[@gregscavuzzo5457]

I was on a Methadone Clinic with Mr. Burroughs at KU Medical Center in Kansas City, he was very friendly and would talk to us and answer questions no matter how ridiculous they were, he would also sign books 📚 if asked, he was a wonderful person and is missed , when he was done at KU he would go to Nichols Lunch and eat breakfast, when he would see me at Nichols Lunch he would always say hello or tip his hat , RIP Mr. Burroughs

[@tonywalton1052]

I was at the same clinic with Burroughs. We used to go out to mcdonalds together

[@gregscavuzzo5457]

@@tonywalton1052 Were you on the morning or afternoon clinic, what was nice about KU is that you were treated like a normal person and not a convict or a person with a disease, it was amazing how the clients changed through the years, when I first got on the clinic it was mostly Vietnam Vets and Black Mafia, then in the late 1990s it changed to people doing Dilaudid, in the early days everyone was doing heroin, anyway, KU was a good clinic, I was on a clinic in Austin Texas and they were mean, they talked to you like you were in prison, it was like Cool Hand Luke , " shaking it up here boss " if you gave one dirty urine , they would kick you off

@@tonywalton1052 Burroughs always went to Nichols Lunch after he left the clinic, he also had at least one, sometimes two assistants that helped him, I can't imagine Bill leaving KU Methadone Clinic and going to McDonald's, we went on the same days and he always went to Nichols Lunch, I know because after I was dosed I would go there also and get breakfast, Burroughs was like clockwork, he got dosed , got his carryouts ,then headed to Nichols Lunch

[@lucasdavis1964]

Burroughs. A writer, junky, poet, prophet, humorist, social commentator, homosexual, satirist, "schizo," philosopher, etc.... But most importantly, a very special human being. This film (along with "Trainspotting," "Fear and Loathing," "A Scanner Darkly" and "Requiem for a Dream") dig deep beneath the surface of the "just say no"/D.A.R.E. mentality that my generation and others were made to grow up with, exploring not only the dark, seedy underbelly of the drug culture but also exposing the underlying hypocrisies that permeate through the various cultures that denounce such vices. Most important of all, these films do not simply glamorize or condemn drug usage, rather they offer reasons as to why people get caught in the vicious cycle of addiction in the first place. The ultimate truth is this; in the end, we are all fragile. We are all human. (Way too preachy but I think you get where I'm coming from).

[@elflaco6654]

Lucas Davis Saw this film at the theater when it came out. The 1st Gus Van Sant film I can recall. Love the way it was shot along w/ Matt Dillion's standout performance as well as Bill's cameo. For me the best drug movie ever made on the planet earth.

I had the privilege of spending 3 days with Burroughs' best friend, John Giorno. Giorno was with William when he passed away. He told me that near the very end Burroughs had reached a state that the Zen Buddhists call kensho. There is no direct translation for the Japanese word kensho to English but it approximately means a state of spiritual enlightenment. The world misses your wisdom, Mr. Bill.

Absinther. GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU. ☺☺ Drugstore Cowboy one of my favorite. movies. And William Shakespeare Burroughs was a Genius beyond his time.

[@SimplyLimbo]

garyd044 Im sorry but burroughs, jack kerouac, are far from 'shakespeares' imo the only one with some real talent was Ginsberg, especially his "Howl", but its hard to read a poem written by a guy who likes young boys. The best american writers imo, are those from the 19 and 18th century. (Emerson, Poe, etc) Beat generation.... i cant believe burroughs came up with this 'cutt and paste' technique lol. Thats just silly, afcourse sometimes u get an interesting sentence, but i mean, come on ;) lol.

[@1060michaelg]

@@SimplyLimbo I think it's hard to compare Burroughs and Kerouac with Allen Ginsberg, the first two being writers and Allen a poet. Too, I think Ginsberg had 2 TRULY great works; "HOWL" and "Kaddish"...of course, there many gems in his body of work. It is futile (to say nothing of ill-advised) to allow your views on morality come into play when it comes to literature. We'd have NO literature at all if the morality yardstick was applied. Having said that, some of Ginsberg's poems turn me off with the focus on pederasty. Take care.

[@1060michaelg]

Joachim Peiper SS Love Drugstore Cowboy as well. Uncle Bill was no less than a prophet...one of only a few writers that In my opinion were possessed of the gift, the other two main ones are George Orwell and Aldous Huxley...Ray Bradbury deserves a nod for "Fahrenheit 451". But Bill's words (and make no mistake, he made these pronouncements in the '50's) spoken during 3:17 to 4:34...are prophetic warnings that have come to pass...as we all know...especially we who are afflicted with "The Sickness". Be well.

[@Misserbi]

Mr. Burroughs was fortunate for many things besides the fact he lived into his 80's and was able to remain active for as long as he did. It makes me think his decision to turn to the criminal networks for inspiration was his comment on the variable foolishness of treating a deviant as violent and vice versa. A person who thinks differently doesn't necessarily pose a threat and desire you dead.

[@cgvapors963]

This was a really great movie that almost went completely overlooked by moviegoers back then, in a time when huge blockbusters were the only thing people started caring about. Still, this movie was a brilliant story ahead of its time. Seems very relevant now, especially with the opiate epidemic and pharma drug problem we face in this country.

[@IronHorsey3]

I saw Drugstore Cowboy when it came out in the late eighties I loved it an is one of my favourite movies 🍿 🎉

[@Bullntheheather]

I felt the exact opposite. All the people that should have saw this film did so The theaters were packed here in Chicago. Those in the know were extremely excited. It was an extremely popular indie flick that had a rabid following. This wasn’t a film for squares.

[@Bullntheheather]

I hate the catch phrase opiate epidemic. The only thing that has changed is China and Mexico have flooded the states with cheap fentanyl analogs. Thanks to the US government abandoning the afghan poppy fields thereby opening the floodgates for a stronger cheaper drug designed to kill. Big pharma is a convenient scapegoat. Very few heroin addicts back in the day started because of an oxy addiction. We live in a shit world filled with ghouls.

It changed my life so much I wrote James Fogle (the screenwriter who this movie is based on) soon after to thank him. He was incarcerated in the WA State Penn in Walla Walla. He wrote back, and we corrssponded for a year or two. This ( 4:50 ) was my favorite scene in the movie.

[@nitemareman1]

"The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate, is anathema to these idiots." What's more true than most realize is that it is the illegality of these drugs that brings about almost all of the negative consequences of their use. Most are simple plant compounds. They should cost pennies per dose. But instead the laws incentivize a black market that makes drugs unaffordable by normal means. You can't score in a timely manner, so you can't ever insure that you'll be somewhere on time for a job. You can't afford what you need to stay well from the wages of said said job, so a junkie is forced into a life of crime to gain money for his habit. Because the drugs are illegal, there is no reliable system for identifying what's in the drugs one is sold, so two shots that appear absolutely identical can contain wildly different amounts of drugs, so overdose is common. If these compounds were regulated and subjected to the laws of supply and demand, their prices would plummet and overdose deaths would cease. But the banking cartels need the massive influx of black market cash to run their fractional reserve system. Without it, the banks would crash in a month's tme.
