what did he do so bad? was it murder his wife in front of his friends as a party gag? or was it letting them rape his son and not doing anything about it?

I think i saw an interview with Ginsberg once where he said it was a myth created by Kerouac - On the Road, that followed him ever since the book release.

he had a modest allowance. just enough to get by on. it wasn't a huge fortune. for a while he lived in a converted YMCA basement in New York, not Sam Fucking Simeon.

>Did Burroughs really do that?

"Murder" is questionable. he was drunk at the time, and if she was worried he might murder her then she wouldn't have stood there with a shot glass balanced on her head, saying "Hey, Bill, let's do that 'William Tell' bit!"

There were rumours he was a pedofile. It isn't a stretch, since even Ginsberg supported NAMBLA and both of them referred to fucking "boys" - but that could be a euphemism for younger men.

Is the key to artistic inspiration to just be a complete degenerate?
