Pure trash.

Ashe'

This gentleman is an absolute genius. A spiritual and literary shaman. I bow to thee. Please write me a script, Dr Burroughs

Burroughs never let anyone from the outside world in too deep. This guy had no chance.

I thought the interviewer was very good, he obviously knew and understood Burroughs work. Burroughs had so much insight into the human condition, but I can't at all understand this compulsion to go into space. Wouldn't that be just transferring the problem elsewhere? I'm waiting for all of the billionaires and their slaves to go to Mars and then we can get back our Earth back.

the audience laughing at everything like he’s a standup comedian are such ldlots

Top Tune like a good old red wine. it's becoming a fantastic rare groove from the 90's. Don't sleep.

A little confusing, though -- his comments on space travel sound as if he's talking in the late 1950s or early '60s; we weren't going into space in "aqualungs" in the early 1980s!

"Christianity is one of the most virulent spiritual poisons ever administered to a disaster-prone planet!" Uh, Bill -- could you not be so reticent and tell us what you really think?

One of the most gifted readers of his own work that I've ever heard. If anyone ever needs a working definition of the term "sardonic," all they need to do is to listen to readings like the ones excerpted here.

Feeln' every note!💯🔥💯

Spirit music

This is just fantastic! Thanks for posting. The beginning sounds like Roger Waters getting interviewed about Burroughs eh?......;)

Younger viewer here - sorry but this Walters guys is so infuriatingly patronising and talks over Burroughs all the time. Such a shame that he doesn’t realise that his guest is the legend here and needs to be heard.

min 33:50 "The only place for us to go is into space (...) Its the only goal worth striving for : Space travel" 💯💯💯

Sweeet

I do love British radio

I never knew (or maybe had just forgotten) that he'd met Beckett. Christ, to have been a fly on the wall then...

"Do you like women?"....... yikes

Immersed

Even as he is considered one of America's best writers. On close reading, most of his earlier books, portray all women in such pathetic, weak and inconsequential roles, that it shows how patriarchal and hegemonic William Burroughs himself was...

Those pin-point pupils and the nasale voice..... didn't know this interview existed. thanks for the upload.

I think his voice is akin to Allen Watts.

One of the greatest tracks ever!!!

Voodoo KING.

A man I miss genius with a heart of gold

The interviewer seems to be trying to trick him up. It seems to be cultural thing, a British intrerviewer thing. It's a bit annoying, but it's still a pleasure to hear Burroughs chat.

Intense. Superb

Wasn't John Walters the radio producer who refused to allow John Peel to play Throbbing Gristle or Psychic TV?

21:30 When the actual WSB interview began.

15:15 That reading on "Do-rights" Bill did was probably one of my favorite passages of his. He was most famous for his surreal cut-ups, but I prefer his more down to earth and humorous observations on life.

Soo sweeet

I hate how the interviewer takes this "superior" stance when talking to William, asking questions with the "remember we are on national radio - we need to keep it civil" attitude. It makes William feel awkward and fumbles to answer each of his "correct" asked "out of the box" questions. He never feels he got a living human being next to him. There's no room for improvisation and digressions. That said, probably not a common occurence to have guests like William over to the BBC national radio. So kudos to him for chosing him as his guest.

nice one !!!

"Front office, brown-nose fink to the bone!" Nice XD

Anyone know who's singing Stardust at the end?

Jules I love you love siobhan mckenna

Where does he talk about Bob Dylan? I can't find it.

A young American's new UA-cam Channel begins with his take on Burroughs

I mean No offence here, but it clearly seems to me, that Burroughs is "literally" dancing circles around interviewer John Walters. Still a great show. Thanks so much for uploading this.

not only Burroughs, I always love to hear (Barry) Miles talk as well. thanks for sharing, Burroughs is and was my all-time hero

this was fascinating

Unfortunately, Walters was a victim of the over talking cocaine era.....

this journalist is really irritating with his stupid giggling at his own jokes or after asking a dumb question. Burroughs seems annoyed by this constant giggling. Also, his questions are boring and below WB's intellect/art level, even those about his life experience. His attitude is of some forced 'spontaneity' and fake intimacy with the guest. i don't see why people here praise him as "legendary", " brilliant ",i suppose the are just nostalgic.

Great ideas man with a prescient imagination. A writer who wasn't afraid to take his preoccupations and desires and the darkness in his soul to the very limits of intellectual and artistic exploration. Sex dwarves sucking spinal fluid through straws, fishboys smearing gel in rectums and Dr Benway opening up some poor unfortunate on the operating table as mystical Morrocan music wafts in from the nearby Nova Express cafe. All the shocking Burroughsian images seem almost nostalgic now. Creativity should have no limits. But in our present times the likes of Burroughs would be hung drawn and quartered by the creative police the moment he appeared. If the thought police in his own brain telling him what he could and couldn't say didn't get to him first..

Lovely!!!
