Buk Trivia... Answerer becomes next Questioner

M

MULLINAX

Was what "Charles Bukowski: Locked in the arms of a Crazy Life"? There is no mention in Sounes of Buk's maternal grandmother. A schocking omission for what is regarded as the best of the biographies. Actually, it is the only TRUE biography, the rest being mostly self-serving memoirs.

Actually, GAYLORD (his real name) Brewer wrote a fine literary biography, but he left out all the funny parts.

No pics of Madonna in either Sounes, Pleasants or Harrison.

I seem to have lost the thread of this "thread".

yep! Actually, both pics appear in the Dec. 1987 German Playboy issue, alongside the interview conducted by Penn.

Rourke: From the Streets.
Penn: Rich kid.

And to think that Buk befriended the private school Bel-Air, Malibu punk...
And yeah, both are "boxers". Rourke would DESTROY Penn in a Norman Mailerish instant.

Rourke is much more "Hollywood" than Penn, whatever their roots may be. In a fight? Ha - I wouldn't bet on Rourke. Maybe you're forgetting those pictures of Penn chasing a photographer through the street and clubbing him over the head with a big rock. That doesn't mean he's a good fighter, it means he's out of his fucking mind.

I'd rather fight a boxer than a lunatic, any day. ;)

the pic bongo has showed us was in "Das War's. Letzte Worte mit Charles Bukowski" btw.


And yeah, I bet Penn can go really WILD. And he's a fine actor too. Rourke may have been a fighter once, but when it comes to a fight between mjp and one of his correspondents, I wouldn't call Rourke for help these days.

Ha. I think my correspondent finally got tired of threatening me. He seems to have stopped. If he shows up on my doorstep and I have to shoot him, I'll let you know how it goes. ;)

Then again, he may shoot me first, in which case I bequeath administration of the forum to Benjamin Pleasants.

Yay America!

I gave a part of the answer ( Sean Penn ) so i will step in to let it flow.

What was Bukowski's first alter ego called ?

You don't have it? I thought everyone had a copy of the 1947 Matrix lying around... ;)

"Notes of a Dirty Old Man" was not the only generically titled columns/stories B. wrote for mags and papers. To my knowledge, there were -at least- two other columns/stories with a generic title. One of them is so obscure that I don't think anyone on this forum knows the title, but the other one appeared several times in a girlie mag which is more accesible. Which was the title of that other column/story?

I heard of " The Adventures of Clarence H. Sweetmeat " printed in L.A. Free Press from a crazy spanish guy on this forum.

You're techinically right as Sweetmeat was sort of a regular column for a while, but I was thinking of columns/stories with text only, not comic strips.

the hairy elbow?

seriously, you should just put up another question, since you've given the answer.
I think that might be what we are all really waiting for.

you got us on that one.

I'm running out of easy questions :D

ok, Bukowski was interviewed a lot of times, but he also conducted a couple of interviews -maybe more. In one of them, he interviewed himself -huh?- and in the other one he interviewed the Great Editor. This interview was publilshed. When and where?
