Love and a .451994

Watty Watts:
[Narrating] Vergil ripped his own throat open during a heavy acid trip in the early sixties. Vergil was born poor... and when he read that the government was paying students to participate in experiments with psychedelic drugs... he volunteered. They dosed him with something called BZ... Vergil lost it. He won a huge settlement in court... which allowed him to live well without workin'. Later in his life, Vergil lost the function in his legs due to an amphetamine addiction he acquired while tryin' to lose weight so he could avoid the draft. He threw a clot and lost the use of his legs. But Star's parents have never been addicts... they're just handicapped, suburban hippies.
