Bukowski v.s. his father: who would win in an all-out fight?

[Bill Sikes]

Don't forget that he brutally insulted Arnold Schwarzenegger and his work (to his face) at Spago one night.

Spago? WTF Bukowski is doing there? Wouldn't he hate places like that?

Bukowski didn't hate the perks of his minor fame.

And Spago was just a restaurant. It was trendy for a minute, but if you wanted to pay the ridiculous bill, anyone could go eat there.

Yep, just like he said; "Poor or rich, everybody wants the same thing."

Spago? WTF Bukowski is doing there? ...

That was at a party, Frances Schoenberger's birthday. Sept. 1985.
He had been invited by Michael Montfort.

Free drinks and writing material, why not.

just to go slightly off topic here, and to d gray's point, I was watching a documentary on Colville once, and Colville had a bookshelf displaying all the books that used his artwork for the cover. one was a Bukowski book. can't remember which book, or what country it was published in.

really? wow, what a coincidence. i would guess a german publication, because colville is really popular over there, so i've read. i wonder if he read the book and what he thought if so...

found it!

I would just want to be the special guest referee... or the not so special guest referee.
