The great Beat Generation experiments took place in Tangier, the Moroccan city where William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and the Moroccan painter Hamri taught Jack Kerouac, Timothy Leary, and Allen Ginsberg how to live outside the law.

Tangier was - from the 1930s to the 1960s - the "Interzone" of Burroughs' fiction. Artists and musicians associated with the Beat Generation (The Rolling Stones, Jean Genet, Ornette Coleman) rubbed shoulders with outsiders like Burroughs, Brion Gysin and Hamri.

The Here to Go Show (Dublin, 1992), documented in Destroy All Rational Thought, commemorated Burroughs and the Tangier Beat Scene. Destroy All Rational Thought features:

·One of the last interviews William Burroughs gave.
·Previously unseen vintage footage of Burroughs in his prime during the 50s and early 60s.

·The Master Musicians of Joujouka collaborating with avant garde Dublin musicians, veterans of the Tangier Beat Scene, and cutting edge writers.

·Music from Bill Laswell, The Baby Snakes, plus contributions from Ira Cohen, Hakim Bey, Joe Ambrose, Antony Balch, Phauss, Felicity Mason, Daniel Figgis, Frank Rynne, Terry Wilson, Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy), Ramuntcho Matta, and Agnes Bernelle.
