With enough funk to make Shaft look passé, Eddie ..."

Not referring to clinical schizophrenia, but to the fact that the culture is divided up into all sorts of classes and groups, etc., and that some of the old lines are breaking down. And that this is a healthy sign. -- William Burroughs, from Schizo-CultureThe legendary 1975 "Schizo-Cultur ..."
