I remember reading a poem in which Bukowski mentions a writer from "Rolling Stone" magazine. The guy kept pestering Buk to do an interview with him. They would both be paid a tidy sum. Ultimately Buk tells the guy to piss off. The last of the poem has a great line. It's something about reading the guy's stuff and it was as if he was on speed, flogging the reader with pieces of his soul.
That sure sounds as if Buk is referring to Hunter S. Thompson. I just wondered if anyone knew for sure.
Also, does anyone know what the true identity is of the folk singer from "Women", Dinky? He sat on Bukowski's floor and played ten songs for him. And Bukowski actually didn't rip them all to shreds, seemed to rather enjoy them to a certain degree.
