    De Longpre

    Didn't know Carlton Way fell down...Sh*t happens, here in L.A. While De Longpre has that well worn feel, Been looking around Silver Lake/Echo Park too... Pretty nice neighborhood, sorta upper-middle for Los Angeles; It's neat and kinda odd how much the vibe can distinctly change from one...

    Bukowski: Born Into This

    gee, I liked the movie :) True, not much in the "preconcieved ideas about Bono) Bashing?, hahaha! It's all good...(funny, too) Honest, 2 me what he read seemed genuine, and Since Bono (already) HAS fame...why would he sign up?? Has money, too. Just my 2 cents...

    Pulp Fiction is Punk

    Pulp fiction is anti-hero, malign protagonist, absurd hero... With black (comedy) humor...IMO. Absurdist, in a way. Black humor, too, is significant. Thay say Celine (who's stories remind of Pulp Fiction) Popularized black humor - I saw it back to Voltair...Celine is fully "modern" in his black...

    Why do you like Bukowski?

    Gotta agree w/ the above... The writing, and "who he was" All... Misleading the reader...stumbling, reader doesn't expect beauty, or the profound...

    Short Story Collections

    love all the Bukowski short story collections... Think the short story books are a great place to start...and finish! These compilations DO seem to go well w/ Sept-Stew. :) Honest, think the short story books probably long term faves...

    It is the "main" biography of his life that U'll find in the PL. Lots of personal stuff, a good book. Explored around east of 101 up around Sunset-hOllywood Blvd; Pretty neat...Some things I enjoy seeing; The occasional super-old weathered (neon) signs...Some of the old (and run down)...

    It's an attitude...dude. :) Quakes? What quakes...? There are a surprising number of pre-1940's buildings around here (mid-wilshire) They have not fallen...yet.

    have i read fante? No, went for the Celine/Genet tour...Have not read Genet's plays eg: The Maids. But will... Gravitated to non-fiction; James Brown autobiography Hammer Of The Gods, a book about Led Zeppelin. And A book about Zappa; a fascinating musical bad-ass. Re: Henry Rollins, honestly...

    Old, (sorta). But still going...now living in L.A. This is a good time in the city, great town IMO. -am wondering if anyone gets together to visit/Put flowers on Bukowski's stone?? Have read all his prose, some poems. Bukowski has kinda become a distant God-uncle for me, I know that might...
