A short documentary I created about a homeless man who resides in Peoria, IL. He is famous for things such as eating roadkill and wearing "bone necklaces," but I got to know his more philosophical side.

  • Hey if you didn't read the Phil Luciano article a while ago, Willy is off the streets and living in a nursing home and is doing pretty good from what Phil had to say. He has put on wight and is even taking psychiatric drugs for an undisclosed mental condition. However, Phil did say that Willy would like to go back to the streets and be free again and get wasted. Great article and it cleared up a lot of rumors about his life and his current condition. Love you Willy!

  • i remember willie walking downtown peoria by the adult bookstore when i was 7, 8 years old. im 39 now and for bieng "homeless" willie looks healthier than i am! i do know despite what ppl say he actually is quite wealthy...veteran checks that never get spent. (who needs money when you live off whatever you find in the dumpsters...and i dont mean rats. friends of mine keep me in the loop ...he WEARS road kill for shock effect but he eats better than half the salvation army.
