everyday is halloween!

 the high holiday is defined by the jack o'lantern.  once upon a time, in celtic culture, it was a turnip carved into the halloween tradition.  now, because of the 'new world' we carve into pumpkins for halloween.  & lo!  here is beat writer extraordinaire william s. burroughs posing with a jack o'lantern made from the hacks of the writer's hatchet!  i've posted this pic before.  because it is a killer image.  burroughs' was a visual artist as well as novelist & he would make his art often by the random sprays of gun shots.  here we have the writer/artist making the traditional halloween thing with an ax!  burroughs was sui generis.  & this pic of burroughs on the porch of his lawrence, ks, [my brother & teacher in the art, jim mccrary was burroughs' office manager for several years] house with his own kind of jack o'lantern!  i take a look at this pic i know it is SPOOKY SEASON!

boo!
