Burroughs leaves the wake of destruction and murder that was his 30s and starts anew as a writer.

Like the 1973 film The Exorcist? So did this geriatric, Italian priest. So much so that he used it as an inspiration to make exorcisms cool again during the 1980s & 1990s. Was Father Amorth really battling demons from the fiery depths of Hell or just yelling at mentally handicapped children? Have a listen and decide for yourself.

Rob Ford and his family, or the Canadian Kennedys, partied their way to the top.
