19. William S. Burroughs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Burroughs

excerpt:

Burroughs is often called one of the greatest and most influential writers of the 20th century; others, however, consider him overrated. Others still consider his conceptual ideas more influential than his prose.

His influence, however, on the literary landscape was undeniable, and he continues to be named as an influence by contemporary fiction writers like William Gibson. He remains controversial because of his homosexuality, drug use, and the often criticized obscene and misogynistic tone of his works, though it should be noted that Burroughs' ideas about and attitudes towards women gradually became more friendly as he aged. Burroughs was regarded as being extremely intelligent and a generally quiet person.

Burroughs' works continue to be referenced years after his death. For example, a November 2004 episode of the TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation included reference to an evil character named Dr. Benway (named for an amoral physician who appears in a number of Burroughs' works). Similarly, in the hospital scene in the movie Repo Man both Dr. Benway and Mr. Lee (a Burroughs pen name) are paged.

Other significant cultural figures and institutions directly influenced by the work and life of Burroughs include:

Brion Gysin
Genesis P-Orridge
Keith Haring
Jean-Michel Basquiat
Martin Amis
Bono
Steely Dan
Kurt Cobain
Wired Magazine
Will Self
The Libertines
Soft Machine
Laurie Anderson
Church of the SubGenius
Broadcast
Cyberpunk
Splatterpunk

21. your sense of humor can be a bit acidic at times (that's not necessarily

a bad thing - it's just an observation), but your mind is amazing. I appreciate you more every time I see you post :)

[swag]

29. Thanks for the frank comments along with the very kind thoughts.

I appreciate our burgeoning electronic friendship, JJ.

See you around some more corners.

[bridgit]

22. "You know how Americans are, Kiki...

"They all love to travel, and then they only want to meet other Americans and talk about how hard it is to get a decent hamburger."

[swag]

26. "Those Americans,

they are so full with money, it is your duty to take it from them."

[swag]

25. Sad, maybe, that Bono, Steely Dan, and Kurt Cobain are included

but that Mark E. Smith, Kathy Acker, Jim Jarmusch, Gus Van Sant, John Waters, Charles Bukowski, Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, and Hunter Thompson (to name a few worthies) are left out.

[ghostsofgiants]

55. Ahh, cool

I'm vaguely familiar with The Naked Lunch, though mostly because of the film.

[CubsFan1982]

11. I love your avatar.

Who is it again? Kidding, kidding! Please don't eat me.

[JimmyJazz]

12. I miss Peter Jennings. I am so sorry that he left us so young.

:cry:

[CubsFan1982]

15. I think I'm going to keep him around for a while.

He was a big part of my life growing up, and short of donating money to causes, this is one of the best ways I can think of to honor him.

[yvr girl]

17. I see Joe Strummer and I think JimmyJazz

'nough said.

[JimmyJazz]

18. I love you.

'nuff said. :D

[NashVegas]

20. All Kneel Before Me

:)

[JimmyJazz]

32. Who is that?

[ghostsofgiants]

81. That is Bat Boy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_Boy

[Book Lover]

33. I love BatBoy!

Or shall I come to fear him ... in time ?

[NashVegas]

35. No. Love BatBoy

You may lick your monitor now.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

42. Batboy is lovable but the Gnu is HORNY! (nt)

[miss_kitty]

23. You KNOW how I feel about Joe

:P

Sammy will disappear is a few weeks. My star will vanish :(

[JimmyJazz]

27. No. It won't.

:) I'll always have your back, Miss_Kitty. Always. :D We can't let one the cutest avatars on DU vanish, now can we?

[miss_kitty]

43. Awww

Thanks my friend. I was going to quit posting when that happened. I just like to see her face.

[merh]

24. What about my avatar?

:shrug:


:+

[JimmyJazz]

31. I love Elvis. I grew up listening to Elvis. He paved the way for a lot

of "white" artists to expand their horizons and do music that was traditionally thought of as "black." I admire and respect the man and I feel badly that he lived his life in such a fishbowl. :(

[merh]

39. Oh sure, be nice and make me feel bad for giving you a hard

time! Just like you to use some damn kindness, reverse psychology tactic to mess with my already confused and bewildered mind! x(











Your avatar is nice too, I reckon!
:-(






:pals:

[JimmyJazz]

49. this is the entire photo from my avatar. *drool*

[merh]

57. Got drool?

:pals:

[FuzzySlippers]

28. That's a great pic of you, JJ!!

:o

[sundog]

30. it is! but she has her hair all tucked in!

:P

[FuzzySlippers]

34. I'd like to admire your avatar

but I don't know :wtf: it is.

[JimmyJazz]

36. I love your bunny with the pancake on it's head....is there a message

in that? :shrug:

[FuzzySlippers]

40. No. But it sure is cute, doncha think?.

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

84. I'm almost embarassed to admit I know this, but...

The rabbit's name was Oolong and that's not actually a pancake. That is a dorayaki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oolong_(rabbit) (copy and past entire url)

I lead a very sad existence for knowing this.

[sundog]

37. great, cause i don't know what yours is either

:wtf:

:grouphug:

[FuzzySlippers]

44. See #36.

*muttering* Dimwit.

:P

[sundog]

46. all i see is a blur

:P

here is the full version of mine... i want to live here one day:

[swag]

45. Hi, Fuzzy, Chamber Music Buddy

never mind, message body deleted, i misunderstood.

Hi, Fuzzyslippers!

Dearfoams?

[FuzzySlippers]

48. I know. I'm just being obnoxious.

:D Thanks for the link, though.

[swag]

50. Sure. I'm just being stupid.

Any time, though.

[In_The_Wind]

38. Hi JJ

[JimmyJazz]

41. ha ha ha ha - But this thread is about avatars, not sig lines!

And yes, your avatar is one of the cutest on DU :D

[In_The_Wind]

51. thanks sweetie

I just couldn't resist ... ... adding

[Left Is Write]

47. My goodness, JJ! I've always liked your avatar.

I also like when people stick with the same avatar without frequent changes. Helps me "identify" them at a glance.

[JimmyJazz]

53. Well, Love Bunny, don't you have the sweetest smile EVAH!

I know what you mean, though. I identify people by their avatars and I get confused when they switch them around. You've had yours for a while now, too :D

[Bunny]

52. Well, I like everyone's avatar.

Can I join the club? :D

[JimmyJazz]

54. Isn't it time for you to post a picture of your shoe?

Plus, can I just tell you that your current avatar makes me feel like I'm being watched? :D

[Bunny]

56. Ha! I'll have to get a pic of my summer shoes, before the season

is over!

Yeah, that eye is pretty creepy, but it's even worse for me. I have to see it in the mirror every morning! :7

[CaliforniaPeggy]

60. I love your avatar my dear JJ....and there are lots of other cool

ones around as well....

Mine is just plain old California! And I plan on always keeping it that way......

I'm just plain old CaliforniaPeggy....plain vanilla....

:cry:

[JimmyJazz]

64. Sweetums - there is NOTHING plain about you.

:party: Nothing at all :D

[flamingyouth]

61. You know mine!

:D

[JimmyJazz]

65. I'm still waiting for the tee-shirt pic. Until then.....

:P

[flamingyouth]

68. Oh, he has the shirt, and I'll post a pic one of these days.

We got somewhat sidetracked by the accident. :eyes:

[jpgray]

62. I'd rather screw a cactus than join the ranks of pretentious "Avvies"

Avatars are for the weak-minded.

[JimmyJazz]

67. I concur. BTW - who's in your avatar?

:o

[LynneSin]

66. Bah Joe Strummer - give me Robert Plant

:loveya:

[JimmyJazz]

71. What LynneSin meant to post after that:

[ScreamingMeemie]

69. I wish my eyes were better....

...some avatars just look like blobs to me...
...but I love you all anyway. :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

73. mine isn't very obvious, but I know who it is

:-) When are you changing to a panda in your avatar?

[AussieDave]

70. Mine is supposed to be a Scottish Terrier

but I'm looking for a better representation of one. Feisty, loyal little dogs with cat personality - they ignore you when they feel like it - but that happens when you spoil them......

[crispini]

72. He's a cutie!

I knew what he was!

[Merrick]

75. can you tell what mine is?

[JimmyJazz]

76. sorta: bush is a puppet and rove is a ventriloquist.

[Merrick]

80. actually Cheney's the ventriloquist

made the original myself - it just gets a bit squished by the size restriction. oh well.

[Dastard Stepchild]

77. Ohhh... I'm a big fan of avatars...

They are like a tiny little window into the soul. :)

And, as you most very well know, Joe Strummer rocks.

[JimmyJazz]

78. Who is Joe Strummer?

:P

[Dastard Stepchild]

79. he's, like, this guy...

I think he's in a band. The Crush? Yeah...The Crush. They have that song. You know... always on the radio. "Should I Spray or Should I Blow?" Totally rocks!!!!!!

:headbang:

[JimmyJazz]

82. Oh yeah --- now I know who you mean....

They sang, Rock the CatBox, too. :D

[Dastard Stepchild]

86. d'oh... that's the other one!

awesome!

[dolo amber]

83. I dig my avatar

I guess that's an avatar autoadmiration society, but... :shrug:

:D

[JimmyJazz]

85. Hi, Puddin' Pop! How the hell are you? I've missed you terribly!

How was your date? :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

87. I love yours, but that goes without saying.

:P

[Lisa0825]

88. I know I am not follwing directions, but....

I love the panda in your siggy! :loveya:

[Beware the Beast Man]

90. I guess it's time to trot out the old green gorilla, one more time...

Rememeber, football season starts soon, so I have to change it to the obligatory Steelers logo...

[NMMNG]

91. What the heck, I'm in

[billyskank]

92. Have I ever told you how much I admire your avatar?

:)
