was taken from the writings of the only figure in (actually, on the periphery of) the American "Beat Generation" who deserves to be taken seriously: William S. Burroughs.


I also happen to admire the work of Jack Kerouac, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and a few others who usually fall into the Beat Writers niche, and, along with Burroughs, would certainly consider their work worthy of being taken seriously...IMHO, of course.
