they cut a lot of this story from the vinyl release. he lived a particular violent and fragile life, which sadly would be the end of the him. a shame too, as with what he'd learned he was a multi faceted talent. his work and books are fast becoming forgotten and expensive artefacts now (I discovered him last year) but deep diving him was one of my highlights of 2024
@@PalmerEldritch23 yeah his life seemed so brutal & unfair. I’m going to see if I can find the documentary I’m pretty obsessed with him and all “Outsider” artists like Daniel Johnston & Wesley Willis.
I did seven months in a Chinese prison. It was the safest place you could ever be. I am as ashamed of our American prison system as I am of China's judicial system.
I love SJB so much. I even tried to produce a follow up record to his Prison release. I went so far as contacting the library of congress and his son. It was so cool chatting with his son. It was almost surreal.This dude needs more press. My favorite spoken word artist ever.@@PalmerEldritch23

This story is insane I’ve never heard it.
Can you imagine what it smelled like after all that aftershave was consumed?
@@PalmerEldritch23 honestly I can’t really imagine any of it. What was he in jail for?
@@miameramusic I actually don't know. I have not seen the documentary on him that was made, but I would imagine it may have been drug-related.
