Bukowski Movie

Accidentally, I stumbled upon a Bukowski documentary that is now playing in a small number of theaters.

There happens to be a theater playing it that is not too far away, but it is a pain in the ass to get to and to park. My voice is really bothering me, and I'm under so much stress to get my computer program out, that I just said, "fuck it." I said the same thing when Joe Strummer came to a city about an hour away from Boston, where I live. I told myself I'd catch Strumm when he toured again. But that didn't happen. Now Strumm is dead and I'll never get to see my teenage hero. But the thing is, Buk is already dead. I'll never see Buk do a poetry reading.

Perhaps I'm just rationalizing my decision not to see the Buk documentary. Yet I fully recommend that people go. He is considered by some to rival Ginsberg in poetry. I knew of him mostly from his fiction, which is crass, subversive, extremely funny, and, at times, pretty misogynistic.

I have stayed away from Bukowski worship, as he is revered as a cult God by too many. And I tend to stay away from things that get too hyped up and popular.

I would have liked to have seen the flick. If it was only playing at an art-house that was more convenient. Fuck it...
