Although Hank probably wouldn'a gave a shit, as long as he got some cheddar to bet on the horses and buy some more California Red. I think he was more of the mind that once he had written the words and sold them through the publisher, they were really no longer "his" as much as they were anyone's, at least anyone who didn't pay. And I absolutely love the dude as a personal hero and touchstone of character

WTFCANUDU Says:

May 18, 2012 - So don't get me wrong. I just don't think he cared probably as much as we do.

May 29, 2012 - Tom Waits is the perfect person to read a Bukowski poem. They're both cut from the same fabric that working class blues soul of a poet in a blue collar world. I love it. ^-^
