Brand Heroes

Filed Under Memories + Dreams | September 20, 2005

Taking a suggestion from Tim, here are some “brand heroes” that exemplify the enemies.com “brand”: 

Wilhelm Reich
Marquis De Sade
WS Burroughs
Georges Bataille
William Blake

Not sure what they all have in common, besides being stubborn motherfuckers. 3 spent time in prison. Two were sodomites. One was an inveterate “john.”

Walked the walked, talked the talk, and paid the price. Was it worth it? Yes.

Now that I think about it, I could imagine any one of these guys being imprisoned, promising to stop whatever it was that he had been doing, and then starting up again the second he was released.

I admire that imp of the perverse in human nature, the impulse that makes people want to gleefully persist in doing whatever they are pasisonate about, damn the consequences.
