yeah shithead - thats it for me. bye bye

yes indeed.

whenever i am reading a poem - and suddenly it becomes obvious that what i am reading is supposed to be a poem - i notice the repeated use of certain letters or words like "like" - or any and all of the "tricks" - when i see this obviousness occuring it makes me ill, and i turn the page or go...

yes, bill , right, i mean nothing really matters too much. unless we want it to. i am listening to sibelius now. five inches of snow outside my window, on the ledge. i look out at the snowy windows of the building next to mine. it is 12:15 am.. i meant in the earlier post to say that ive...

OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! dont drive the spooky girl awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! (a couplet) paul

i hate metaphors. i hate similes. they must be used - sparingly. far apart. they are too easy. "a rose is like a hammer beneath the noon sun" - i just made that up. someone might think that's cool. its bullshit. maybe. anyway - i hate the letter "s" because so often poets use it -...

bill , yes - perhaps bukowski wouldnt have liked cave, the bad seeds, et. al.. he didnt like rock - right? thats ok - matter of a very personal taste. he wouldnt have been picking on nick for being "nick cave" - he would simply be saying he wasnt into that style of music. ive been listening...

three dream circus : a bresson double feature, poor quality bootlegs (?) - hard to find stuff i rented at a place nearby - "a gentle woman" and "the devil probably". also watched sokurov's doc. on tarkovsky "moscow elegy". all very fine. happy viewing to you all , paul

mr. johnston came to minneapolis (where i live) in 2000. he played in a little club (now long gone) downtown. he played about an hour - just daniel and his guitar. i taped it on little cheapo take recorder. very good show. he didnt walk off or leave and he finished every song. it was a...

a film is a dream taking place in front of you while you are awake. a film is a kind of hypnotic state, i think, and we are not always completely aware of what is going on at these times. all i am saying - is be careful. your money is like a vote - too. your money is telling the producers...

rolling stones - "love in vain" the who - "summertime blues" daniel johnston - "happy talk" john prine - "clay pigeons" devo - "(i can't get no) satisfaction" mott the hoople "sweet jane" & "all the young dudes" maureen tucker - "pale blue eyes" & "danny boy" sid viscious - "my way" - the...

have you ever heard of reverend billy and church of stop shopping? just wondering. they have an interesting stance when it comes to $tarbucks. (of course they have a website too.)

i second that.

"and the killer beheads the child like taking a bite out of an ice cream cone. . ." i wish id writ this.

to me in the later books it seems like there is about one really good poem out of about 15 bad. but the "bad" ones always seem to have something full of life in them that makes them worth the read. so - if i ever see mr. mailer (i never really could read him) ill have to tell him that he knew...

i think there is something wrong with someone who doesnt like nick cave. there is also something wrong with any one that decides they dont like bukowski 0 then says theyve been born again into the working class simple world where everyone walks around spewing drunkn rhetoric - or whatever. i...

i read him back in the 70's when i was in high school. i remember reading stuff from naked lunch out loud in some stupid class. evryone thought i was gay or a junky or something. i was just having fun. recently i read queer - his first, i think, novel. really not so good - i mean - it...

jerzy , they (mgm) just released ( couple years ago) "alfredo" in the us in a nice widescreen edition. cheap but with not too many special features - still - you should get hold of it somehow. and dont go too hard on yourself about the social commentary claim. i think thats ok. i...

a-men!!! & happy chinese new year to you all!!! its also my mothers birthday. gotta go give here a call now. cheers

yes, indeed. sam, i believe, was one of the best filmmakers america has ever produced. even his last films - osterman weekend and the killer elite are better than the stuff propped up and pooped out today. sam lived in the moment. his characters lived there also. every second of his...

JUST BUY IT ALL NOW! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!! i know, money. and welcome! paul

hey , richard burton and sam - great idea. and william faulkner could do the screenplay (why not?). just watched/rented koko the talking gorilla (criterion). good stuff. i dont know why i hadnt seen it long ago.

i have a great friend who fears/realizes he might be bi-polar/schizo - he refuses to be diagnosed. he doesnt want the drugs that will make him into something that he isnt. he has his moments - depressions, anxieties, etc. but somehow he has been pretty successful in dealing with them - plus he...

i second the "mysteries" suggestion. i loved that book. long time ago when i read it.

ever heard of electric beer? i think its just made in bisbee arizona. very good stuff. had it in a little old bar there about two years ago. bass is great stuff. but mostly i just drink budweiser, its cheap - what the hell?
