The Black Rider (play, dir. Wilson, 1990), Tom Waits and Others [228/F11]
b'
Our final discussion around The Black Rider continues from last week, as Martin and Sam get Burroughs quotes wrong (\\u201cDo what you will, that is the whole of the law\\u201d obviously being an Alistair Crowley quote, you idiot Sam, how did you miss that?!?), talk about the problematic autobiographical elements of the story, and what the lack of subtlety in this play means. Thanks for sticking with us through this very complicated season 15, and we\\u2019ll be back in the New Year with some... more accessible music.
