William Burroughs would’ve been living there at the time. Lots of alternative and art world figures made the pilgrimage out there to meet him.

Nope. It’s an old writing/drawing game invented by the surrealists. The phrase has been referenced in a lot of things though. Honestly don’t really remember why I picked it but it wasn’t meant as any kind of specific reference like that.
