Thanksgiving Prayers By William S. Burroughs & Johnny Cash

What better way to give thanks then to listen to the unpatriotic and sardonic musings of good ol’ decrepit William Burroughs (RIP). This is one of our faves.

Another classic. Johnny Cash sings a “Thanksgiving Prayer” on an episode of “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.” How amazing is this? You can totally see Jane Seymour swooning.

More cinematically, take a look a scene from “Charlie Chaplin’s Thanksgiving Meal” and douchebag Eli Roth’s “Grindhouse” faux trailer for “Thanksgiving.” Note everyone’s off, and online content will be scarce, but we should still be posting during the holiday weekend.
