Was " The Knowledge " A Misunderstood Genius ?

I'm thinking specifically " Death By Sunrise. "

I'm less familiar with his more, er, " avant garde " work.

But I do think it's time to reopen the debate.

I mean Burroughs, let's face it, gets a fair shake these days, as does Lawrence, Alexander Trocchi, Hubert Selby etc, as does in fact the Marquis De Sade. Perhaps The Knodge's material, in much the same way, is just about due for a re-evalution.

I suppose it could go either way.

But what does anyone think ?

Very dangerous ground... and, I'd say, unwise right now...

There are threads in P&H that can answer your question.

w#ll I've been through the threads, they didn't seem all that bad.

I just feel a bit defensive now.

So...

WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE KIND OF WELL FUCKING FUCK OFF ? YOU'RE ALL FUCKING ASLEEP ! YOU CUNTS ! TIME MACHINE... G-G-G-GO !

RUNARAHND.... NAH !

I AM SPECIAL

FUCKING WAKE UP I'VE GOT KRISHNA AND VISHNA AND KALI AND ZEUS, AND THEY'VE ALL DECIDED TO VISIT MY HOME ( NOT YOURS, MINE ! )
And PADDINGTON BLOODY BEAR, with his fog, his amphetamines and his duffel coat, scarf.

" Paddington fixed them with a HARD stare. "

And then got into a fight, the silly bastard, with a marmalade sandwich tucked into his hat, had to stumble on by past those filthy old breweries, off George street, Princes street, off the Dalry road, scottish people are scum.

So i see him down Leith, Paddington these days, tring to work his way home.

in his eyes, he knows.

Alex, this really is a bad idea.

Well yes, but SW, whenever I feel lonely, or can't sleep, I just tap into some of " the knodge's " old threads, depleted though they are, and by and large feel better. Let's face it, he was/is the Al Green of being a clown.

Ummm... having spent the past few hours bumping threads to drop this one lower, I can't resist saying... (and apologies to everyone for this, but I can't resist saying it anymore)

not the Al Green of being a clown. The absolute Elvis of prickdom. The Ayatollah of assahola. The god of gimp. The dauphin of dickhead. Smoothly's right. And the answer to your title, as the answer to so many Daily Mail two-page spread questions, is an emphatic NO.

Or to put it better... was he FUCK.

He might have been a comedy genius, though.

No, he was an untalented plagerist with behavioral problems.

No, which is why I've put in a request for this thread to be locked. Nothing to see here, go check the Policy archives if you have any further questions.

Well it's a good thing you're not overeacting or anything, is this thread really that worrying?
