Today's Webtip: Burroughs 101
Last year the BBC celebrated William S. Burroughs centenary with a documentary. According to Ira Glass of NPR'S This American Life it does a good job of explaining the myth around the man without actually falling prey to it.
He also said it was some of the best radio made last year.
I would have to agree. The simple fact that they decided to keep Iggy's comments about what he was supposed to say had me hooked.
So if you are a fan of the man and his works, you need to hear this. And if you have never understood the hype around him, you probably need to hear this. If you are interested in the massive impact he has had on works of art ranging from writing to rap, you need to hear this. And if you are just a fan of really good radio, you also need to hear this.
In other words, you really probably need to hear this.
