  1. His Dad asking for his son to buy the guitar that was supposed to be given to him when he died was probably during his dad's heroin days. He was really bad into that one especially, he's even gotten in trouble for it since Billy became the star that he is. But yeah, he just needed money for drugs most likely.

  2. Yeah Billy's Dad basically told him "You wanna do music? What? No you don't, go do something else, go read a book, become a lawyer or something else, trust me, you don't want this life" and 99.99999% of people would take that getting shit on by their parents and would internalize and it go play Nintendo or do something else when someone like Billy was like "Fuck that, I will show you" and he did. And after his Dad started to see him get more serious he started steering him stylistically. Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, that sort of thing. But he was always still just like in a perpetual state of eye-rolls at Billy when Billy was in fact very, very serious about it. And he still is to this day.
