Funnier than s**it !

So this is who Yoda was based off...

it spills over in from sci fi into music Kraftwerk

"Maple Court Trajedy" is the title printed on theLP.

Putin is still alive

Allen Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA, and he references abusing 14 year old boys in this song...

Consider the impasse of a One-God universe. He’s all knowing, all powerful, he can’t go anywhere since he’s already everywhere, can’t do anything since the act of doing something presupposes opposition. His universe is irrevocably thermodynamic, having no friction by definition. So he has to create friction, war, fear, and death to keep his dying show on the road. Sooner or later, “Look boss we don’t have enough energy left to fry an elderly women in a fleabag hotel fire.” Well, we’ll have to start faking it. Joe looks after him sourly and mixes a bicarbonate of soda. “Sure, start faking it, and leave the details to Joe.” Look, from a real disaster you get a bit of energy - sacrifice, heroism, grief, heroism, and, above all, violent death. Life in all its rich variety. So from one energy surplus you can underwrite the next one. But if the first one is a fake you can’t underwrite a shithouse. Try and explain to Almighty God where his One-God universe is heading. Asshole doesn’t know what buttons to push or what happens when you push them. Urp, Abandon ship, goddammit, every man for himself. Like The Great Gatsby, Kim believes in the green light the orgiastic future.He believes in a magical universe, unpredictable, spontaneous, alive. A universe where anything is possible. A universe of many gods often in conflict. So the paradox of an all-knowing all-powerful god, who, nonetheless, permits suffering, evil and death, does not arise. “You got a famine here, Osiris, what happened?” - “Well you can’t win them all. Hustling myself” - Can’t you give us immortality?” -“I can give you an extension, maybe. Take you as far as the first trick… You’ll have to make it from there on your own. Most of them don’t. Figure about one in a million. And, biologically speaking, that’s very good odds”. I think we might all believe in a magical universe because that’s about the only thing that could save spaceship earth at this point. A miracle. Thank you.

If anyone knows the music at 5:10 id be pretty happy. I heard the same music playing on a tv channael inauguration video from the 80's so i know its not from him.

Luv the way he used that type of music, that is similar to what was used in those old documentaries that explained the way the economy,jobs,schools, factories, a city, the country, and the population's behavior.. I don't know what that style of music is called. But it fits perfectly with his 1950's evening news reporter type of voice. Leave it to beaver era!!....😂✌🏼

Women of the world giving tweet griref?

What kinda underaware are we still wearing here?

Thumbolina

Doggone if that don't bring me to tears again. But it feels so good. What did I do to drive her away? I love you Barbara....

This was so great to hear again.. A friend gave me a mix tape it was on the mid 80's.. We were in a travellin band. But , alas not famous enough to be casted, though i believe we did spend a lot of time plastered.

I remember hearing this when it came out in the late 60's, good stuff.

Sander's Truckstop is one of my all-time favorite albums. Ed himself signed my copy. great lyrics, music, vocals. "Death will free us from this jail". Here's hoping!

Love this. Anyone know if the music was specifically written for this piece? WSB was a total visionary/prophet: "but art is spilling out of its frame into subway graffiti-*will it stop there? *" I fucking love this whole routine so much. I think there is a strong case for WSB as an implicit anarchist. Let's examine the evidence--he completely rejected the authority of the state in all its forms, he rejected the nuclear family and its" normalcy" and being forbade to have sexual relationships with consenting parties of the same sex.. He despised the vice-grip of corporate conglomerates on everyday life and above all HATED the laws which dictated how he could change his OWN CONSCIOUSNESS... What guns he could legally own... Of course some of his writing would be called pornographic, obscene and WSB remains a "problematic" writer today, to some. Great art is frequently transgressive though! His best work still shocks due to his completely frank, uncompromising attitude. Fuck you, I'm a gay man. Fuck you, I'm a junkie! Fuck you, sherrifs with "n****r killing notches" on your rifles! Fuck your disproportionately unjust "drug laws"! And fuck you, United States Of America! You're mired in hypocrisy and up to your elbows in the blood of innocents! And this was the mid-40's/early '50's! WSB truly despised all forms of control and spent his whole life railing against the many forms he encountered. He wasn't perfect-he was deeply flawed but his art was all the better for it. I don't think he ever called himself an anarchist--he didn't seem to like boxes and easy categories-but he lived his life the way he wanted and produced a few masterpieces along the way. No wonder subsequent generations flock to his words! I really think had he lived that long he would have marched with Occupy Wall Street--he knew who the REAL criminals, perverts and immoral scumbags were. We need a William S. Burroughs more than ever now!!!

two big heroes saint john prine and angel townes van zandt is gawdiggldarn right

That’s one way to look at it. ALMOST grasps that Titus Flavius designed CHRISTIANITY as a population controlling tool to extend that control over the ages…still happening now… ESPECIALLY NOW, in 2021.

"Nothing escapes the eagle's eye". Got that right.

Art!

What's scug?

Living in Southeast Asia - this song really hits home “far across the sea”

Thanks for sharing...!

The human creature has demonstrated through the centuries a stubborn disinclination to control himself. W.S.B. from: "The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse". 1980

I can't believe I've never heard this before. Thank you for sharing :)

That fucking music. Does not work.

Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing

This is rad

What a low life Ginsberg was, he was involved with NAMBLA It's everyone's right to have these people out of their country

The windows feel no pane I love it

I like his callback to the waste land by ts eliot. I remember he said of it that it was the first great cut up

People that never have the ethereal experience of witnessing W.S.B & liking him & understanding his Art , are very much missing out on one the Greatest & creative Artists ever to come from the Americas.....

It is a classic album.

Oh my lawd!! 😂

The fact this exists assures me I might not be insane after all.

Poem so nice you played it twice

What a load of rubbish.

The picture of John and Townes Van Zandt is priceless.

Forerunner of finding nides of your significant other on the interwebs, lol.

You’ve got to be old an weird to remember this album and this, my favorite track

Such a devastating song.

Hearing the live version of this song was the first time I had ever heard of John Prine. I found and bought the CD and I have loved it for decades now. May God bless you, John, and welcome you to heaven. Thank you for all the happy times you have given to me.

Fly high John! We are all better off having known you and you gave some heart to a cold world and influenced my life! I pray your enjoying your smoke in heaven!

Please send loving thoughts and prayers to John Prine and his family as he is in critical condition at this hour, with coronavirus.

Gianfranco Marziano brought me here

Just found a pristine copy of this LP in a closet....it still sounds great today. Thanks Ed.

I would love to hear Burrough’s take on our current president.

Very goog

Almost sounds like a childhood memory that altered his thoughts about humans even more..
