His work, and performance with Laurie Anderson on her Film :Home of The Brave is masterful. It is an all-timer. A culmination of his finest work in my opinion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6bEaYOoa9qFqdE

I'm confused. He lived in a rat-infested hotel in Paris but also had enough about him to live the life of a gentleman in London? Having lunch and dinner out in restaurants, hotels and gentleman's clubs every day!

Anyone else been to his New Orleans house on the island of Algiers? It’s where he lived when he was writing Junky. The current owners are seriously paranoid and hostile to fans visiting the site. They even grew a palm tree to obstruct the historic placard that reads “BURROUGHS HOUSE” in their yard.

I just finished Barry Miles' masterful "London Calling: A Countercultural History of London Since 1945". A riveting book. The amount of cultural and historical detail about a vast range of people and ideas is astonishing. Although Miles is most associated with the London of the mid-60s, I think this book has the best overview of British punk that I've read. Highly recommended.

It's called social hypocrisy or moral bankruptcy, take your pick. The Piccadilly meat rack,and btw when he said boys, he meant boy,s, not youth, there was a ring of foster parents who brought boys from the age of 4 to the Wimpey Bar there. If your a inherited wealth wealthy sex tourist, write for left wing indie publications, not only will they stupidly ot see the contradictions of members of the elite class larping as revolutionaries they will be quietly impressed by any degree of child cruelty and modern day slavery and extreme sadism .and mental cruelty towards the vulnerable, .on the part of their heroes. This is why we have monsters amongst us. Brain dead sht eating hero worshippers.

It was a different era, you could get cheap rooms in those places, now you can't get very cheap rooms anywhere, and the cost of living wasn't prohibitive to going out for dinner. London hadn't yet been turned into a ruthless, corrupt, money making machine. He lived where it made sense to because it was affordable. The photographs show a very basic, sparsely furnished set up, he wasn't living in luxury. If it was today he couldn't live in London at all. Decades of corruption, turning a blind eye to Russian, Chinese and Saudi money means nothing is affordable any more as it's all owned by dictators.

An enjoyable video! A sad story, really, but the men’s business suit is sartorial genius. If he wants to, a modern Western man may wear the same suit of clothes to a graduation, a job, a wedding, a court of law, a funeral, even to his own funeral. It even affords him the pleasure of yanking his tie off to indicate that he is going to relax.
@LordZeebee
@LordZeebee 3 жыл бұрын
Wearing the same suit for all those occasions isn't nearly as positive as you make it out to be. For one, the modern suit and the culture around it largely strips you of your individuality and stunts sartorial expression. Most men today are scared to experiment and express themselves through their clothes, largely due to there only really being one socially acceptable option with at most some slight variation in small highlight colors. It's not really a matter of choice, men today are not socially allowed to deviate lest they have their entire identity, sexuality and/or even gender questioned by the world. It's definitely cheaper to only wear one thing sure but it's also harmfully restrictive.
