Did the list of names above scroll by too fast on your screen. Pick one of
them and begin.
For instance, lets try William Burroughs.
If you dont want him or the ones listed how about Lenny Bruce, though if
your not up on Richard Pryor Im guesing your not up on Bruce.
Id say go check out NWA but i dont want you hurting anything:)-
