I've been landscaping my yard the last few weeks and I too think of Ham On Rye references when I'm out there working and or mowing that damn yard! I'd be getting an ass whooping every time! Funny!

Rick Springfield with a mullet. Some people shouldn't sing

I ate one out of the garden yesterday. Gave me the worst damn heartburn! I've never actually bought a radish though.

Just think....those uber smart people are probably just now discovering Bukowski. Walking away wondering who the hell he is after the show, going home and googling him, picking up a copy of Post Office....... Now they are doomed! It is quite funny that Bukowski stumped the nerds.

First off, not trying to be and ass here and or "flame" the post. This is written in a totally non sarcastic tone. Defending art strips away the fact that it is art. This failed feminist obviously hasn't read enough Bukowski to realize that he wouldn't give two shits about her like or dislike...

Odd...imagine being known as the boy who held Chuck Connors wood. If there was one thing he would change in his life, I bet it'd be that book cover.

Agreed. It's not trivial by any means to learn Blackbird. Playing it and singing over the top quite well, from someone only playing for a couple of months is more....inspiring. To me anyway. Point being that "what I'm listening to" is a young musician taking shape, having an appreciation...

This is an older post but....seeing clips from Linda Bukowski reflecting on her life with Charles and speaking of his death it's pretty easy to for me to see why he gave in. She seemed like a real gem and the ideal person to tame the man just enough. Her personality seems just as unique as...

EXACTLY!

Good Stuff! Thanks. I'd seen a few clips from this and wondered where they came from.

I love one of the lines slightly before that "You touch my drink and I'll break you in half like a piece of dry shit." Not sure why I find that so amusing?

Yes, I believe that some things just come to a person when they are "ready" or their level of awareness invites it in. I've had this happen a lot in the past 10 years or so. Things that I sort of stumble upon by chance. It's cool, almost an epiphany of sorts when this happens. I don't know that...
