Glenn Armstrong replied to Glenn Armstrong's discussion Naked Lunch the restored text by William S Burroughs in the group The Bookshelf"I shook Ginsberg's hand after a poetry reading and asked him how he did it (wrote so much poetry, published so much).

Glenn Armstrong replied to Glenn Armstrong's discussion Naked Lunch the restored text by William S Burroughs in the group The Bookshelf"I get what you are saying about unmanned space travel. Possibly advances in the inner space of the Internet, cyberattacks, and so forth are more compelling today than Buck Rogers style space operas. Currently listening to Coleman Hawkins to…"

I WANT to be wrong. Convince me that I'm wrong. Just tell me what you meant when you wrote that controversy is the very essence of Anglo-Saxon society and that's what non Anglo-Saxons don't understand about your culture. Just…"

My grandfather (who was a childhood friend of Ray Bradbury) once told me that he was disappointed in the progress of the space program. This was in the '90s and shortly before he died. He expected colonies on the moon and interstellar…"
sleazy replied to Glenn Armstrong's discussion Naked Lunch the restored text by William S Burroughs in the group The Bookshelf"Obviously, this is getting out of hand.

Glenn Armstrong replied to Glenn Armstrong's discussion Naked Lunch the restored text by William S Burroughs in the group The Bookshelf"Not a problem. Just fun writing about cut ups and futurist stuff.
