Yeah you pull that quote out every time there is a discussion about Punk music. Let's put it into perspective though you talking about a guy who danced the Charlseton, was a groovy writer for Beatniks commenting about underground music scene in his retirement years. But seriously when did he say that - before or after the year Punk broke?

I think I've quoted it one other time, that's hardly "every time there is a discussion about Punk music" (and Burroughs was bit young to be dancing the Charleston by the way). I believe it was a comment he made in the 70s or 80s with regards to the style of music, but honestly, who gives a shit? It's just a humorous remark.

I once knew an older gent who said the same. He told me that in his youth, a punk was a term for a jailhouse sissy who took it up the ass.
