"Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg." A lovely show at NYU's
Grey Gallery. Ginsberg, Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Jack Kerouac, Paul Bowles.... Not exactly Click & Clack (
On the Road notwithstanding). So this photograph of Burroughs catches the eye. Ginsberg's caption reads "W.S. Burroughs at rest in the side-yard of his house looking at the sky, empty timeless Lawrence Kansas, May 28, 1991. But 'the car dates it' he noticed when he saw this snapshot."

It sure does. A mid-80s
Datsun B210, I'd say. In 1991, I was only a couple years parted from my own beloved B210 wagon (stolen and recovered three times within one year). Nice to think that Bill Burroughs and I had similar tastes. In something.
