    Candidate Middle of Left-Right Center - some revisionist history

    OK! A point of agreement! jm IS responsible, as editor, even if he didn't make the changes. The fact that there were 100s of changes made, in the books he edited, DOES beg the question if he or the type-setter/butler did it, but ok, let that lie til its "proved". Any way, the responsibility...

    Candidate Middle of Left-Right Center - some revisionist history

    So, Cirerita, you think that perhaps, late in life, Buk starting removing references to drink in his poems? OK, why not... He did stop drinking & smoking didn't he? I bet he stopped swearing too. Maybe he even started praying. Whatever - the question is: Would you like to see the posthumous...

    Candidate Middle of Left-Right Center - some revisionist history

    Good find Nymark. But: Are you preposing that the obvious and numerous edits to the posthumous collections be ignored? OK, so JM did a good job when Buk was alive, knowing that Buk was there to correct him. Acknowledged. But the collections put out after Buk's death, well, the edits there are...

    Drugs & Alcohol

    I'd put it this way: talent, endurance and hard, diligent work are more important than any chemical influence. There isn't any shortcut.

    I watched an episode and really didn't understand the hype. Later that night, in bed, I found myself chuckling over and over about the women for women shop. Can't put my finger on it, but I love those crazy gals...

    A Penis Short Story

    Good laughs in this thread. Many thanks. The Popemobile?:D

    A need for glue:

    True enough - its actually an ok video Buk uses an "uncommon" word in the first line: "echelon". In his early period he was still trying to be "literary".

    Noel Rockmore, Bukowski, Gypsy Lou Webb

    Didn't Jon Webb "invent" a famous blurb for one of Buk's books? I vaguely remember something like that. Bet Gybsy learned that trick from him. My guess is Gypsy Lou couldn't resist... Don't blame her!
