right?! it amazes me how few people realize that without him, we probably wouldn't have modern day 'music videos'; and yet still nobody seems to know who he is? in addition, the style and look of current 'cinema' owes him a huge debt. he used 'eisensteins montage' method with pop-music before anyone else and it has now become a style commonplace in modern film-and still, with all the influence mentioned above, he's practically an unknown in this country, even to those interested in film.

@sydneydowful I was thinking the same thing! When I was in 9th(many years ago) they I went to school with weren't not 'enlightened' and didn't read any of the Beats!

I prefer just reading Burroughs, 'cause listening to him talk makes me fall asleep. Old junkie smelling like smoke and farts, go to bed you wrinkled ol' bastard you.

He was Honest!

What an Obsequious sycophant!
I meet Burroughs an a number of occasions.
It's true he was a great artist, but he was also a nasty bitter old junkie!
Nice video! I'm a little confused as to where the william Burroughs recording originally came from, can any help? thanks!

@Flasdingleray Thanks! Nic created the audio (with my help) using sampled audio from other YouTube videos and personal field recordings.

Is this Christ Cumming the second? Porter Hall was already taken so I took Really Happening's name. Gogo the second is responsible for this fine video (a school project)
