It's a long time ago that I read about this, but I think he got money from his parents, who owned something of a tourist shop. I think they divested any shares they had in Burroughs long before this. In any case Bill (Naked Lunch) didn't have any shares in the company, and more or less parasitised his parents - but who amongst us can say that we haven't done that? certainly not me.
- jajko 1y agoNot parasiting as an adult from one's parents? Certainly many not only here. Giving back is more the name of the game.
- kevinventullo 1y agoDivested doesn’t mean they didn’t inherit their wealth from it. Most people do not parasitize from their parents after reaching adulthood; it is in fact the status quo. You might want to be a bit more embarrassed about it.
