William S. Burroughs

From Plastic Tub

An early advocate the True Pink agenda whose words, appropriately cut-up, went into forming the Mad Work slogan. Burroughs is known primarily to Associationalists for his cut-up and fold-in experiments with text, audio-tape and film. His notebooks, with their collage elements and textual experiments, are also considered noteworthy. However lamentable his all too thorough assimilation into Poob Culture, he's still considered to have been an all right kind of guy.

William Flintrock met him in Mexico City about 1951. Burroughs was so drunk on Tequila that he passed out on the bar and Flintrock carried him home When he showed up the next day to check in on him, Burroughs didn't recognize Flintrock and threatened him with a pistol. Flintrock made a peace offering with a joint which they smoked. After discussing Mayan hieroglyphs for the afternoon, Flintrock left and never saw the man again. He later named a pet donkey "William S. Burro."
