Cut up machine
June 5, 2011 at 6:15 pm
I've run a bit of text through this:

It is all so clear now...
For those that don't know, I am a huge fan of William S. Buroughs and one of the methods he used for writing was the "cut up." The method he employed was to actually cut up pages of his text and assemble them back together. He said it was a way of extracting the true meaning from his words. He was also a fan of "inching" which was to take recorded stock and pull it manually over the reader head. The result is said to pin the words, like interogation subjects, to their true meanings; like waterboarding the tape to get the real information. Now if only I had the space to build an orgone generator. Maybe I could think better after a good trepaning. At least that is what my phrenologist suggests...

I tried reading Naked Lunch but it was really messed up. Something about giant bug semen used as a drug. I do like listening to him talk though as he has a strangely soothing voice.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Mugwumps produce the semen and in the book a user would have to drink it from their cocks not the top of their heads. The black meat was made from ground up centipedes. There was much less stuff about typwriters in the book. I would say the movie was just a documentary about the writing process that went into the book. Still cool though! Some of the stuff in the movie was actually from his anthology "Interzone" which has some great short stories. Some of them are cut-up but most are just regular stories that a normal person can follow.

Burroughs was considered by many to be a spoiled man-child who couldn't even get into the US military but somehow managed to get into Harvard. Silver spoon much??
He was a self-proclaimed drug addict and an alcoholic and even killed his own wife one night when he accidentally shot her in the head while in a drunken stupor.
I'm no expert, but the man seemed more like a wanna-be to me than a legitimate intellectual, and his "artistic, outside-the-box" ideas hailed by some were often considered the whimsies of a deluded man by others.
He was a beatnik who helped to found the counterculture movement, which is cool I guess, but coming up with stupid ideas and labeling them as genius is just insulting. My only point here ... the man was WAY over-rated.
But hey, who am I, I think Obama is overrated too.

For me it is his brazen presentation that wins it for me. He, knew what he was doing, and didn't care much for its validity.

Apparently you are not alone. He does seem to yet have a fan club.

He shot his wife in the head while he was drunk? I bet he never fails the old 'walk in a straight line' test. I know I always do... it's just so boring when I could bounce around the line cheerfully
