Kurt Cobain was a fan of Bukowski

I declare every religion A LIE.

Even Bukowskism ?

I read Cobain's diary at a time when I was not acquainted with Hank yet, so I didn't pay attention to the sequence you were talking about. I was more captivated by Kurt's evocations of his impressive intestinal problems.

Besides, wouldn' it be nicer to give a chance to Locust instead of suspecting him too rapidly of being a troll ? ;)

I've always thought that what Kurt Cobain said was true. Am I wrong? Oh Christ, tell me what to do!
Hey slimedog, post #666!:)

I know -and locust seems like a bibical term. plague of locust and all. I guess our best bet is to meet with MJP in LA where he can build us an ark and prepare for the rapture. Or go to Gerald's house and watch American Idol-though shall not have false idols before me.

We were watching Dancing with the Stars or The Dog Whisperer.

If a mosquito lands on your arm are you going to wait until it bites you and takes some blood before you kill it? On the off chance that maybe - just maybe - this particular mosquito isn't going to bite you? And even if it does, that bite is not going to itch? Wouldn't it be stupid to think that? This is the same thing.

Hahahahaha! Animal rights!

I don't remember posting this. If there is a deity, can he/she hold me accountable for things said during a blackout ? I need to go on the wagon.

Maybe the Jesus Wagon

Six Hail Mary's and a bit of self-flagellation (say two hours or so) and you'll be as good as new.

Bukowski was a fan of Kurt Cobain

Wasn't there a line in his late poetry-book 'Giants of shoulders the on standing', where he stated he really really admired the lyrics of ''?

Hey slimedog, post #666!:)

hmm well lets see .. cobain also said he was a male. aged 23 and lactating. should we take that as truth??

ive learnt that people believe what they want to believe.

I paraphrased what you said rather than quoting it to prove a point (thanks for your help). I knew you would nitpick and quibble over which exact words you said, and then say that you meant something other than what your words implied.

Again, you are a very specific and identifiable forum "type," and your kind always end their tenure the same way. I'm sure you will not disappoint by veering off course and doing something unexpected. This is a completely predictable arc - like a sitcom or horror movie.

and what was the point??? you are being accusatory, why wouldnt i at least try to defend myself??? you dont know me. what i did was explain my intent. nothing more. nothing less. you choose not to take me at my word so there is really nothing i can do. and to be honest why should you take me at my word? as i said you dont know me. but dont for one second think that you know my 'type' cause i dont have a type. my 'tenure' here wont be ended by you standing over me trying to show how much of a bumwad i am.

anyone who wants to engage me on level ground will be welcome to. as for those who cant seem to get past my indiscretion... well... thats their problem, not mine.

 

[BUMWAD]

but dont for one second think that you know my 'type' cause i dont have a type. my 'tenure' here wont be ended by you standing over me trying to show how much of a bumwad i am.

Why you gotta bring me into this fight?

BUMWAD

 

[locust]

wasnt me dude. and what fight? im a lover not a fighter... unless you piss me off. ;):D

i got an invite to a very very exclusive group. so exclusive that apparently i am the only member. hard to believe but... anyhoo despite its juvenility, i got a laugh out of it.

 

[mjp]

...dont for one second think that you know my 'type' cause i dont have a type. my 'tenure' here wont be ended by you standing over me trying to show how much of a bumwad i am.

Baby, why you gotta be like that? Didn't I buy you the McDonalds you were whining for last night? I know I bought those shoes you're wearing. Look how I take care of you, and you gonna stand there and give me shit? Think your daddy is going to take care of you like that? After what he did to you? Now get out there and make me some money. And don't try sneaking back in here light. Come with a grand or stay out. Understand?

 

[Ninjerk]

you dont know me.

Oh no you di'int

 

[Duende]

As with alot of Kurt's writing,he embellishes alot.I don't honestly believe he burned any Bukowski books.I did read that Kurt was a fan of authors whose name started with a B.

 

[bospress.net]

Kurt was a fan of Burroughs and even met him. He also did the guitar work on "the Priest They Called Him".

I can see a guy with a junk problem getting into Burroughs more than Bukowski. Not an insult to anyone, just a fact.

Bill

 

[LickTheStar]

The Priest They Called Him is one super crazy trip... I like it though...

 

[bospress.net]

Burroughs played the role of the priest in Drugstore Cowboy. I seem to remember that I liked the movie and loved the small Burroughs part, which is funny as hell.


Bill

 

[slimedog]

Little known fact is that Buk was a big fan of Cobain and was pissed when he chosed to work with Burroughs over him.

 

[pigmantoo]

Suicide is painless or so they say.... but what if....

to be honest I would rather youngsters worship dead poets than dead rockstars

Last week I talked to a guy that was one of the 29 people to survive a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. His name was John Hines. He said it hurt like hell. He is writing a book called "Chronicles of a Psychotic Mind". I can hardly wait. Suicide can all teach us something.

Ambreen, you're getting better and better.

I remember reading Courtney Love (they've always got to blame someone, haven't they?) got Kurt on the smack after he was having extreme stomach pains caused by an ulcer. That was a while after he got famous, supposedly. If anyone cares.

 

[LickTheStar]

Very true. Though given that he was a part of the 90s music scene, he probably would have ended up on heroin anyway... See Layne Staley, Axl Rose (yeah, 80s I know, whatever), the first singer for Pearl Jam, that guy from Sublime... uh... there's probably more. But heroin seems to be THE drug for 90s rockers...

Also, Cobain had bad stomach problems as a result of scoliosis, which was aggravated by guitar playing... I imagine he'd have od'd on heroin eventually.

Courtney Love is a whore, a tramp, an awful singer, a terrible wife, and an awful mother (not to mention more than likely a murderer, or at least an accomplice), but she didn't necessarily get Cobain on drugs herself...

Why couldn't she have stuck with Billy Corgan?

 

[slimedog]

If Courtney really wrote Live Through This, and i guess there's some debate, she created my favorite album of the 90's-performed and sang pretty great on it, anyways. Really liked Nirvana but this tops it for me. Don't really care if she's a good mommy or wifey.

I don't think Axl was on the H, it was Slash.

 

[bospress.net]

Anyone see pictures of Axl with cornrows? He needs to get back on the H. and lose the cornrows....

Bill

p.s. I hear that he is a poetic genius. All of his songs can be read as poems and they stand alone as the greatest poetry ever written.... ugh....

couldn't agree more. she was a talent parasite. i think she was the last straw of misery for him - realizing the hell he got himself into with her and the inevitable separation/divorce nightmare pushed him over the edge.

 

[mjp]

Agreed. They were a credible punk band, that album kicked ass, and she was a natural performer. Was.

Anyone who thinks her influence was enough to kill Cobain is mistaken though. In my ever humble opinion. His problems were terminal long before he met her. Now, like Bukowski, maybe his life could have been extended somewhat had he paired up with a different kind of person. But even then, his story likely would have ended the same way it did.

 

[d gray]

His problems were terminal long before he met her.

true but i think she helped speed up the process.
i defy any reasonable person to spend any amount of time with her and not want to off themselves
