    To even do an interview with anyone in that state shows lack of concern and respect.Brendan Behan was in a depressed state and alcohal was destroying his mind at that stage,and body.Poor man.God bless him.💚

    The stunning brilliance of Brendan Behan's life, cut short by hard drinking and the wildlife. Another most brilliant Dublin man and the greatest rocker of all time Phil Lynott also lost his young life, caused by that bad wildlife. But what kind of men would Brendan and Phill have been if they had led the quiet life, their works may not have been as great Both men paid a very heavy price for fame and glory.. I still miss both Brendan & Phil and I think of them all of the time

      It’s a shame I agree, i believe he was a depressed man,
      Like myself I cannot get through a day and deal with my own mind without something to numb reality, but Brendan could have created a lot more before he died if he could have coped with a sober mind

      @@theliamofella and Charles Pukeowski, I feel you two and I've been in the same shitty boat as you both have but thankfully I've run my ass aground and once I got past the physical addiction part which was fuckin real bad being sober was a freedom I couldn't have imagined possible. A big thing for me was to stop telling myself I couldn't take reality or I couldn't deal with my own mind. I realized that if I was telling myself I couldn't "deal" without being smashed or high enough to hunt ducks with a rake that sure as shit . . . I couldn't or wouldn't be able to "deal" with squat. What I was telling myself was coming true, telling myself that my mind was shit, well, my mind became shit. There's just no way out of that shit hole with this kind of thinking. I started telling the opposite story. I started telling the story that my mind was good, or good enough and that the "shit" was probably the alcohol I was dumping into my body, into my head and just feeding the stupid story I was telling myself. Yeah, I love drinking and yeah reality can suck alotta the time, but with a clear head I found out my mind is a helluva lot stronger than both the drink and reality. I make my own goddam reality. Just sayin'.

    Behan had untreated diabetes that affected his brain and his speech, was often mistaken for drunkenness. His intelligence, humour and articulation still shone through. He suffered diabetic blackouts and diabetic comas that caused damage. The drinking probably caused the diabetes.

      He was 40 or 41. In another place this interview is said to take place in 1964. As he died in March 1964, this would have been just weeks before his death. But his birthday was in February, so he could have been 40 or 41.
