William S. Burroughs

I like William S. Burroughs for the same reason I like John Cage, because he was willing to think outside the box, to take something traditional and use it in an innovative way. Even though it was simple, to cut up writing and paste it together, it was considered unheard of, and we needed people like that to shake things up and pave the way for even more out of box ideas that just cut-and-paste.
