What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity.

In this the legendary 1978 Nova Convention, we hear interviews with organizer/poet John Giorno, followed by the uncut Nova Convention panel discussion unheard for decades. Moderator Les Levine masterfully guides panelists William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary and Brion Gysin. Listen to them re-imagining science fiction and foreseeing a culture yet to come.
The Nova Convention was a three-day event, taking place in New York City on November 30, December 1 and December 2, 1978. Intended as a homage to William S. Burroughs, the “convention” included seminars, music performances, readings and more. Attending were an odd mixture of academics, publishers, writers, artists, punk rockers and counterculture disciples. The event had a small hitch. The organizers had announced Keith Richards’ attendance, which made the event a sellout. Richards’ last minute cancellation, however, gave the event an antagonistic oscillation between performer and audience.
The series was originally produced by Giorno Poetry Systems for WBAI radio. The 2013 restoration comes from John Giorno’s private tapes. The effort is to restore, as completely as possible, the entire three-day event for for broadcast by the Clocktower Gallery radio station: https://clocktower.org/show/nova-convention-1978-the-third-mind

Can't Buy a Thrill is the debut studio album by American rock band Steely Dan, released in November 1972, by ABC Records. It was written by band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, and recorded in August 1972 at the Village Recorder in Los Angeles with producer Gary Katz...
The title of the album is a reference to the opening line of the Bob Dylan song "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry".The album cover features a photomontage by Robert Lockart. It includes images of muscle-men and a line of prostitutes (standing in Rue du Gros-Horloge in Rouen, France),[citation needed] waiting for clients, which was chosen because of its relevance to the album title..
...Robert Christgau ... said he found the lyrics "oblique, even philosophical [...] as befit a band named after a dildo in a William Burroughs novel.. - Wikipedia

kurt cobain meets william burroughs
Kurt Cobain was…
…first exposed to Burroughs’ work in high school, it heavily influenced Cobain’s writing when he started enforcing the Beat writer’s “cut-up” method. First introduced to Burroughs by artist Brion Gysin and inspired by a similar technique used by Dadaists by the 1920s, the collage-like approach mixes words and phrases that are pieced together, often creating juxtaposing text or narratives.
“My lyrics are total cut-up,” said Cobain.”I take lines from different poems that I’ve written. I build on a theme if I can, but sometimes I can’t even come up with an idea of what the song is about.”
