Who once sold him for a "pitcher of beer".

His father was a Colonel from Pike County Kentucky.

None of his family ever wanted him. They once dressed him up in a red dress so he would have to fight for himself.

He was sent to reform school in Indiana, where he ran off, and started stealing cars and other crimes.

His only family was the one he created from his "acid trips" in California.

It was rather sad reading about his life history.
