"I'm on the porch 'cause I lost my house key Pick up my book, I read Bukowski"

Bullshit. In how many books has he mentioned rolling joints, smoking weed, etc? Albeit he probably kept it around for the ladies, but it's obvious he enjoyed it somewhat or he wouldn't have continued to smoke the shit.

Ha! That's something I like about Buk. He didn't go out of his way to hide the real identity. I mean, "Women" is a classic example as is "Post Office."

Bringing it all back home...

I think there are some hints in the letter books, but I am at work right now, and cannot look anything up. I'm thinking Buk did like DT.

Yeah, I know Watt. He is San Pedro. Very nice guy, and a huge Buk fan. Obviously. WJE is good, but they could have had less interviews with certain people that will go unmentioned.

Great interview. I posted Watt's link here a month ago or so.

All good questions and observations. I would like to hear what anyone else thinks. I don't try to analize the "whys" of Bukowski's poems/writing too much.

I'm sure when he was drunk he thought he was 10 feet tall and bullet proof. I think the thing about Bukowski was he could take a punch. He took beatings his entire life starting with his father. After a while you get numb to that kind of pain. I bet he could pack a punch too. It probably...

You're damn right about that.

I saw this clip on youtube last week or so. Best of luck getting it out. I'd love to see the entire interview.

Yes, it is interesting indeed. I like this website a lot. Thanks!

I have friends in Pedro. I visited Buk's grave a couple of years ago. D. Boon's as well. I'm going to buy a couple bottles of red and probably listen to some classical or maybe listen to a Buk reading I just got - after I get drunk.

You also have to remember that Henry Rollins cannot stand drunks. I imagine all the talk of being drunk, hungover, etc... probably gets old to him. On the other hand, Bukowski wrote other about other subjects than horses, drinking and fighting. He was, after all, writing about the things he...

I was really drunk when I wrote that thing. I don't usually drink when I'm writing. Yeah, the last line is a total buk rip off.

Like a crab you could go backwards. . . Earth-vexing barnacle. Saucy onion-eyed clotpole. Remember when Richard spoke of The Rotton Mouth of Death? And your strange matters with art, not quite noble enough at that young age? Time moves and we still hang onto life. . . some of us...

No one calls a bartender bar keep these days. "Hey, bar keep, go fetch me a draft." He also uses a term for a hamburger that I remember my grandparents using: a hamburger steak... And calling socks stockings. What guy do you know these days that calls their socks stockings?

For those of you in the Philadelphia area: Wed., Aug. 16, 7 p.m., free, Robin's Bookstore, 108 S. 13th St. www.robinsbookstore.com Happy early birthday, Charles Bukowski! "All the birds and plants are dead," and so are you! He Who Boozed Too Much entered the world Aug. 16, 1920, and...

Welcome. Huh? You read every single Bukowski book in one (1) month?

Or "Hey man, I'm carrying my steel."

Thanks! Works great.

I always liked what he called a toilet: A "crapper." He called young women "birdies."

Lydon didn't use heroin tho'. He took a lot of speed, but no smack.

Now you're joking, eh? I went back and re-read the part in "Shakespeare never did this" and I can't figure out who he is talking about. I do remember footage being shot in France in '77 or '78 that ended up in "The Great rock & Roll Swindle," so that was my first guess. But you're right, it...

He (Sid) was in France around the same time according to some video footage, but who knows... could be someone else.
