I almost posted that and I didn't for fear someone would give me shit for putting her in his birthday thread. What the hell someone brought up Ham on Ryan.
Birthday 8-16
Steve Carell, Shimon Perez, Fess Parker, Angela Bassett, Robert Culp, Frank Gifford, Edyie Gorme, James Cameron Director ("Titanic") ,Timothy Hutton, Actor Bob Balaban . That's just some of the famous people who are still living.

Slimedog; If you are serious that needs to be in a new thread. She has been cutting edge. When my son was two years old he loved:
Bukowski never did this.
Now if someone can come up with the photo of Bukowski in a Madonna T-shirt.

No, no. Always a follower, that one. She popularized (some might say sanitized) some club-centric, obscure music, but she - and her producers, who are really responsible for the sound of the records - have innovated absolutely nothing. Unless those big cone bras are an innovation. I guess you could argue that one.
I just threw up in my mouth.

Well swallow it again big guy because that was slimedog and he's not serious Sabout anything. Madonna is way the hell better than Britney Spears.
I'm so sorry, we need to have this crap taken out of Bukowski's 88th birthday thread. It's just wrong.

Saw that, but tell me that was on their birthdays and it will really tie in nicely.
Let's make things nice and sparkling clear. Buk would most definitely have puked in his mouth on his birthday. Especially when considering Madonna. Think about what he said about a legend such as Dylan. Now think about a useless fucktard such as Madonna. So, I puke one more time in my mouth, this time on defense of the Madonna statement and Sean Penn, for that matter.
Bugger the whole lot. I never really understood that whole thing, but I give Buk the benefit of the you know all that. For me, I don't get it.

I only posted that because Gerard mentioned he was scared of offfending people.
But I do seriously admire Madonna as a person if not a musician. She did things her way, just like Buk. Lots will disagree but I consider her a feminist.
I'm sure Buk wouldn't mind mention of her, he wrote about her in Hollywood-Ramona, I think.

Bukowski was proud of the fame he achieved (though he was always self-deprecating where it was concerned). You can see that by how many times he wrote and talked about being listed in Who's Who In America, for instance. Famous people - whoever they are - fawning over you and wanting to be your "friend" reinforces those feelings of fame and importance.
If David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson had been hanging around, I think he would have treated them the same way, written about them the same way, and posed for the same pictures. Not that they were a couple (were they?), but it was the first B-list names that came to mind.
Dan Rowan and Ruth Buzzi...I dunno. Pick your own unlikely pair of Bukowski pals.
"Madonna acts like she has just discovered sex and she keeps hitting you over the head with it."
(letter to John Martin. Jan 24, 1992 / Reach for the sun, p 218)
"Sean tells me that he last talked to Hank two weeks ago, at which time he invited him to come to this very cemetery for the filming of a scene in the movie Sean is now directing. But Hank declined. Probably his health was already relapsing and he didn't want anyone outside his family to know. He was only back in the hospital a week or so before his death."
(from Gerald Locklin: 'The funeral of Charles Bukowski' in: 'A Sure Bet'.)
p.s.:
roni is to drinking what Columbus was to reaching India. - or something like that - or the other way round.

Well, it's still wait for tomorrow for us at the moment, but the UK has passed to Aug 16th already. But I'll drink to that! And thanks, you dog.
