    Bruce Springsteen

    There's a debate going on cause some Kiss member said that rock was over, blaming the new internet era and the way music is sold. Maybe I guess he wanted to state that "rock stars" are dead... But I see many bands like Priest that are, actually, grateful to their record companies, in the sense...

    Thank you very much, Zobraks. That was funny indeed (the recalling)... and it seems it was not THAT SERIOUS of a suicide attempt. ;)

    The senseless, tragic rape of Charles Bukowski’s ghost by John Martin’s Black Sparrow Press

    Good lord I didn't have a clue such crime was being commited. I can totally relate to you... if that was in music, that editor would be releasing "covers" of the original work, but as if it was the real thing!!! I´ve read the manuscript and the edited poem you´ve provided... That's revolting. I...

    The timeline

    I never would have guessed that he lost his virginity at 23 yo!!! Does he ever talk about this suicide attempt in 61? Glad he didn't suceed. 68 wouldn't be the same! And what are the facts behind it? Thanks for the great work. As a history teacher, this timeline is just wonderful for me.

    In how many languages was Bukowski translated ?

    In how many languages was Bukowski translated ?

    I´ve read Crime and Punishment in a brazilian edition that had no translating credits.(?!) Later I found that this particular Publisher was sued for plagiarism and that they took the work of an old translator that is not in the same league as new ones available. After this experience, I´m a bit...

    Have Bukowski ever got you a date?

    I write this cause two years from now I was walking my dog around a new place and I saw a girl call her dog: "Buk!!! Bukowski!!!! Come over here!!!!!!" I could´n help but to start a chat with her. That same day we went out drinking (yeah, she was a heavy drinker) and I ended up in her bed. The...

    In how many languages was Bukowski translated ?

    Hi there. Two of my brazilian Buk's. I like the translation... but I´m going for the originals right now. Well... I´m a writer myself. Dream of translating some unseen work in portuguese language. I have two or three more brazilian books...but I´m a bit drunk to search for them right now. Those...
