonal lifestyle is his own choice, what he did to his body is his own right. For some reason writers who kill themselves with booze are considered cool but do it with drugs and they are "addicts" "junkies" and 'perverts'... He lived a full and productive life and broke new ground,BTW enter "a junkies Christmas" in the youtube

[MrSKINFLICK]

@fjdmusicman:

Not so true: Even some gay men can technically sleep with women, don´t ask me how they do it, but almost nothing is impossible on earth. But THAT doesn´t make them automaticly be "confessing" hetero- or bisexuals. Reality is a bit more "confusing" than some míght imagine.

[wileedingo]

love it. If yer doin business with a religious sob...

[Frottom]

I'd say it's the trustworthiness of Muslims that's being called into question at the moment.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@Frottom_

"Christian" evangelical piss-takers in the USA are almost exactly the same like radical Islamists - a totalitarian denial of free human will in the name of a despotic "god". No wonder both groups are permanently in conflicts !

Christianity has as much guilt as Islam.

[fjdmusicman]

why do people post comments on things they haven't a clue what the meaning is ? Most of the comments come from younger people, it just goes to show the failure of the education and social structure of moderen America.

[PhantomCrawl]

@fjdmusicman Most of the comments do appear to come from quite younger uninformed people. I am sure have not much of a clue who william burroughs is, and it probably hasn't even occurred to them to wikipedia or google it as the youth of today need to be spoon fed everything or they never find it

[MrSKINFLICK]

@PhantomCrawl:Lots of those"uninformed younger peopke"come from homes all over the world where bigotry is the family agenda = e.g. parents smoking weed themselves on certain occasions but forbid it to their offspring -a dilemma which can drive younger people to the verge of madness -much of what i see inside silly comments here: Inbred results of family conflicts +here just trying to take the piss out of people who are NOT their parents.I´m very glad i´m gay -not only because of sexual aspects.

[Oscar301]

This is a dusted over version as found on the Spare Ass Annie CD... nice post

[henchmenn]

old fool sold his soul for a what? (at end)

[vamfv]

strap on.

[160newcrossroad]

sold his soul for a 'strap on' a prosthetic penis... the point being that as you get older it 'hits the hardest blow especially below the belt' hope that helps

[comic2001]

@henchmenn strap-on.

[ThePertinentesUno]

@henchmenn strap-arm. He's a heroin addict. Don't get the wrong idea.

[bignosycat]

thank you for posting this one - love it

[Espencrass]

Bill Laswell,Butthole leade singer? With Jesus Built my Hotrod,it is a love affair.

[feverdeanmg]

@Espencrass Gibby Haynes is the Butthole's lead singer, "Jesus" is by Ministry.

[brewcifer79]

@feverdeanmg Wow... Gibby Hanes sang "Jesus built my hotrod" even though he is the leadsinger of the Butthole Surfers and Ministry did the song.. It's called collaboration

[morphologies]

get it in writing.

[churchofbabylon]

THEY AIN'T NO SEX IN THE CHAMPAGNE

[sydbarrett5]

Ha ha! Nice one mate

[sorenpoulsen]

bill laswell stole this from billy cobham. the song is called snoopys search/red baron. download it. theif!

[NJD1967]

BillLaswell is one of the most eclectic&inspirational people involved in music-awesome is the only word to describe his vast catalogue of wildly differing musical styles-this just another example of his genius.

Thank you for posting!!!

[unclejemima83]

love this song

[dragondrop]

Hi Hephaistes,

Axiom is the name of the label; Material is the name of the project (featuring, amongst others, legendary bassman Bill Laswell); and Hallucination Engine is the name of the album. It's a treat. You should check out other Axiom titles (look for Bootsy Collins and company).

[Hephaistes]

Axiom? Thought they were called Material (at least my copie of the album says; Material, hallucination engine).

[molloyx]

This is a gem I have had just the luck to find now. Like Candide after the last and laziest sheep. And his voice over and underneath this lovely swamp sonata. Give me an address and I will send you a million dollars, American.

[xwsftassell]

I met Burroughs once at a PV for his shotgun paintings. Very doddery, he was.
