Ozzy When Are You Going To Let Darkness Out Of Your Basement?

He let him out yesterday long enough to work on the roof...
 
BWaaaahahahahahaha -- Ozzy got that pretty boy all locked up in his mancave/sexchamber .....Excellent theory ,...
 
I feel helpless. Cold and dark. Just the distant metal clanging of whatever oZzy hurt his arm beating off with. I can't find me
 
Steely Dan maybe? Literary reference not musical for the ignorant. Google it if you don't understand.
 
Aside from the numerous recordings and album releases that Burroughs directly participated in (one of our favorites is “Sharkey’s Night” on Laurie Anderson’s Mister Heartbreak), Burroughs is constantly referenced by bands, who seem to think of him particularly often when deciding on names. As critic Spencer Kansa put it, “his cosmic yobs, hipster jargon, drug induced visions and novel titles have been inspiration to a slew of bands and films.”

For instance, Steely Dan is named after a dildo in Naked Lunch (“Mary is strapping on a rubber penis: ‘Steely Dan III from Yokohama,’ she says, caressing the shaft.”), and that book also inspired the band names of Thin White Rope (how Burroughs describes semen in the novel), The Mugwumps and The Insect Trust.

Clem Snide is a recurring character throughout Burroughs’s works.

Soft Machine took their name from Burroughs’s novel The Soft Machine as did Dead Fingers Talk, and more than one band has riffed off the title Nova Express.


Taken from William Burroughs' influence on pop culture.
