Happy Birthday to an American Original


Tom Waits reading Bukowski


I have a thing for Bukowski. He is the dark side of the American Dream, and he wrote about it with an openness (or is it a rawness) that was as shocking as it was profound.

Wherever you are, I hope the beer is cheap and cold, and the women are the same. There would be a symmetry to that.
