A different kind of Christmas story.It has become one of my favorites. Even a Junky can sometimes redeem himself. From my blog Gord’s Poetry Factory at gordspoetryfactory.blogspot.com & my website gordscafe at gordscafe.tripod.com

I’ve always loved Burroughs and this beautiful Christmas story. I first caught it on tele about 11 years ago. Happy Christmas everyone!

Oh, that Burroughs! He certainly is one of a kind… (Naked Lunch is probably the most mind-bending book ever written.)
…. And I can’t wait for Christmas!

I love it too, but it would never happen.

This is timeless stuff. Junkies never change. Even though this looks like it might be the 50’s…………. it might as well be today.

He even gave it to him. That is kindness.

i can HONESTLY say that Burroughs is probably 40-50% the reason I finally got around to scoring smack and eventually getting good and hooked. I tried twice to visit him in Lawrence Kansas but was never able to find his house! One of the times I had just missed him doing a live reading from his latest book “my education- a book of dreams’ at one of the alternative-type of bookstores in downtown Lawrence! Even though the guy knew where he lived he would not tell me & I came from Vancouver BC!

thats a bad idea dude. i believe in freedom and not that bullshit freedom that ppl always spout but real freedom to do watcha want as long as you aint impacting on someone else. but getting hooked is a bad idea specificly cuz it isnt freedom. you just have another thing you need. and needing is a type of servitude. but its all our choice right?

Subversive as this is, it remains strangely touching. It’s hard for someone who’s never experienced junk sickness to understand what a sacrifice that would be.
badsign1980 / October 7, 2009 1:04 pm
i was junkye before ever hearing about w.b. im reading junk, the fact that a person can describe every synthom of junk sickness there is no nothing that feels like it… hell, its feeling death and not dying

I’m sure that’s exactly what he wanted…to inspire drug addiction and have addicts show up at his door to discuss it with him.
