MORGAN: For many contemporary rock critics and musicians, William Burroughs is rock 'n' roll. Do you feel the same affinity for rock 'n' roll that rock 'n' roll obviously feels for you?
BURROUGHS: Well, yeah. (laughs) I have given them a lot of titles: The Heavy Metal Kids, The Insect Trust, The Soft Machine...there are a couple of others.
MORGAN: Can you see the intersection point between your works and rock 'n' roll?
BURROUGHS: Well, I think that, in a way, we're both--I mean, of course, they're operating much more in a mass area, but the ideas are similar. Some of the content is similar: the drugs, et cetera. There are a number of places where we overlap.
MORGAN: Is there any advice you'd like to give to young writers?
BURROUGHS: I have an exercise I learned from a Mafia Don in Ohio: see everybody on the street before they see you. It's quite interesting actually because, if you see everyone before they see you, they won't see you.
And then you'll find that somebody beat you.
