So I watched the PBS version. Probably shorter than a dvd release. And censored (bad words). Patti Smith, Iggy, others talking their talk about him. It was all right, not great, sort of continues this long struggle I've had with him. Close to 20 years ago I read Naked Lunch. Around the time of the movie release. Somebody said they admired me for doing that. And that's about all I remember of the book.
I'll keep the documentary. I put it on a disc along with the recent Lou Reed Berlin movie and another documentary of Elizabeth Smart (By Grand Central Station...).
Did my taxes. I owe two bucks. Two fucking dollars! Jesus, two hours of plugging in numbers and rechecking the calculations. All for the pleasure of paying out two bucks. Of course the day before I got a letter from Revenue Canada saying I'd screwed up last year and owed them another $100. Plus $4.56 interest. They were right. I wrote the two checks and mailed them in. Don't screw with the government because they have a bigger screw and a bigger door to slam your balls with.
