	== Smack My Crack ==

	"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. ] (]) 21:52, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

How does a man who attended Harvard at 18 drop out nearly ten years later to attempt to join the Navy and/or OSS? The intro needs a re-work.

Yes! Exactly! I read he dropped out on and off over the course of twenty years or so! Then I also read he spent the next twenty years as a drop out! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:554E:7801:CC2E:9B42:447D:EAF4 (talk) 06:58, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

If he was gay, why did he get married to his second wife, Joan? 2.28.151.246 (talk) 23:14, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

He had bi-sexual tendencies. Though he did prefer males over females.
