Sopranos Voice-over
Last night's strange voice-over on The Sopranos was the freakiest Beat writer of them all, William S. Burroughs, reading an excerpt from his book, The Western Lands. Here's a link to the passage from which he read.
I don't know. That's a good question though, because Burroughs did do a bunch of stuff with Laurie Anderson.
If I had to guess, I'd say that the excerpt came from a recording Burroughs made in the early 1990s called "Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales." The background music for that recording was provided by The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.
Anybody have a better idea where the Burroughs track came from?
Hey Hornless:
