Charles Bukowski - American author
Came across Bukowski on another forum when someone posted a little bit of 'Roll the Dice' and it stuck. I live many of those words as an artist.
So now I've read
Post Office
Hollywood
Ham on Rye
working on the rest
I once worked at the Post Office in the summer of 1992 when I was in college my experiences were different but many similarities also did a short film in Hollywood and saw many of the things he wrote about while making a film. Ham on Rye, well, who has had a 'normal' child hood?
Haven't we all been through beatings by drunken step dads? Molested by uncles.... oh that's my story....
Most of the Bukowski Tapes, I could find, I have posted at dailymotion
[Removed link to commercially available stuff - support the creators. - ed.]
My favorite tape is #37 when he talks about skid row, there are people who are thrown down there, the "cockroach people" and he just wanted to escape.
To me, there's a lot of truth in "Roll the Dice", I hope to find others here whom also live by this.
