whoa.. you sure this is true? - wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu "i know it's only his body & all that's in the cemetary, & his soul's in heaven and all that crap, but i couldn't stand it anyway. i just wish he wasn't there. you didn't know him. if you'd known him, you'd know what i mean. it's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out." - holden caulfield

Mourn not for Bill Lee, he lived a hundreed lifetimes in 83 years. Take another look at Exterminator or The Wild Boys then open a newspaper or watch the news - Burroughs is as alive at this moment as he's ever been and I expect his life to be that much greater tomorrow. If there is any among us that deserves a long rest after a days work well done it is him. Sleep well Bill, you've earned it... _____ / ,-,_) /,_) (/ ReSH Live & Direct from the G-Spot, Orange County, California, USA http://www1.linkonline.net/fresh/

I for one am not buying this rumor. I have seen nothing on the news, and I watch the news. When Ginsberg died it was all over the media, and I expect no less for Mr. B. Charlie James

I posted an url last night to msnbc.com AP article... It was nicely done... also, it has been on all the news channels here. Unfortunately, it is true. If there has been one external influence that has changed my life more than any other, it was WSB... every subculture I ever fell into, he had touched it with his mad little finger. The man was everywhere. I guess he will remain everywhere... people will him just can't be removed... __________________________________________ brap@sonic.net *** sfwd@sonic.net http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ DOT.info.station the.hardcore.outdated.GPO.page c.Gosselin, POBox8264, Santa Rosa, CA 95407

Well, I'll be goddamned. May he rest in peace. Long live Mr.B. Charlie

I got *married* on the 2nd. Talk about a way to remember your anniversary. Anyone know what the time of death was? I hope not 12:30 pm... equally overjoyed and sad, sr -- sd
