I found this mentioned on boingboing.net http://www.lettersofnote.com/2011/10/charles-bukowski-on-censorship.html good stuff!

Thanks for the tip, Ponder. I'll be there next monday.

I was reading the last chapters of "Hank"by Neeli Cherkovski in bed, finished the book en went to sleep. The next morning it was on tv that Bukowski passed away. The rest of that day I felt sad, and confused because around the moment I closed that (sort of) book of his life, he had died some...

Last June, there was an article in a Dutch newspaper about a young man who had by far the best high school exam results in the whole of the Netherlands. Straight A's for all languages, sciences etc. He's going to Oxford, England now to do two or three studies at the same time. Brilliant kid, and...

The Parting Glass (trad.) by The Pogues Oh, all the money e'er I had, I spent it in good company. And all the harm that ever I've done, alas it was to none but me. And all I've done for want of wit to mem'ry now I can't recall; So fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be with...

CBMDC Amsterdam Chapter Thanks Ponder, for sharing this. It inspired me (OK, I stole the idea...) to start an Amsterdam Chapter of the CBMDC. First night is 9th of march, no coincidence of course. Already 20 people responded with enthousiasm. We'll see... http://cbmdc.blogspot.com/ (in Dutch)

David, Please put me on the Deluxe list. Thank you!

Thanks for the link Gerard, I had no clue what the word might mean. Myself, I always discribed that state of being as "alcophile", but dipsomaniacal sounds much better.

It is. Me like. I found a different version at the bottom of this article. Lyrics and lots of trivia on this page.

It is a funny story, and it's fun to remind him now and then of it. Thinking of him, another time after whiskey, he was outside the bar swinging a heavy chain used to lock his bicycle at a friend who made a remark or something futile. But him hit himself in the head with the padlock that is on...
