FYI, "William Lee" was a pen-name for the late, great William S. Burroughs! From Wikipedia: "Junkie was written at the urging of Allen Ginsberg, who was instrumental in getting the work published, even as a cheap mass market paperback. Ace Books published the novel in 1953 as part of an Ace Double under the pen name William Lee, retitling it Junkie: Confessions of an Unredeemed Drug Addict. (it was later republished as Junkie or Junky)."
Hollywood, California- For several decades now, Joey Altruda has been revered for his musical contributions and larger than life personality. Considered a renaissance man by many the world over, Altruda runs far and deep in his cultural knowledge, always thirsty for more. He is also an impressario, writer, and overall tastemaker in the world of retro culture.
