Def a CIA hit

God made Bukowski as an experiment. He gave him insight, wisdom and the gift of lanugage, but deliberately offset it with alcoholism, belligerence and a season in hell as a child, at the hands of his father. One of the best and most honest writers ever to breath. Who carried a joke that God played on him on his shoulders. Read his fiction. Read his poetry.

I really hate how we take everything an artist who ended their life wrote as a clue for why they did it. People like Curtis, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake were complex individuals and treating their art like it’s just a confessional diary is very disrespectful.

I read The Bachman Books, funnily enough, when I was in the psych ward for SI with Rage being the first story I read in the book. I remember thinking it was a wild book to have in the psych ward, where there were multiple people with homicidal ideations, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I can think of no greater gift on one's deathbed than to be read of forward about how you affected the artistic life of a great novelist, do you suddenly find out your art eas such an inspiration when you go on your whole life thinking that it hadn't mattered must be a great comfort as you reach your last days

I read Ask the Dust years ago. It is a poingant work, especially to a wanna- be novelist, as I was at the time....... But it was certainly way ahead of its time I can see how it wasn't widely popular, then or now........ It gave me, an American version of Notes from The Underground vibes

HL Mencken is what's missing from journalism today

I read my first Stephen King novel far too early, my mum was, and still is, a big fan. I stole one she’d read and ploughed through it! After that first read I was hooked, at 11/12 I was fascinated, now at 36 I sleep with a nightlight 😅 He doesn’t just get into your head, he gets into your bones, your DNA. One of my favourite writers of all time!

This video is fucking boring as fuck

Eh I'm more of cognac guy 😏 Salud 🥃

At least it not like the books now days that shows kids how to bee Jay or put things up where the sun don’t shine. Creepy books for sure. P.s I’m. It religious so

Uncharacteristic? 😂

To kill a mockingbird banned? It was required reading at highschool in NZ. I can’t even remember what it was about, I guess I didn’t enjoy it much. I do have catcher in the rye at the moment, got it precisely because I heard it had been banned.

"Back door?"🤣😂😅

Stephen King Keyser Sözed us

A REAL Zen Master, Bukowski doesn't let anyone idolize him. He knocks him down, spits on him, and calls him weak and stupid for having a slob, and a drunkard as a ''hero.'' So the pointy bearded, alcoholic Alan Watts, all hip slick and cool looks like the Cambridge fop and jackass that he was when he sports his Buddha beads and Nehru jacket. The shaved headed D.T. Suzuki swans around wealthy in silk robes with his shaved head and the pretense of enlightenment, but he can't find reality with both hands holding his bank book. Bukowski is a pure source.

Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm pleasantly surprised to see such unique and top shelf videos. Just subscribed and I'm excited to binge your channel. You deserve way more subscribers.

I like the Stephen King quote. I also appreciate that you say they made their work, despite their struggles and not because of them.

Henry was a king. There is no complete diagnosis on the human condition without Charles Bukowski.

🖤🖤🖤🍻

Doesn't he look a lil like kiki camarena, the murdered CIA

Being now in my 70's of lifelong learning, experience, observation, creativity, understanding, re-examination 24/7 365. The doorway to creative utopia exists, as does the doorway to cerebral dystopia. It is a revolving doorway that is both the entrance and exit to each 'topia' where the conscious cognoscentient being must choose one or the other to spend periods of residence, periods that eventually blend into an existence that only reveals itself in the creative act. Love always T.

I didn't know that Ian Curtis was a Nektar fan. That's pretty cool. Then again, that shouldn't be too surprising givrn Isn's interests.

nerds trying to burn a legend.

Let’s goooooooooooooo

I absolutely love this insane stuff . True love

Classic

I see so he was on the side of Franco. Also for people who may not know the Republicans were Communist/Socialist/anarchists.

My beliefs are that it’s from some sort of frustration or distraction going on in a person’s life. It’s harder to think and write if you have so many other things you have to handle. I’ve noticed when I’m in school I’m simply not as strong as a writer as I am in the summer.

Well, what did they expect?

When i was in college back in the 90s a guy who ran a comic book store showed me a theater adaptation someone had done of Rage at one point.

Maybe humanity was a bad idea.

I read the book Yawn.

what a couple

honestly a book by ian curtis or even a book written in his style would be so cool

Screw Stephen King and his politics.

Congrats on an awesome video.

There was once a British stage show called 'Jerry Springer: The Opera'. A Christian advocacy group was determined to shut it down, and eventually succeeded, which only made me determined to acquire it on DVD.

Dont think martin has a writer block, he produced in this years two book in the universe, and all the lore for elden ring and works on a lot of other stuff too. I think his writing process is just to specific and slow, he already said that for the mereenese knot he wrote 3 versions of quentins arrival to mereen, and that was to give an example, he probably wrote a lot more chapters that never made to the final book. For the winds of winter i think he will have a lot more of that, he has so many caracters joining up, so he can write not just a lot of versions of how the story goes but a lot of this versions being told by a lot of different caracters, so he has a lot of work not just to see how is the better way for the story to go but which caracter better fits to tell a certain part of the story. That why he is taking so long, he is writing not just one book but several books at once and diferent versions of wich one of this books. And thats whats make his books amazing. And people forget that feast and dance are exentialy the same books, so took him 10 years to write it more or less, so he is not writing slower his story just got a lot more complicated to write with his writing process

Thanks!

God, who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Encouragement

Reminds me of Oliver Reed getting drunk on After Dark. Getting drunk on every TV interview actually 🤣

This is the first short I've ever seen that was informative, engaging and had a complete story arc. Well done.

Why did they keep bailing him out? Especially his mil??

Is the host French Mr Bean?

"Ask the Dust" is next in my reading queue after I finish reading, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

charles was unironically the reincarnation of diogenes.

Oh shut up . In my state of mind this depressing crap
