Better Than Friday - 285 (Patreon)

Good evening ya'll, how's it shakin?

Working on the next reviews from out of town while catching up with family in Natchez MS.

Storm's rolling in. Just got the first big crack of lightning.

Among several other books, I'm reading the completely psychotic Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs and loving it.

Hope you're having a nice evening and enjoying what you're reading.

Very grateful for your support, thank you so much.

1. Book to read: The Cantos by Ezra Pound (Paid Link)

Seth aka @wastemailinglist recently recommended that I read Ezra Pound.

2. The origin of the line "It was a dark and stormy night".

Turns out it was from a novel called "Paul Clifford" by Edward Bulwer-Lyton, about a highwayman during the French Revolution. Interesting! Wonder if it's good.

3. William S. Burroughs hanging out with Francis Bacon

I enjoyed Burroughs telling Bacon about 'mummies'.

4. Fight Club with Tom Waits' 'Goin Out West'

It really is one of the best films. David Fincher really nailed it.

5. Robert Bellfour - Hill Stomp

Recently came across this Mississippi-born blues guitarist. Good storm music.

I've been told this house, on the edge of the cliff in Natchez facing the Mississippi, was once home to a woman who held seances.
