Charles Bukowski

Post by 93Regina »

In 1993, candid conversations between Charles Bukowski, his wife, and
his producer took place in Bukowski’s home during the recording
session for his classic Run With the Hunted.

We brought the outtakes to life for HarperCollins

He was interesting as a drinker.

Mickey Rourke, and Matt Dillon, respectively had done decent jobs in portrayals of him.






"Barfly" and "Factotum"
He had invented words, of which spellcheck does not always seem to recognize.

Perhaps Hunter S. Thompson also:

"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me."

"I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they’ve always worked for me."

"It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top."

I fear and loathe H.S.

I might start a new thread for Hunter. Gonzo had a ton of them.

“If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.”

“I was not proud of what I had learned but I never doubted that it was worth knowing.”

-H.S. Thompson.
