  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 Alien 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.
