THE SUPER CHURCH OF WILLIAM BURROUGHS

From the collage techniques developed by William Burroughs and from the audios recorded in these two very antagonistic and different LPs ("Fornicating Female Freaks, Bold Butchy Lesbians, AC-DC Sex" and "David Wilkerson - The Coming Persecution") I build this simple sound tribute: "The super church of William Burroughs"

​Published in labOratorio, Maldonado, 2014.

Cool stuff, Juan! The god of trash approves i bet! John Waters may be the pope, but Uncle Bill is among the gods of trash!

Always nice to hear a fun tribute to WSB, thanks for sharing, Juan.

I lived in Lawrence, Kansas, for 12 years, and throughout that time, Mr. Burroughs' post office box was located directly below my own (both while he lived and afterwards, managed by James Grauerholz). The postal workers accidentally put WSB's mail into my box on several occasions too (of course, I always redirected it to its rightful destination!).

I offer this link to a letter that I wrote to the editors of the Lawrence Journal World back when the local legislators rejected a proposal to name a creek after WSB (the idea was approved a few years later)

For you and other Burroughs fans, the link below leads to a video of the ENTIRE (3 hour long) 1996 Nova Convention held in Lawrence, featuring John Giorno, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Ed Sanders, Blondie, Patty Smith, and Burroughs himself...

Also, Barry Miles biography -- "Call Me Burroughs" is one of the most revealing life stories I've ever read -- 600 pages.

Keep up the good work, Juan!

Keep up the good work.

Neal, just to avoid confusion, maybe you already know this -- the Nova Convention that your album referenced took place in New York in 1978. It was more of a poetry sort of gig than the more musical second one that happened in Lawrence in 1996. Zappa had already left the world before that one took place (RIP, 1993).

What happened to your copy of that album?
