Reviews
Maybe more rock stars romanticized his life and addiction than actually read his books, and some tried "to boost their own hipness through association," but Rae builds a convincing case that Burroughs has been underacknowledged in rock history. [Rae's book] nudges a legendary legacy from the cultural margins toward the mainstream., "Maybe more rock stars romanticized his life and addiction than actually read his books, and some tried "to boost their own hipness through association," but Rae builds a convincing case that Burroughs has been underacknowledged in rock history. [Rae's book] nudges a legendary legacy from the cultural margins toward the mainstream.", [A] fascinating new book...Rae is an engaging storyteller and often an enlightening one...I'm grateful for Rae's study and recommend it highly, not only to those (still) interested in Burroughs and rock music, but to anyone curious about the possibilities for creative synergy between the arts., [Rae] discerns that some pop artists were looking 'to boost their own hipness' by seeking an association with Burroughs. But he also asks what it was about the dark, peculiar, and never popular author that made the likes of Deborah Harry, Ricahrd Hell, and Nick Cave want to tie their names to his., [In William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll ] you can learn much more about Burroughs' major influence on rock and roll in the 60s, 70s, 80s., A strength of [ William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll ] is that [Rae] doesn't write from the perspective of a fan: none of the characters in these stories are idealized. Rather, it is their strangeness and their flawed human nature that are central to the narrative., Casey Rae has uncovered a vast, vast number of links between Burroughs and the music world, and he has put together an extraordinary book...will inform and delight anyone interested in the Beat icon., There's a brilliant idea behind Casey Rae's William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll , which is that if you simply follow Burroughs through the rock 'n' roll years you'll see him achieve a flickering ubiquity--lurking here, eavesdropping there, photobombing the whole parade. It becomes a kind of alternative history., A fundamentally comprehensive look at Burroughs' influence on the songs and culture of rock music...Written by a fan of the music and the work of the writer, the text provides a critical and informed analysis of both in a style that is both interesting and intellectually engaging., Casey Rae offers the most in-depth study yet of Burroughs' influence on and Zelig-like ubiquity within contemporary music., [A] rather excellent book...A passing knowledge of Burroughs' work, his obsessions, and his philosophy - and all are expertly explained by Rae - make the connections sought and made by these musicians easy to understand, for Burroughs' subversive life-long battle against the forces of control, using his art as his weapon, is the very stuff that rock n' roll claims to be made of., Rae meticulously details the connections [between Burroughs and arty rockers]...The book is at its best when tracing the lyric and sonic collages of art rock and its offshoots to Burroughs's groundbreaking use of literary cut-ups--the snipping and resassembling of texts to form new texts., [Rae] discerns that some pop artists were looking 'to boost their own hipness' by seeking an association with Burroughs. But he also asks what it was about the dark, peculiar, and never popular author that made the likes of Deborah Harry, Richard Hell, and Nick Cave want to tie their names to his., Rae offers thoughtful, generous analysis. As Burroughs's own cut-ups might, Rae renders a portrait of Burroughs's influence akin to a reflection in a disco ball: fragmented, refracted, multiple and beautiful., Melding personal reflections with scholarly research and interviews with those close to Burroughs, Rae has unearthed a trove of information sure to shake the foundation of even the most die-hard Burroughs junkie or rock fanatic., A fluid, wide-ranging biography of influence...Essential reading for fans of Burroughs, Bowie, Reed, or Smith., Rae's account is almost as fascinating as its subject, and reaches many points across a multi-dimensional reality from which Burroughs' ideas came and where they led., [Rae] writes with the passion of a teenager discovering new sounds, and the control and self-assuredness of a seasoned academic... William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll celebrates not only the gifted mind and bizarre life of a writer who changed literature forever with his magic and ideas; it also finally gives him the place he deserves in the pantheon of rock and roll., [Rae's] focus on Burroughs' inspiring connections to literary rock stars of exceptional talent and renown makes for a welcome addition to the Burroughs shelf., [ William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll ] evidences why some call Burroughs the godfather of punk, right next to Iggy Pop., Casey Rae tells the whole story of a heroin addict who refused to hide his homosexuality during a time of saccharine conformity writ large across the American cultural landscape., William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll is the rollercoaster and the wait all in one, patiently escorting you to the high points and still letting you enjoy the ride., Rae's account is compelling, capturing the strangeness of Burroughs's itinerant lifestyle, his bizarre obsessions (guns and the occult, mostly) and his Herculean appetite for drugs., Rae sees Burroughs as a figurehead for generations of self-fashioned outcasts, drawn to the author through his appeal to rock musicians and the scandalous allure of his life...Throughout, Rae maintains a steadfast adherence to the lure of the bohemian outsider...Rae's stories are engaging... William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll endorses Burroughs as perennial outlaw., There's a brilliant idea behind Casey Rae's William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll , which is that if you simply follow Burroughs through the rock 'n' roll years you'll see him achieve a flickering ubiquitylurking here, eavesdropping there, photobombing the whole parade. It becomes a kind of alternative history., I was consistently surprised and impressed by the wealth of information Rae had gathered for this book. William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll will no doubt enlighten and entertain its readers, even the ones who think that they know everything there is about El Hombre Invisible.
