Krátky popis
William S. Burroughs's fiction and essays are legendary, but his
influence on music's counterculture has been less well
documented-until now. Examining how one of America's most
controversial literary figures altered the destinies of many
notable and varied musicians, William S.Burroughs and the Cult of
Rock 'n' Roll reveals the transformations in music history that can
be traced to Burroughs. A heroin addict and a gay man, Burroughs
rose to notoriety outside the conventional literary world, his
masterpiece, Naked Lunch, was banned on the grounds of obscenity,
but its nonlinear structure was just as daring as its content.
Casey Rae brings to life Burroughs's parallel rise to fame among
daring musicians of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, when it became a
rite of passage to hang out with the author or to experiment with
his cut-up techniques for producing revolutionary lyrics (as the
Beatles and Radiohead did).Whether they tell of him exploring the
occult with David Bowie, providing Lou Reed with gritty depictions
of street life, or counseling Patti Smith about coping with fame,
the stories of Burroughs's backstage impact will transform the way
you see America's cultural revolution-and the way you hear its
music.
