I love the fact that Burroughs was so elegant and cool (and growing old, looking more and more like some kind of quiet business man, a little bit like Marcel Duchamp) and at the same time probably the most daring and radical and underground writer of the magic super trio (my idols !! :) of the Beat generation : Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs :) Anyway this doc is priceless, so thank you so much ! :)

bro. this is really great! what an underrated channel we have here.

Monty python " do you want to come round to my house? Yeah alright

What you are going to get into space has yet to be discovered

Look at rick astley

Night of the iguana. The glass menagerie

It's the Avon lady

Disappeared up your arm😂

Burroughs - what a wonderful voice! Committed suicide in the Warhol diaries. Mind you, two of Bacon's boyfriends killed themselves

Presume they didn’t want to upset David Hockney if bacon said he hated him 😂

What a great documentary

It was genuinely nice to see a happy and functional family. Full of shared moments, reasonable reactions, and room to grow and share. Not TV-happy, not a forced family, or a broken family. Not just the people you go home to everyday, but the people you share your life with. Wonder how everybody is doing now from this family. Also, that is correct. A clean pussy is, in fact, a happy pussy.

A junky and a lush reminiscing Algiers, discussing art and asking 'do you know so-and-so'... the body language is inneresting and reminds me of many drunken convo's I've had with my favourite junky.x

I almost can't believe this is real.

"Accuracy, that last refuge of the unimaginative, doesn't matter a hoot."

Pioneers of the dark art..(now peaked and it's almost passe)..

He introduced himself as sf writer... surprising...

What's the name of the piece in the background?

I cant believe it. U L T I M A T E

these guys are not flaming they are on FIRE

A verb a noun and a car crash. A verb a noun and a shopping mall. A verb a noun and JFK, I love JG Ballard's elegant style, but I have to confess, his 'ideas' are banal. 'The suburbs dream of violence.' Lol, wtf does that even mean?

Both incredible iconic artists of the 20th century!

How fantastic. Now lets find one where Picasso and Dali chat. I imagine they would start with tea and end with a slap fight.

People used to be capable of the art of conversation.

Duchamp said something along the lines of "give me the man not the art " ... the mundane everyday things a great artist does is often much more interesting, like stirring a cup of tea .

first handed a copy of Atrocity Exhibition (as well as a copy of Trout Fishing in America) when fourteen... saved me from having mundane thinking patterns set in...

Please, never discontinue your work

Beautiful work but how do you manage to always upload videos on exactly the thinkers I am currently interested in.

The music's great

Dear Burroughs Fans, you might have missed that a new book about and with him was published. its called "soft need 23", and includes a lot of fresh material by him, his colleagues and friends! It turned out amazing, check it out.

It's now 2024. Country Club? Perhaps it came and went. Abstraction? Certainly. The very fact I'm watching this 40 years after it was filmed, in my own house, on my computer, has to mean something.

BRILLIANT! Thank you!

This is very insightful, have you read Taleb?

This channel deserves way more attention. The information is given in a sharp and understandable manner plus the visuals are engaging and aesthetically pleasing.

Big butch bill 😂nearly went down for being a whoopsy 😮❤

do you think they ever kissed ?

Whoever uploaded this you're a diamond. When I was an art student at the start of the 80s, our polytechnic library had a new betamax video machine and they had tapes of arts related programmes that you could watch in a little side room. The 2 videos I remember watching the most were both from bbcs Arena arts programme. One was called something like 8 days in September and was a documentary about the British abstract artist John Hoyland struggling with a new painting over a series of days intercut with comments and interviews and the other was a fantastic documentary about William Burroughs which is now in the Criterion collection. I remember the brief section in the documentary where Burroughs is in concersation with Bacon (both creators I liked and was interested in), it lasts maybe 90 seconds, and I remember thinking how much I would love to see the rest of the footage that must have been shot. Over the last few years bits and pieces have turned up on RUclips but stumbling across this in the early hours of this morning whilst, sleepless and full of a dreadful cold was such a treat. How rare it is to eavesdrop on to great artists chewing the fat and how much more interesting and candid are their remarks than what we will get in the majority of formal interviews that were conducted in their life time. As always with both of them there was much of interest but also at times very funny. So thanks again to the uploader a real treat and also quite touching..... Bacon seems genuinely fond of old Bill.

Bills voice,so fuckin cool,a true icon,you're never going to see men like these again...

I was fortunate enough to be an audio engineer on "Paul Bowles - Black Star At The Point Of Darkness" was interesting to hear him mentioned.

I am aware of Burroughs , but I've never heard of this edition of Francis Bacon. Hopefully someone can fill me in. Question : is Burroughs a homosexual ? I mean an admitted one.....big difference. Question : when was this filmed and where....Thanks in advance for any info......

Burroughs was a pedo.

They hold a conversation like a pair of old women waiting for a bus

Wow, Burroughs rarely stops moving during the entire interview. Beautiful taste in clothes.

I’d love to burrough some bacon right now

Fallen angels.

Burroughs was diverted in his attempts to give the punchline to his mummy routine: Immortality, in the Egyptian custom, cost a lot. It depended on a sound mummy. So you show up in the afterlife (The Western Lands) with a mummification you got on the cheap. You get refused entry to a restaurant there. The sign above the door says, "maggoty mummies will not be served in these premises"

Who are they talking about ?

In Naked Lunch Burroughs describes his interactions with a boy whom he has addicted to heroin so that he can take advantage of him sexually. He killed his wife in Mexico and used drunkenness as a defense getting himself off. He had an underground following of druggies and losers, and for my two cents he's filth.

Interesting 😊

It is interesting to listen to two geniuses in the field basically ramble and name-drop as much as any no names coming up in the theater, art or show business communities.
