William Burroughs on the famous "flower in the rifle barrel" photograph

By Jack Brummet

William Burroughs had plenty to say when he saw this famous photograph from a Vietnam protest rally:


"...giving flowers to the cops just isn't going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flower pot from a high window. "
