"A collaboration with musicians Nick Cave and Tom Waits resulted in a collection of short prose, Smack My Crack, later released as a spoken word album in 1987."
My understanding is Smack My Crack is a compilation, assembled by Giorno Poetry Systems, meant to explore the relationship between poetry & "outsider" music. Burroughs, Cave, and Waits all appear on the album - but so do the Butthole Surfers, Swans, and various others. The present description presents Smack My Crack as a Cave/Waits-backed vehicle for Burroughs' spoken word, which it clearly isn't. Blind Donkey (talk) 21:52, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
