Random Life

William S. Burroughs photographed with mystery man "Woodard"

Thanks to Pitch music critic Jason Harper, who found this photo of Naked Lunch author and former Lawrence resident William S. Burroughs. Harper found the photo while cleaning out his office (we're moving from the third floor to the first floor). The photo was taken by Christina Buckingham in November 1996, nine months before Burroughs' death. Not sure where the photo was taken or who the other guy in the photo is. On the back of the photo, he's identified simply as "Woodard." Anybody know who Woodard is or what this occasion was? -- Justin Kendall

David Woodard in photo with Burroughs, at his last museum exhibition opening in Lawrence. Quite a tale, but can't elaborate now.

I am pretty sure it�s Tim Curry in his Rooster Hannigan costume. Burnadette Peters must be just off camera to the right and Billy Burroughs is eyeballing her cones.
