U2 & William S. Burroughs (Last Night on Earth)

[@cornel-lazar]

Some here assumed Burroughs did work with U2 for the cash - there was a mutual appreciation and this is just one of the many U2/Burroughs projects. That work relationship began around 1986/87 - most were never released or only as bonus material. Still, a KZbin/Google should bring some of these lost gems to surface.

So awesome. William Burroughs, U2 and Kansas City. Any more videoes of Burroughs with U2?

[@k.t.5405]

Holy sht dude! This has gotta be one of the OLDEST comments on KZbin!

[@sydbarrett5]

I love Burroughs, but some of the choices he made, I don't understand. He said "No" to being in Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box video, but "Yes" to this U2 video.

[@DendrilopisXaggro]

burroughs rules!

[@dewexdewex]

Someone once told me that Beefheart's response by being asked by Bono to do some collaboration was "Sure thing, Bongo". Not sure if it's true, but it made me laugh.

[@michaelgoda7150]

Dewex Dewex burroughs also said one sentence about it “the group called Me Two” lol

[@ChavaGav]

The old Bull Lee

[@johnhughes9019]

*Collapsing from the outside This is where my shoulder begins* Burroughs was the only feature in this TRAK video that was worth a 5h1t , Mr Bradley ---

[@wireandwood]

too right. honesty's the best policy

[@yurieu5872]

i dont understand what he says please can someone type here?

[@santiago2u]

yeah, and here you arem watching a video of them

[@allaboutdmagic]

It's like James Joyce meeting Westlife...why??

[@DarkAngelEU]

Burroughs is way more horror show than Joyce, lad.

[@CoverTracks]

the fucking legend

[@santiago2u]

yep. They're from Dublin. XD

[@kdmitche]

Wicked!

[@DAVETYIOP]

Howl was Allen Ginsberg. William S Burroughs was Naked Lunch.

[@k.t.5405]

Holy sht dude! Is this the OLDEST comment on KZbin?

[@angierolls5329]

✌best

[@AdrianFeuchter]

I bring no peace, but a sword.

[@arancione1721]

Why he always look interested on rock music?

[@orgonebox4mi357]

It's the other way around mister

[@stlmxc]

that's the closest thing to a direct commentary on christianity as i've ever heard from him. see matthew 10:34

[@SavageHenry777]

Then you haven't heard much.

[@satanicaleve]

Burroughs instead should have hooked up with Phil Lynott when Phil was still alive. :)

[@trenchrun]

burroughs was an admitted mercenary...he did it for money and attention...as if a middle of the road pretentious band like U2 (has anyone ever been offended or challenged by U2 music??) understands anything about his work.

[@dcmayo]

This DVD is a huge ripoff and the menus don't work right, btw.

[@soulkiss1001]

me being in contact with you doesnt elevate yourself-log on to equip.org

[@dewexdewex]

@signoguns in pieces, preferably.

[@harleygough]

I agree. Bono is deluded in thinking he is somewhat connected with literary greats. Have you seen him read Bukowski's Roll The Dice? What a joke.

[@coffeefish]

Dope heads are not cool, Jimmy.

[@sonofdamocles]

wut the shit?

[@dcmayo]

This is the best thing he's done since "Howl"

[@pimpbisquick7036]

There's a recording of William S. Burroughs reading Howl By Allen Ginsberg? I just looked online and couldn't find it. Do you have any idea how to find it?

[@Gefilta]

He does actually try to quote Howl in Burroughs The Movie with Ginsberg standing on the roof of a building

[@k.t.5405]

Holy sht dude! Is this the OLDEST comments on KZbin?

[@standards11]

I like the writing of Burroughs as much as anyone, but I don't think anyone whose read anything about him can call him a 'good' person. I mean, this is a guy who shot his wife in the head in a drunken game of William Tell and never faced jail time.
