Burroughs performed as Hassan Sabbah? Yes, he really was crazy. I saw him once at a book signing in North Beach (SanFran) at City Lights, the bookstore founded by Ferlinghetti, another far-out far-left radical whose best buddy Alan Ginsburg was a big supporter (founding member?)of NAMBLA, North American Man-Boy Love Association. So kiddie porn was just a step away,if that, from Burroughs...and I've often wondered whether some kid porn creep murdered JonBenet.
Burroughs was extremely bizarre, almost demonic, but the North Beach crowd practically genuflected before him.
So, yes, this group is REALLY CRAZY and also prone to dramatic metaphore.
Thank you. Once people have seen it close up, they know what I am talking about. These are really crazy people.
Lee Hill writes about his relationship with Burroughs.
Hill claims to have met him when he was very young.
I read Hill talk about it on the Internet.
Burroughs made a record--which I bought for research purposes--where he pretends to be Hassan Sabbah. He basically does this fatwa against America. This is way before we ever heard of Osama.
Burroughs spent time in N. Africa after he accidently shot his wife in the middle of her forehead and fled Mexico probably after paying off some official.
He picked up a lot of that radical left Arab nationalism over there. I think he also picked up young boys and smoked a lot of dope, too.
He was a heroin addict.
