On what planet? The guy sucked. Seriously. Only decent thing he wrote was Junkie. Everything else was a garbage fire. Naked Lunch? Worst crap ever. Seriously. Wake up. Stop pretending.

Do a search for Saucy Magazines Checklist and you will get an old site that indexed tons of vintage men’s mags and provided images. There are some real gems on there that I never heard of. It is a fun site.

Looking for more information of these type Playboy imitators if anyone knows a good source–human or book. I would appreciate it!

Bukowski might have its merits, but Burroughs is many levels above him

I’ve been trying to get my hands on those Bukowski stories. Didn’t know about Kerouac’s column. I’ll add that to the list. I’ll skip Burroughs. He never really did it for me. Only think he ever wrote that I like was Junkie. Tried to read some of his other stuff, but wasn’t feeling it. The guy tried to hard.
