    Roger Ebert Correspondent Article on Barfly

    "[...]but the apartment building where Wanda lives turned out to be the one where Bukowski and his lover, the real-life counterpart of Wanda, actually lived." Interesting. Is this true? If so it must have amused Buk at the time. How strange real life can be sometimes.

    When there is no book, what is a press?

    MJP, you're wrong. I teach and the kids may not know the name of all four mop tops, but they sure as hell know who the Beatles are. And the Stones. And Dylan. Some of them at least. And if they don't know the names they at least know some songs. Thats a lot more than I know about todays pop...

    My friend has 3 manuscripts to sell (The Unofficial Cornelis Vreeswijk thread)

    OK Roni, though I guess Bukfan already said what needed to be said. The thing about Vreeswijk is that he is a sort of blend between the blues and swedish folk songs. An acquired taste, yes, some not knowing Swedish folk music might even say weird. :wb: Another thing: His bio sort of reminds me...

    Yes. Plenty! Love his songs. Have you seen last years film based on his bio? Pre-tty good. Previous lead singer of Turbonegro, Hank von Helvete, has the lead role.

    My friend has 3 manuscripts to sell (The Unofficial Cornelis Vreeswijk thread)

    Don't you listen to these hucksters Carla. Your friend's tactic is definitely the right one. Here's an example of the same tactic: The painting SCREAM, by Edvard Munch was hidden from the public eye for over 50 years. Hardly anyone had ever seen it and no one was certain of how it looked. A...

    Interview with Lee Mallory about Bukowski:

    Where? In a poem from the 70s? I know he (or at least Neeli C.) mentioned Xmas trees in his San Pedro years, but in the 70s?...

    Interview with Lee Mallory about Bukowski:

    I like the fact about Buk having an xmas tree in his apartment in the early 70-s. That's a myth buster. I suppose he did it for Marina's sake.

    chuck berry reviews new music in 1980

    "If you want to wallow in sorrow go listen to some blues records." Nice! I've read very few interviews with Berry. And is there a decent bio about him? I've never seen one.
