William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll by Casey Rae
William Burroughs' life and art, situated in the context of the most radical and influential rock n roll stars of the late twentieth century
The ultimate guide to Burroughs as counter-cultural contagion -- David Keenan
There's a brilliant idea behind Casey Rae's William SBurroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll, which is that if you simply follow Burroughs through the rock 'n' roll years you'll see him achieve a flickering ubiquity - lurking here, eavesdropping there, photobombing the whole parade. It becomes a kind of alternative history * New York Times *
A timely reminder of the Pope Of Dope's influence on good music as well as tedious transgressive sludge. "Once you start looking, Burroughs is everywhere," Rae writes. "It's like a game of Where's WaMo? with a killer soundtrack.' * Uncut *
