not all of them. just the ones with van dyke beards, tea shades, berets and black pullovers, playing bongos and reciting "tone poetry" to a crowd of hipsters, man.
if you tried to beat Burroughs (if he was still alive), he might shoot you for lumping him in with those patchouli-stenching hippies.

no. i admire Burroughs and i hate to see him associated with twits like Kerouac. Old Bill was on a completely different level.
"Is there anyone in this room who has never said to himself, 'My God, I acted like an absolute shit.' If so, let him stand forth, and we will acclaim a latter day saint. Don't anyone look at me."
-- William S. Burroughs

my dad thinks Bill O' Reilly's and Ann Coulter's ghost writers are the best writers ever, if that makes you feel any better.
