...were further along in their alcohol- and drug-dependency than he was (Hill sketches Southern as a functional "user" whose biggest weaknesses were drink and Dexamyl - used to complete manuscripts on short deadlines): William Burroughs and a far-gone Dennis Hopper on an adaptation of Burroughs' "Junky"; Larry Flynt and Hopper on a biopic of Jim Morrison; singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, another "grand" soul, on the aforementioned "Telephone...
...pioneering effort to eliminate the emptiness one feels listening to a gangsta-rap album without the accompanying visual stimulus of hard-core pornography, rapper SNOOP DOGG has teamed up with Hustler founder Larry Flynt to produce the first ever XXX movie with a completely original rap score. Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle features 11 original Snoop tracks and six new Snoop music videos, which serve as preludes to the rompin' sex scenes. Inexplicably, Snoop decided not to participate in those.

Everyone talks about the role of record labels like Time Warner in pumping out vile and violent music albums. Nobody talks about the fact that corporate America is heavily invested in the porn business--"the crazy aunt in the attic," as one AT&T mogul called it. Forget Larry Flynt or the low-rent types from Boogie Nights. When Americans turn on pornography, chances are their money is flowing into the pockets of mainstream companies like Time Warner, GM, AT&T, Marriott International, Hilton and countless others...
