Kurt Cobain and William Burroughs.
October 1993.
Lawrence, Kansas.
“During this first week of the tour, Alex MacLeod drove Kurt to Lawrence, Kansas, to meet William S. Burroughs. The previous year Kurt had produced a single with Burroughs titled The “Priest” They Called Him, on T/K Records, but they’d accomplished the recording by sending tapes back and forth. “Meeting William was a real big deal for him,” MacLeod remembered.
“It was something he never thought would happen.” They chatted for several hours, but Burroughs later claimed the subject of drugs didn’t come up. As Kurt drove away, Burroughs remarked to his assistant. “There’s something wrong with that boy; he frowns for no good reason.”
When Burroughs was asked about Meeting Cobain, he had this to say:
“I waited and Kurt got out with another man. Cobain was very shy, very polite, and obviously enjoyed the fact that I wasn’t awestruck at meeting him. There was something about him, fragile and engagingly lost. He smoked cigarettes but didn’t drink. There were no drugs. I never showed him my gun collection.” The two exchanged presents — Burroughs gave him a painting, while Cobain gave him a Leadbelly biography that he had signed. Kurt and music video director Kevin Kerslake originally wanted Burroughs to appear in the video for “Heart-Shaped Box.”

ok so i went into like a very active train of thought upon seeing ellen degeneres's face on a title on hbomax (some docuseries about saving gorillas i guess but honestly it looked like a whhhhacky comedy where the gorilla was the crossed arms "oh YOU" friend) that ended up in me looking up baby name statictics on the ssa site and i am losing my MIND that since elliot page came out as elliot the name "Elliot" is literally the most popular it's ever been (in a way that matches with how it was trending before elliot came out and not by a huge margin like... well we'll get to it) whereas the name "ellen" has dropped to the lowest popularity it's ever been at and dropped in rank by the largest margin compared to previous drops (2nd highest was when it dropped 101 ranks between '96 and '97) that's fucking hilarious, his dead name is so dead nobody is even naming anyone that anymore
like literally
ellen has become such an unpopular name that it didn't even rank in 2022, god what a power to be able to completely eviscerate your deadname like that
