Hey Caveman - you've been dead-on it most of your posts. Why do you feel this article is poorly written?

It reminds me of the straight-forward, crisp style of JUNKY by William Burroughs - who though not popularly known (similar to Jean-Luc Goddard in the cinema) - is an incredibly influential figure in American literature and movies. Movies like BLADERUNNER or books like William Gibson's NEUROMANCER (upon which THE MATRIX is loosely based) would never have been done, if William Burroughs hadn't opened up the territory. In his own way, Bill Landis is doing this again for the world of chronic suffering and relief. OK enough lecture - take care.
