Literature? That sounds like Bukowski saying "Sexual Intercourse" instead of screwing or fucking. I smell Martin all over the sheets...
Thanks, hank solo! Finally a correct Buk quote on Facebook even though it's just a quotation Buk used in a poem. :hmh:That phrase appears as a quotation in the poem Writer's Block.
Here is the Bombay Gin version:The poem did appear in Bombay Gin in 1991, so that could be checked for changes. You know, if you have that issue.
Rock and Roll Dreams is full of uncertainty, but it's ultimately an album of conviction. Only one member of Temperance League has yet to turn 30. Their second-youngest member recently became a father. The pressures of life continually threaten their musical dreams. But Hazel pledges allegiance to a dictum attributed to Charles Bukowski: "Find what you love and let it kill you."
"After we made the record and listened back to it, that quote kept popping up in my mind," Hazel recalls. "That was the best way I could describe it. Something's going to kill you eventually, so it might as well be a love. That's what Rock and Roll Dreams is to me."
Indeed! I don't recall Buk ever using that word.audible is suspicious
Misquoted, yes, but all they are saying is that the dictum is attributed to Bukowski, not that it is written by him. These days you have to be grateful for whatever little piece of comfort you can get.
