Thanksgiving

I know we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving or show a lot of gratitude around here in general (we just say ’sorry’ a lot) but the most recurring video for this year’s celebration is William S. Burroughs – A Thanksgiving Prayer. I’d embed it for general viewing but Universal Music Group say ‘no’ to these kinds of interwebs practices.

Before you get too excited about his angry, bitter irony and think ‘how true’ and pass it on to a friend, a quick note: Burroughs was a drug addict. But then again so was Sherlock Holmes. And half of the United States on anti-depressants. Understanable.

And as Vidal Gore said, the gap between what America thinks it is and what it actually is has become too great to be bridged. Or who knows. Maybe there will be something to be thankful for soon enough!
