I dont know where you send your kids to school but im not even close to forty but i knew what castro looked like when i was ten. every guy with abeard looks the same right?
Anyone ever see...
...Oliver Stone's film "Commandante"? Its a portrait of Castro. Pretty interesting. If anything Castro is, for better or for worse, a living legend and has walked thru the fire in his own brave way.
One good scene: Stone asks Castro if he ever sees a shrink and C answers that he never has. Stone is baffled by this and just can't understand that a man living under such constant pressure can take the strain without seeing a psychiatrist. Heh heh. Now that IS a typical American way of seeing things...:rolleyes:
Did Buk ever see a shrink. Oh yeah, the one during WWII: "Hides his sensitivity under a tough exterior..."

It was a short note from Buk to John Martin (from 1991) telling him that he just signed a couple books to Fidel Castro. He mentions that he has no politics, but that it's time that he read some Black Sparrow, what?
Best,

Thanks Bill.
Now we have Another reason to invade Cuba, don't we? A collector's reason! We GOT to get hold of these very rare signed books!
(could become the first REAL danger for Castro's state - I'm pretty sure he didn't consider the ruthless endurance and power of Bukowski-collectors in his defense-budget. haha)
I've heard that the ground work is all laid out. All the companies that got kicked out in '59 will go back and pick-up where they left off. Don't know if that's true, but given recent historical events, I can see the Texas Mafia or some other incarnation of Corporate America jumping right in. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.
How's that for cynicism?

No, but the oil companies behind him can...:D
Castro Si, Bushwacker No !!!
To continue my bastardized Freudian analysis, the only reason JFK launched the so called " space race" so quickly in the 1960's was to regain his balls after the invasion of Cuba was such a disaster. To paraphrase Ali, "I ain't got no quarrel with the Cubans or Castro." Bushwacker and the slimey cocksuckers he brought consume all my hatered (except of course for formalistic and rhyming poets and the NY Yankees).
But peace to all you brothers and sisters.
As usual MJP hits a bullseye. I decided a long time ago that there are enough enemies for me in the good old US of A. Why look abroad for media created "monsters"? What did Muhhamed Ali say, " I ain't got no quarrel against the Viet Cong." Today Ali is a hero everywhere in the world but in the 1960's, like Castro, he became an object of villification in the good old US of A. A black Muslim heavyweight champion was too bitter a pill for white America to swallow since the boxing arena, even for unathletic men is the ultimate symbol of manhood. Thus Floyd Patterson, the incarnation of the subordinate black,ironically became the "White Hope'' in 1967 when he fought Ali. What Patterson and others could not do in the ring was done by the US Boxing Commission that stripped Ali for three and one-half years for refusing to make war against other Third-World peoples. Ali 's title was returned to him after the black rebellion of 1964-1967 faded into another dark period of American history. But the recognition of Cuba still waits for reasons best known to the CIA and American Presidents. Shit, even that crooked bastard Nixon recognized China so American workers could be displaced by greedy American corporations who outsource their products like lead based fucking toys for children so they can turn an even bigger profit.
