Weekly Music Review: Dead City Radio

[Captain PirateFace]

If this album tickled yer fancy, check out any audio or video recording of Charles Bukowski, man was genius.

I like Bukowski myself, but strangely Bukowski hated Burroughs.

A book CD combo is a great idea. I absolutely recommend hearing him before reading him. It makes it ever so much easier.

JediScum, you are completely correct..
I remember Bukowski jabbing Burroughs in one of his books saying something along the lines of Burroughs sitting at a bar crying in his beer after selling the movie rights to "Naked Lunch" for the amount of what it cost to buy a case of beer... or something along those lines.

I think Bukowski just generally disliked the "Beat" poets because someone always tried to group him in with that whole crew and Bukowski believed himself to be very far off from that whole click.
