Why was Buk rejected from the military?

Great thoughts! I really enjoyed reading this. I have pissed off so many people on this board (got thrown out once) I guess my words I just piss off the Buk fans. I don't know why my words cause so much hate toward me.

I will continue to read this board as it helps me with my life. Have a long and rich life.

Just guessing, but I think what happened is that you may have been trying to enliven the boards with some random but perhaps misunderstood Bukowskian wildness, and your comments seemed unconnected with most of the threads and became sparks to nowhere. If things seem tame and boring around here from time to time, something of legitimate interest or shock value eventually comes around to light up the boards again. In the meantime, maybe you'll be able to get to the bottom of why others took exception to some of your remarks and you'll have a another chance, when the heat cools down, to redeem yourself, as the fig leaf turns. Just guessing about all this, of course, and luck just the same: it's still great to have Bukowski.

My opinion is that Art, and not to romanticize it, comes from pain. So every artist has been disturbed in a sense. Art is almost a form of therapy for helping unhappy, disatisfied people get it all out. I'm sure they're exceptions but really happy, content folks don't usually become artists and frequently artists best works come from a period when they were the least happy and least well adjusted.

I agree, and like love, to be any good or worth anything you got to hurt all over about it.

thats oh so true,but of course it also depends on who is suffering.

I know some people,when they feel bad they just get drunk and beat somebody up...they just cant think of anything else.

Well ,maybe their pain just isnt deep enough.
