William Burroughs Christmas thoughts

I post this because of its Art Historical and literary value. The Beatnicks, such as Wlliam Burroughs, revolutionized modern art in such a dramatic way that I feel its important that today's young artists learn about these authors.
This particular writing was completed about 1959 and the claymation feature in 1993. The old man in the movie is William Burroughs himself. This work is both controversial and timeless. It was banned by the State of MA, and it took a Supreme Court ruling in 1966 to decide that it was not obscene.
