"Michael Madsen recently announced his newest title: Expecting Rain, to be published by 13 Hands Publications and released in December 2012. Readers are in for surprises in this forthcoming, colorized combination of poetry and photography in the style of American Badass and Signs of Life." (update July 2011) -- link in description.

[BigBruinekool]

Micheal Madsen's a Bukowski fan for sure.

[PromosbyRicochet]

@BigBruinekool Yes he sure is :). Thanks for watching.

[nomadchopper]

Great hsit glad see I am not only one who went thourgh some insane shit. I hear this makes me feel normal thank you Madsen!!

[WatchMyAwesomeVideo2]

He's talented but I don't get the appeal of this poem. Especially since some of this actually happened

[PromosbyRicochet]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideo2 What do you mean SOME of this actually happened?

[WatchMyAwesomeVideo2]

@PromosbyRicochet Wll, it's hard to believe he experience all of this but you learn something everyday

[PromosbyRicochet]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideo2 A lot of things thats happened to Michael are hard to believe actually. I didn't mean my previous comment in a rude way either, I was on the phone at the time and wasn't paying much attention lol. Michael has said that his writings are social commentaries of things that have happened to him and things he has observed.

[WatchMyAwesomeVideo2]

@PromosbyRicochet No offense taken and I actually laughed when you said "SOME" in bold case letters.

But if he observed it then yes that's more plausible.

[PromosbyRicochet]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideo2 This stuff was his life. Others were observations. Are you familiar with much of Michael's poetic works? He has out 8 books and is working on his 9th. What do you feel isn't something that could have happened to him?

[WatchMyAwesomeVideo2]

@PromosbyRicochet I recalled his parent's divorce, being in gangs and others things he mentioned there since he mentioned them in a radio interview.

When it got to all these murders and having sex with a hooker, I was like "WTF?"

Yes, I'm aware of the poetry he's released. I'd like to hear more but last time I checked, it wasn't on iTunes

[PromosbyRicochet]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideo2 I listened again, but didn't hear anything about murders??? His friends all died though if that's what you meant. This was written many years ago but yes he did say I like whores. No I don't believe any of his poetry is on iTunes nor will it be probably. The recordings were done many years ago for his older books, and are hard to find (2 CD's). He hasn't done CD's for any of his new stuff.

[WatchMyAwesomeVideo2]

@PromosbyRicochet Sorry, I recalled some sort of death mention and used that term.

Well, at least I'll check out anything he's in even if the movie's not of great quality. He should make a big comeback. If similar actors like Eric Roberts or Lance Henricksen get a chance, he should too. He's kinda under the radar again since producers only want him to be a bad guy. And despite appearing in his pal Tarantino's film & making guest-spots on 24 & CSI, he could be in something like Expendables 2

[PromosbyRicochet]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideo2 No worries. Just wanted to address it, thought maybe I was missing something.

Agreed. Hopefully a comeback is right around the corner for him.

If you search Michael Madsen poetry on here there are a few more videos.

Have you read any of Michael's books or are you just mainly interested in listening to them instead?

[WatchMyAwesomeVideo2]

@PromosbyRicochet Can't find his books anywhere at stores but I'll be sure to check out the other videos.

Gotta go now. See you around.

[PromosbyRicochet]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideo2 Your best bet is ordering offline. I will change the links in the description since I can not post a link here.

[PromosbyRicochet]

@JohnLockePicard You're an ass. He doesn't call it poetry. He doesn't think of himself as a poet, that's how his people market it though.

[stephie4066]

beautiful...

Hello Michael. Kenny was a great guitarist and a great friend of mine too. I miss him. I also miss having beers with you and Billy. You became a movie star and I became a published writer. So through all the crab we went through, all the travesties and hardships, was part of a higher plan. We should hook up and chat some time. God rest Wayne too ....

[FireFists0000007]

Is this all true?

[PromosbyRicochet]

Yes, Michael has said that it is.

[Nowar2008]

Yes it is true i did two of these events with Michael, but I'd rather not say. Kenny who died was a great kid and one of the best guitarist around. Marty was a fireman another great guy.

[xxDolllFacexx]

mmmmmmmm

[dria1307]

mikes my uncle :)

[PromosbyRicochet]

aaww that's precious ^-^!

[Helivz]

Wow, thats a lot of trials and hardships to go thru for one person. I saw him act in "Beyond The Law." He played his part well. Given the background and experiences he went thru gave him that extra edge.

[mmaxsters]

michael madsen is a cool actor, one of the best....

[boyofbootle]

Hey Mike i think we have all had some shit happen to us all. Its just a case of how to deal with it all. Anyway i hope you, your wife, your kids and your family in general are happy. I think your a great actor and i hope you have made a lot of cash from your career. Take care Mike.

[yabi6425]

great video and poem

[yabi6425]

wow! great poetry, read in one of his interviews that he was not going to write anymore, shame this is brilliant

[Malikiliki]

I love this poem so frikkin' much. The word choice and phrasing is fantastic.

He's fantastic.

[claricefell]

Michael Madsen is so....raw. Everything about him is completely honest, as evident by his vivacious acting and here in this beautiful poem. He is truthful but not vulnerable...it's kinda like he throws himself out there with a mischievously sexy smile and a big "f*** you!"

[kuckhier]

You found the right words !!!

Thanx !!!

[dessiefish]

brilliant.great to hear poetry relevant to the real world.anybody who's ever lived can relate to whats been said here.antbody who cant relate hasnt lived.

[myhearthasahalo]

Dude he is messed up...I hope that in 20 or so years he sheds less tears...clean living has it's perks I guess...life can be crazy...go feed the homeless lol

[PromosbyRicochet]

One would like to think that he does shed less tears now. ** side note - "Tears" was written in like 1993.

[TMackovids3]

yeah nobody else is laughing out loud shut up. Atleast he has the guts to write a poem, let's see you do it smartarse

[pang5]

We don't know that myheart hasn't. Maybe myheart isn't famous enough to garner enough publicity for you to know about his/her poetry.

I love Madsen but telling others to shut up is pretty poor argument.

[Sharkbabee]

Thank you for posting this. It used to be on his website and when it was no longer there, I was bummed. You rock for appreciating the beauty of his words. Thanks again!
