Buddhism itself is not new age but it is classed into that category and those that practice new age beliefs. The way that Buk presents Linda in "Women" she is most definitely a new age nut. She ran a health food store, worshiped breyer baba (or maha rishi, whatever) and had all these cooky...

Interesting. Thanks. Didn't know there was still the 60's revolutionary small time art thing going around in these cynical times. I missed a couple of things in this thread it seems. Nope i'm not a trucker Gerard, just a lay about. Hi Vodka, didn't know there where any other hardcore Buk fans...

Wow I just logged on to ask this very question. Interesting, even though it didn't really answer my questions. So that's it though huh, the buddhism thing was Linda Lees thing and Bukowski was kind of anti-religous to the end? I've always found it interesting that he ended up meditating at the...

No night train? Good god man, what kind of crummy liquor stores are in your area? How about some madd dogg 20/20 or thunderbird! If you're really desperate kool aid + cheap red wine (preferably in the box) Pot is fine now and again. But i'm kind of biased since i'm from Oregon, no such...

Modern drunkard is an actual magazine published in I think Colorado. They have many (but not all) of their articles online and are really interesting reads. I'd link to them but i'm kind of lazy so just google it, shouldn't be hard to find. I've wasted many a day reading their stuff... most of...

Thanks Father Luke I was beginning to think my question was maybe too personal. I love to hear anything about Neal too since there's only so much written out there on him.

Through the beats, I was reasearching them and found a link to related material. Bukowski isn't a beat writer but he wrote at the same time and had the same "free spirit" vibe. I was intrigued by the poems of his that where online so I went to a book store and picked up "women" and to this...

Maybe it makes you laugh or cry tears, both perhaps. Negative or positive just give a scene and explain how it touched you and in what way. For me I'd have to say several scenes in Ham on rye. When Henry walks home with the kid who shares his potato chips with him. It's so hearbreaking...

You should stick to the classics. What's the word: Thunderbird

Heh, heh, heh. Thanks guys. Yeah Neal Cassady is my muse along with Bukowski. Kerouac is great in small doses, interspersed with the special kool aid. I'd rather have a few cheap beers and read Bukowski thought. Love to hear from the oregonians the only contact I've had with Bukowski fans here...

I have been reading this site for about two or three years now. Finally given in to temptation and i've "j'ined" up so I can share my opinions (poor as they are compared to you Bukcypedias) As for Bukowski i've had a love affair with the mans work since I was about 18, i'm 25 now and still...
