Emulating your father is the worst decision. Although your connected by blood....your both individuals with your own goals, ambitions and ideas.
-
totally agree with you. That guy seems horrible. That just goes to show how one can let strangers intrude in their families and important relationships and neglect the ones you really love.

@snoristerlison i had never read either of their work til i found a copy of speed in lawrence, kansas. that's where burroughs senior died i think. check ebay.

burroughs' creepy butler/servant guy unnerves me. i'm sure he didn't help the relationship between father and son. especially when he wants laments about his desire to be 'the son' and essientially considered billy a 'rival',
-
@SatanicFilmHouse Well, Ginsberg also mentions that Joan was taking a lot of Amphetamine while she was pregnant with him.
-
I can't find a copy of speed or gis book he never finished i guess they are out of print
-
What is this documentary called?
-
My greatest fear as a child was thinking that my father could love another child more than me...
-

Anyways, did they ever find out what was wrong with Burroughs Jr? Liver cirrhosis usually takes decades to develop, Burroughs Jr. got it in five years. That's messed up. It didn't say in his bio, either (except that it was exacerbated by liquor), the only thing I can figure is that he got a liver disease from shooting up with dirty needles (Which he also references in the book, such as injecting morphine filled with week-old blood), or his immune system was compromised from meth use.

Thanks for posting this clip! I have read Cursed from birth and Billy's books Kentucky Ham and Speed, i have always been fascinated by him.

Billy was one of the first people to receive a liver transplant- the recovery was slow and painful and obviously the procedure had yet to be perfected. It was amazing how long he survived--his book "Kentucky Ham" helped me deal with a severe health breakdown of my own. This footage shows him to be a decent man and a good son to William.
