Burroughs?

[Paul Mackin]

well, I can't document this or nothing but it's my impression that a lot 
of stuff you see in the media and the like originates from wikipedia 
articles, which would be ok except for the fact that such articles are 
sometimes puff pieces on the subject written by fans.

being admired by or even having influenced  P  is a further honor to be 
heaped upon   the subject.

just throwing this out for discussion, not saying P DIDN'T like B.

P
