Nazi claim clouds future of writer's home
I wonder what Bukowski would of thought about whether his whole in the wall should be a historical site.
I went thrifting and music shopping, yesterday and picked up quite a find. The record store across the street from my apartment, Budget Tapes and Records, has been holding some gems in its always filled racks of used cds. Besides, I had ordered Red Medicine, but couldn't ever pay for it.
But the real diamond that I picked up was Hostage. It is a recording of a poetry reading by Bukowski from 1980 at a reading in Redondo Beach, California. I sat there in my green banana chair constantly rocking back and forth from the hilarity of it all. He is constantly picking fights with everyone, and it isn't like any poetry reading I have ever been to. People are constantly yelling lude comments to him, whistling, howling, and clapping. Even the jokes that he tells in between his poems(and there are a lot of them) are reminiscent of his poetry. He has a poetic put-down ability that he constantly uses against the audience. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys his poetry or fiction.
