Renowned rock biographer Stephen Davis unearths a long lost interview with William Burroughs which hasn't been reprinted since its inclusion in The Free Paper in 1974. Burroughs, notoriously ill-suited for interviews, was in rare form for Davis (especially after his 3rd whiskey and coke) and opens up to the young, idolizing Davis about (among other things) drugs, sex, religion, politics and counterculture.
William Burroughs/ Local Stop on the Nova Express also contains a brief overview of the life and work of Burroughs, and concludes with the infamous discussion he had with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, originally printed in Crawdaddy in 1975. In all, Local Stop...is a candid dive into the world of a writer not known for candor.
Writer/interviewer Stephen Davis known as "America's best rock biographer" has written best-selling books on Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, and many others. Here we see him as an enthusiastic youth interviewing one of the most famous writers of the time.
