Bukowski's Influence on Musicians (1 Viewer)

[vodka]

I was wondering who knows which musicians have admitted to Bukowski being an influence, aside from U2?

I remember his name making an appearance in a Red Hot Chili Peppers song, and I remember one of Black Flag's albums being titled 'War All the Time.'

I'm really ignorant regarding this topic, but also pretty curious, so don't make fun of me, Gerard. gawd.

And if a topic like this has already been started, I apologize in advance.

Apology accepted. ;)

Try bands that drop Bukowskis name or reference his stuff...

But vodka you are so easy. You can handle it all by yourself.

I can tell you about RV salesmen who cite Bukowski as an influence.;)

 

[vodka]

exactly how would an RV salesman use his Bukowskian influences to succeed in his job?

 

[jmoshea]

he sells RVs to twenty-something, male, wanna-be-poets saying "Bukowski would have driven this."

Sometimes it is okay to hate people.

Hey, that's my motto!

I remember one of Black Flag's albums being titled 'War All the Time.'

Hi Jen;
Black Flag had an album called "My War", Poison Idea had an album called "War All The Time". To make matters more confusing, Black Flag had a bass player that went by the name "Chuck Dukowski".

... Poison Idea had an album called "War All The Time".

but wasn't that after the autobiography of George W. Bush?

 

[vodka]

Father Luke, thank you!

Bill, was it Poison Idea that did War All the Time? I should know that. I live in Portland and grew up listening to and watching Poison Idea play.

That's funny about the 'Chuck Dukowski' though. laughing.

Thanks for the knowledge, both of you.
