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. 600 10 $a Burroughs, William S., $d 1914-1997. 600 10 $a Burroughs, William S., $d 1914-1997 $x Friends and associates. 650 0 $a Rock musicians $x Influence. 941 $a 4 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20200528063327.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214022031.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20190824012531.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806080746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC2BDD629C8E11E981649E3E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
