I lived in Lawrence Kansas for several years before Mr. Burroughs passed away there.
One of my roommates announced that he had discovered where he lived. I wanted to just drop in on him, to meet him. It was only a couple of blocks from where we lived, but the roommate didn't want to do it. He wouldn't show me which house it was, either, because he didn't want me bothering him.
I'm still sort of 'miffed' about that situation.
We were neighbors in 1995, I think Bill passed in '97 ?"Bill" wasn't known to take kindly to strangers dropping in on him, especially after "the incident" re: the shooting of his wife. But I hear ya: if he's been in my neighbourhood I'd have tried to meet him, as I did in LA -- San Pedro, to be exact -- one Henry Charles "Hank" Bukowski in the early 1990s, (1992 IIRC). Glad I did; he died not long after, in 1994.

That's exactly what my squeaking clean roommate said, "He'll shoot us". What my roommate didn't know is that I was "holdin' " . It was 'just' reefer, but it was Hawaiian grown, and reeked like Pine Tar. You could smell a un-lit doobie from ten feet away, when the breeze was blowing.
All I would of had to do was knock on his door, introduce myself as the Herbal Expressions Man. He would have let me in.
Maybe I talk too much
"I can see two tiny pictures of myself, and there's one of them in each of your eyes".... and that voice ...
My stoner buddies all talked about him, but he didn't leave the house, and none of us could figure which one it was.
We thought it was south east of down town, you know something to talk about.
Then dudley do right announced, "I know where he lives". Pfft.
"I can see two tiny pictures of myself, and there's one of them in each of your eyes".
