Wow!
Don't like enough about him to say just saw drugstore cowboy. 🐣
Got me interested in Orgone energy and changed my life. Radionics has really expanded.
Anyone else been to his New Orleans house on the island of Algiers? It’s where he lived when he was writing Junky. The current owners are seriously paranoid and hostile to fans visiting the site. They even grew a palm tree to obstruct the historic placard that reads “BURROUGHS HOUSE” in their yard.
I own every Burroughs’ novel and own/loved reading Call Me Burroughs. Naked Lunch radically changed me as a writer, I read it 3 times, however “And The Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks” is my current favorite.
HUH..?...it's not only Miles..it's many of the Brits...the speech pattern...the rhythms..the ups and downs..fade in/fade out...
Love this. I always wanted to be his young girlfriend back in the 1980's in my late teens.I still adore him he is still so interesting. I always ready Naked Lunch, Junky, and Queer every year. So much love for this man and utmost respect to you for putting this "out there"
Yes I always re-read The Cat Inside a few times a year - my holy book!! 🏛🐾🏛 Also The Third Mind written with Gysin.
Congrats TRTW: You've made me transcend into full fledged hipster. Lovely knee slapper of a diddy.
I just finished Barry Miles' masterful "London Calling: A Countercultural History of London Since 1945". A riveting book. The amount of cultural and historical detail about a vast range of people and ideas is astonishing. Although Miles is most associated with the London of the mid-60s, I think this book has the best overview of British punk that I've read. Highly recommended.
My favorite book of Burroughs,is Naked Lunch-its so cool,its exitingly cool,the text have no story,but alot of avantgarde funny writing that is undefinable to tell about.anyway iif you havent read it,do!Because its an experience for a lifetime!
Living The life of a gentleman he says .yet bumming young boys...I like his writing alot ... but sod hanging about at the end of his partys
08:44 " Bullseye ! "
A great tribute to a legend.
I swear Robert frasier had a heroin prescription .
I knew a few who did
@@paulone805 wish I had been one
Man says at 1:25: ''He dinned at night, and picked up Piccadilly rent boys, and he lived a proper St James's gentleman life...''
It's called social hypocrisy or moral bankruptcy, take your pick. The Piccadilly meat rack,and btw when he said boys, he meant boy,s, not youth, there was a ring of foster parents who brought boys from the age of 4 to the Wimpey Bar there. If your a inherited wealth wealthy sex tourist, write for left wing indie publications, not only will they stupidly ot see the contradictions of members of the elite class larping as revolutionaries they will be quietly impressed by any degree of child cruelty and modern day slavery and extreme sadism .and mental cruelty towards the vulnerable, .on the part of their heroes. This is why we have monsters amongst us. Brain dead sht eating hero worshippers.
But proper gentlemen do not bugger boys.
One would imagine back in those days it was free love with everyone doing drugs being space cadets for NASA on a one way trip to Pluto partaking in orgies and dickie back rides boring each other new arseholes etc.
Yeah right.bollox course he did you think he checked rent boys ages
@@user-nt6hb6bv8p probably the 60’s are to blame lots of people were experimenting with drugs , Acid LSD , thinking that they were space cadets for NASA on a one way trip to Pluto , free sex , orgies , sleeping around , girls together , boys together trying to bore each other new arseholes etc .
Chop chop, goode Morgan yens, yuns and yewins...love under a hate everyone equally requiem serf fifel trip cunt in yew em
Love you Uncle Bill
still love his work!!
haha weird music style for this song but i enjoyed it :D
'Well y'know we lived in real squalor, seedy places... Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Duke St. Wouldn't put a dog there...'
It was a different era, you could get cheap rooms in those places, now you can't get very cheap rooms anywhere, and the cost of living wasn't prohibitive to going out for dinner. London hadn't yet been turned into a ruthless, corrupt, money making machine. He lived where it made sense to because it was affordable. The photographs show a very basic, sparsely furnished set up, he wasn't living in luxury. If it was today he couldn't live in London at all. Decades of corruption, turning a blind eye to Russian, Chinese and Saudi money means nothing is affordable any more as it's all owned by dictators.
@@DenkyManner So morals that would be ... objecting to high rents and the wrong sort of Johnny foreigner. Sadistic pedophile sex tourists? Our sort of people, don't ya know!
What happened to the original?
probably got copyrighted because of the animations
@@lmn_godie2598 the animations themselves should be public domain, so i assume it was taken down by tuesday weld themselves when they remade this song
There's somewhere in wonderland that song has to be out there somewhere😊
Well done!
Thanx for this so interesting
'Boy friends' from Piccadilly? Dilly boys? It was organised-crime-controlled prostitution of runaway boys aged for the most part between 10 and 17 years. Older was too old for these 'gentlemen'.
What’s that standing behind her in the photo at 10.43?
Check out this song inspired by William S. Burroughs ! ua-cam.com/video/H9Nw3nmLFdo/v-deo.html
i love it!!
I'm related to Marie.
Which is just what I was saying to Marie Kelly. In the 1920's there must be lots of relatives still alive. Some registrars must have mixed up the birth certificates. Because of the similarities between the surnames of Woods, and Wood. In my own family. The Birth registrar's messed up the surname.
isnt this the song from Karate kid
Fantastic.
I have an autographed photograph of Marie Lloyd
Marie Lloyd, my great-great aunt. ❤️
Let It Be Mary . Wow that's fascinating. I'm some what obsessed with her and the sisters. My parents and mates say I was borin in the wrong century because of my love of her and music hall lol
@@fatjackjack5416 Oh, that's so sweet! I'm sure Marie and her sisters would be thrilled to know that they're still loved and remembered. You never know, perhaps you had a past life in Victorian London! :)
Really? I watched a film with Jessie Wallace (Cat from Eastenders), in the lead role.. She was brilliant in it! Are you really Marie Lloyd's G-g-niece?
@@jankelly4933Surely there must be lots of people who can lay claim to being related to the Wood family. There must be lots of branches of the family connected by Marriage.
Excellent stuff. Thanx!
I' m glad Bill isn' t around for the tyrannical woode nheads running shit now.
Always a pleasure to hear stories about Bill Burroughs, especially from Barry Miles.
An enjoyable video! A sad story, really, but the men’s business suit is sartorial genius. If he wants to, a modern Western man may wear the same suit of clothes to a graduation, a job, a wedding, a court of law, a funeral, even to his own funeral. It even affords him the pleasure of yanking his tie off to indicate that he is going to relax.
Wearing the same suit for all those occasions isn't nearly as positive as you make it out to be. For one, the modern suit and the culture around it largely strips you of your individuality and stunts sartorial expression. Most men today are scared to experiment and express themselves through their clothes, largely due to there only really being one socially acceptable option with at most some slight variation in small highlight colors. It's not really a matter of choice, men today are not socially allowed to deviate lest they have their entire identity, sexuality and/or even gender questioned by the world. It's definitely cheaper to only wear one thing sure but it's also harmfully restrictive.
Miles is a gift and a joy. Wonderful stories of wsb. Sorry to be late to this party. Best & cheers, Sean
What an absolutely charming clip. Nicely done.
I fully enjoyed all of his UMs......you all are being bitchy.
Excellent piece. Anyone know when Burroughs met Megson/ Genesis P Orridge?
P Orridge: No talent freak!
Waay past time for a second release...
Orgone!! I recall (trying) to buildi “accumulators” in 1990. In Eugene, Oregon a cadre of freaks(Merkin Lounge)started a renaissance of Reich, Burroughs, and Brion Gysons early works. Ours were bastardized versions that had perverse passions increased as well
Miles' biography of Burroughs was titled "Literary Outlaw"--fascinating read...he also wrote a biography of Somerset Maugham
Ted Morgan’s biography was Literary Outlaw
Thanks for posting. Nicely executed video. I like the printed questions as it gives the floor completely to Barry Miles.
Thanks!
Fascinating interview! Love anything Burroughs related!
