Warhol knew it!

"In the future, everyone will be 'the next Bukowski' for 15 minutes."

Haha, so true! But who will be the next Bukowski for more than 15 minutes?

After reading the Valdez thread, it looks like we have a candidate...or do we?
Seriously, there'll never be another Bukowski, not even for 15 minutes.

We've seen many of these 15 min here.
Which just proves the fact.

Hyde is a good poet.
Das ist alles.

Hyde is a good poet.

I don't know Hyde, so I can't tell.

But Warhol was not talking about the quality of poetry, but about being 'the next Bukowski' of poetry.

And I guess, if we'd collect a list of all the people having been called that, we'd get a telephonebook full of names, right? Well, maybe a phonebook from a smaller city than LA, okay.

Yes, a telephone book full of names from a medium sized city sounds about right, Roni. :D
