you're off to a good start. I started reading Burroughs at 19 and knew I'd found my guy.

Ain't no party like AJ's party
Cause AJ's party don't stop

Cunts, junkies, and little-boy dicks
Tonight I bring you the Great Slashtubitch
Spittin words like needles, junk torpedoes
Where they's a party, I'mma Crash
Like my name is Don Cheadle

Behind the velvet red curtain, here's your boy in blue
Blue movies, blue cape, and my monocle flew
(GREAT SLASHTU—)
Down to takedown the first cross-eyed bitch
(BITCH!)
Four-flushin blue-movie counterfeits
Insolent baggage! Mindless scum!
Every dirty movie need a REAL dirty bum!

No half-ass tricks—one-quarter, two thirds—
Fake-ass moans, scatplay with fake ass-turds
Slashtu keep it one-hunnet, true to my word
Ask for poopoo on a platter, you about to get served

armchair Burroughs scholar

Burroughs was genuinely brilliant and for me he is GOAT. Kerouac was brilliant in a different way, not genius like Burroughs was genius, but he was gifted for sure.

this is why I like Burroughs. if he gave a commencement speech, it'd be called This Is Shit. most people are more or less p-zombies, the world is a hostile alien conspiracy, and he stresses bravery more than humility.

if somehow you have not, read Naked Lunch, but especially read the Red Night trilogy for what I'm referring to. Western Lands is god-tier as a life guidebook.

idgaf about Ginsberg
Kerouac is good, got me into literature
Burroughs is the fucking man and for me the GOAT

I'd write a book letting children know it's ok to like older guys
