Be careful. Questioning someone who insults me makes you a sheep in their eyes. They find it impossible to believe that you could find anything they say to be idiotic without my direct influence or intervention.

Baaa!

Ahh, fear not! Buk will never be mainstream (he would turn in his grave) but I know for a fact that he is being taught to at least one select group of young Parisiennes on an annual basis.

Actually, I think he is mainstream now. I hear references to Bukowski on sitcoms. His books sell like crazy. He's in mall bookstores. They've made films based on his books. I don't know how he could be more mainstream. This is not to say that his art is mainstream. But his art has been around long enough to have become a standard among an element of the population looking for alternative points of view. Much like Kerouac, Brautigan, J. D. Salinger.

The main stream shifts it's banks regularly.

I forgot about this thread. I am glad to have revisited it, if only to be reminded of my place in the scheme of things. There is a very cliche' saying that comes to mind here:
'Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.'
I think Bukowski might agree, well, only if mjp says it Okay. CRB:)
