In 1993, William S. Burroughs recorded a Christmas-themed record with Nirvana's Kurt Cobain. They titled it 'The 'Priest' They Called Him,' and had Burroughs telling the story of a heroin addict trying to score on Christmas Eve, set to Cobain's feedback-drenched, 'Silent Night'-inspired soundtrack.
The record will never be a holiday classic, but for fans it's an intriguing collaboration between two immensely talented junkies.
