6:02 pm
was loosely governed by the major powers, an international zone. for years, it seemed, everything was permitted, nothing was forbidd forbidden. at the northern tip of africa, a short ferry hop from spain, tangier was a magnet for writers, spies, and artists. if you were a bad boy of your time, you liked drugs, the kind of sex that was frowned upon at home and an affordable lifestyle set against an exotic background, tangier was for you. matisse, genest, william burroughs, many have come this way, staying a while or hanging around, but no one stayed longer or became more associated with tangier than the novelist and composer paul bowles.
6:03 pm
in works like "the sheltering sky" he created a romantic vision that persists today, a dream that's become almost inseparable in the minds of many from reality. i'm here to find that dream city. the place burroughs referred to as "enter zone." "interzone." tangier like i said was a city of ex-pats -- people with pasts, people who simply didn't like where they were and crave somewhere and something else. the grand socco is the gateway to the medina where you could find the cass into, which means
6:04 pm
fortress, by the way. the port is to the east, and right in the middle of it all, the petit socco, called the last spot, the meeting place, the switchboard of tangier. reasons for settling in tangier diverge, but everyone sooner or later, since the beginning of memory comes to cafe tingis. jonathan dawson came to this city 20 years ago as a journalist and never left. he lives a live not too distant from burroughs' fantasy. taking tea every day at 4:00 served by his manservant. he may not have a gazelle, but a pet rooster will do. he pax the rounds every day, seeing the old faces, ending up sooner or later here.
6:05 pm
>> this is the petit socco? >> yes. it existed in venetian times, roamen times, in the portuguese times, the english were here for 22 years, then the international city until 1956, now here. very historic square. very historic. >> as a writer, i've noticed everyone who comes here to do the article does the same article. >> so damn boring. they're all the beat generation and there are lots of other stories, but everyone likes the beats, bill burroughs, tennessee williams, they were all here, but that's a small part of moroccan history. that's a 15-year page. there was a life before that and a life after that. you're here. >> yeah. it was inevitable. let's pretend those guys never came. what is this place? >> the reality is, you can read the story and live it. people do come here and try to live it, about you they don't
6:06 pm
stay very long. they smoke a little dope, go to a cheap hotel and go home with bedbugs. >> and a great story. >> and a great story. >> the attitude here is different than other parts of morocco. they have a higher tolerance of tradition of bad or outrageous behavior. >> they have a high tolerance of mad people, you know? but moroccans essentially are very tolerant people. they quite like madness as well. they celebrate that a well. >> how moroccan is tangier. >> it's a moroccan city with a european outlook. you can see spain and gibraltar, but it's a very moroccan city. i'm 62 years old. i didn't know international days which finished in 1956, but at that time i think europeans may have outnumbered moroccans in the center of this city. not the case now, there's very few europeans actually living here full time. >> the notion of living a life
6:07 pm
apart, of being somewhere else, there are those who like that feeling. i like that feeling. then there are those who may live apart, may live somewhere else, but they're not entirely comfortable. it's the difference annoys them or is a burden. >> it did, and it frustrates them. some people have to leave home to find their home. i'm one of those people. whereas i didn't feel at home in the country i was born in at all. but here i feel okay. i feel very, very happy here. >> there is indeed something special about this place. burroughs described it as a maze of sunless twisting streets filled with blind alleys. its smell was particularly notable to him, including a mix of hashish, seared meat, and sewage.
6:08 pm
tangier before anything else is essentially a port city, with all the things that traditionally come with port cities. it's situated at the choke point between the atlantic ocean and the mediterranean sea. the moroccan coast is a rich fishing ground, and a lot of people make their living from the sea. on shore they use a method call senhal fishing, where weighted nets basically drag fish across the bottom of the sea. some of that fish, the good stuff, anyway, ends up here. the saveur de poisson, or restaurant populare or popeye's. the place has a lot of names, but locals and ex-pats alike saying this has the best tagine in town. the chef and owner sources a lot of his stuff and produce from

the greens in the mountains. the back room is dedicated to sorting and drying various herbs which he blends into a secret mix that he claims has all sorts of healthful and bonner-inspiring benefits. if every dish i told would make me strong, i would have a permanent pup tent going on down there, so i take all of that with a grain of salt. his son delivers the food. it all starts with fresh olives, and warm, very good bread. and you get this stuff. everybody gets it. a pulpy purree of figures, raisins, straw berries and full of mohammed's potent herbs and spices. >> all night, it cooks. >> yeah yeah, i get it it's

6:11 pm
tiny shark kabobs. cute. wow, spectacular. all of this for 20 bucks? good value. i thought we did a pretty good josh on mr. fish. that will teach you. >> units he's freaking me out. it's like that guy with, you know, you're tripping, and does this to you? for dessert, strawberries, pine nuts and honey. like the whole meal, it's eccentric and delicious. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> i haven't had so much fruits and nuts since altaban. i told, mick, this is a bad crowd. back of the shop, but he's like,

in tangier, i lived in one room in the native quarter. i have not taken a bath in a year nor changed my clothes or removed them, except to stick a needle every hour in the fibrous gray wood of flesh in terminal addiction. i never cleaned or dusted the room. empty ampoule boxes and garbage
6:16 pm
piled up to the ceiling. life and water long since turned off for nonpayment. i did absolutely nothing. i could look at the end of my shoes for eight hours. i was only roused to action when the hourglass of junk ran out. the words of william seward burroughs, one of my heroes. he came to tangier in 1983, shortly after shooting his wife to death in a drunken accident in mexico city. he was a heroin addict, a homosexual and a inspiration to those who became known as the beat. there was nothing beatnik about him. he was a somewhat stuffy, well-dressed st. louis son of a good family gone wrong. he was also to my mind the greatest writer of the whole damn bunch. on the road, you can have it.
6:17 pm
his classic "naked lunch" was written here. a nonlinear, dark, dry humored searly critical and satirical and profane masterpiece. burrows was apparently he for much of the process, on heroin, or locally valuable opiate. and the daily staple in many of these parts. hashish. haish is the concentrated thc resin of the cab abyss plant as well as the leaves and flowers that have been compressed into sheet or brick-like form. keif is the part of the plant containing only the strongest concentration of psychoactive ingredients. majune is a confection made from keef, fruits, nuts, chocolate and honey. i was, of course, fascinated by
6:18 pm
this product since reading about it, and inquired of some local contacts, who shall necessarily go unnamed. how is it made? this is what i wanted to know. they were kind enough to demonstrate. it's first chopped into fine granules and slowly added to butter and chocolate over a low heat to toast it and release the psychotropic goodies win. wild the binder is loly cooking, it's blended with cashews, almond, walnuts and dried fruit. this will be the framework to suspend the thc-laden goodness in the next step. the cannabis-laced butter chocolate is added along with plenty of honey to bind together all of the ingredients. then mix.
6:19 pm
last, you roll the entirety of the mixture into a ball and either refrigerate or dig right in. of course, network standards and practices prohibit me from even tasting this delicious and reportedly mind-eightering treat. i'm guessing, anyway. so until i see chris, john and wolf doing bong arrives in "the situation room," i will abide by these rules, because that's the kind of guy i am. there's one particular cafe in the heart of the cass into that's drawn in foreign dignitaries, rock stars, aris crass and artists since it opened its doors in 1943. cafe baba. sweet mint tea in a thick slow-moving haze of smoke. it smells like my dorm room

6:21 pm
here and -- >> it makes money. >> he sees it as a future economic economy. is many good or bad? >> for moroccans, it's work, but of course ex-pats want to keep tangier like they know it before. >> i mean, this cafe is very similar to the way it was, but there's a tv right there. >> flat screen. >> that's why people come here. they come to watch soccer games. >> you can well imagine the american guy who's lived in tangier for 30 years, he comes in, there's a flat screen tv on the wall, he's like -- what? you've ruined the authenticity and the integrity, but the moroccan guy at the next table is like, wait a minute, asshole, you have a flat screen at home. i want one too. what is wrong with that? >> there are people here that probably have never heard of -- if you follow that, ms. no progression, no progress, no
