Bukowski

[cgreat14]

what the fuck....everyone wants an answer....I don't have any....I don't care..just give me the fucken money...it sure cures alot or stops the bleeding for awhile. chaz

[FatAndJolly]

I don't know why you would expect someone who is NOT Bukowski to read like Bukowski, you retarded fucks.

[ScottMasson]

I thought the reading of it was pretty good. 

[srfrr]

The dick of a reader actually left out one of the lines! What a useless shit!

[zpodlady]

Fucke'm all wise and criticising...if thats what they have to say here..let them be..and fucke'm all

[Barklord]

I like it too. Cheers

[QueenMab214]

Very touching poem--I like how Bukowski respects his fans even as he acknowledges he can't really help them.

[babyfacedraver]

hey, your reading is awesome, you sound like him. really great ! YOu should do more reading. Screw the others

[vinoberg]

Mojo man, I like the reading. Don't mind the others. Taters gonna tate, as they say.

[sclogse1]

Well, thanks for introducing me to this poem. We all trip up...but you should have caught the error before uploading.

I thought the beginning was good...but charlie would not leaned on some of the words like you do...his delivery is much flatter...not that you have to imitate him, tho.

[Willybird37]

you missed a line.. and your reading sucks. poetry fail.

[sonicboom]

You missed a line.

[blindspotted]

fuck all this reading/delivery crap. he's dead, which means the only way to get his word audibly heard for poems he hasnt already recited means to read it. i know its trite, and looses meaning in the preocess... but theres still some sorta visceralness in it. so cut the guy some slack and write/read ur own poems if thats what u want 2 hear. sorry, its late and im bitter and appreciative at the same time. im sure theres plenty spelling errors, so that should make all u other ppl happy. good nite

[doretgar]

@blindspotted Right ON!

[poptube87]

sounds more like mike watt

[MishuTaste]

I think people want to connect with something meaningful. I would've liked meeting Charles Bukowski. When I first read his work, I discovered that poetry wasn't just the lame stuff I read in high school--the kind of poetry I hated. It could be written in a way that's personal. That was his gift to me: inspiration.

[postalsock]

Why do you try to talk like him? You cannot do it.

[sxybstrd25]

I don't like the reading either.

[supercow1990]

Jesus. Learn to read. lol

[petermoala]

to miss a line is unforgivable. the reading should have been slower, more expressive, greater enunciation on end of lines. no offense, but why bother reading another's work.

[lifesaHitcH]

I think you miss the point.

[yucelyucel]

bad reading.

[raitiovainu]

Good stuff !

[Borreichon]

my number is listed

[colbyVas]

you forgot,~or want to be writers~

[ghostwolf9]

Yah, the reading was OK, maybe not excellent, but you get an idea. I might say that seriously, your accent's too American, and the reading was to fast, I imagine -and emphasize, it's my imagination, because so far I haven't found a video of Bukowski himself-, that CB would've read it a bit slower, with more silences/ pauses. But it's much better than other videos read in Spanish.

[olbap69]

dont like the reading

[llamamebrucelee]

Perfect.

[BerrymanDrunkPoet]

Good reading, good poem, good Bukowski collection it was culled from.

[AhYaOk]

yeah baby

[DeadontheThrone]

Great poem, Terrible reading.

[mojo4mojo]

I can't say I like my reading, but some people do, like pleasemallorie (the post preceding yours). I remember not thinking too much about my reading until after I posted the video, which then seemed too damn late to make changes.

[jbearden]

@mojo4mojo There's not a damn thing wrong with the reading.

[pleasemallorie]

yes very good reading of a very good poem

good taste, friend, and this is one of the few readings that I actually really enjoy

you even sound a bit like Bukowski....

you know how he spoke

a bit sarcastic at times, wasn't he?

again, wonderful job thanks for posting

[SchuleDesNichts]

good reading

[Bukowski91]

You really moved me here m8.

[shnaaarf]

great book

[chainsawbaby23]

gercekten mukemmel otesi bir yazar,sair,alkolik.ozellikle yazdiklarinda kara mizah unsurlari gercekten etkileyici.ama bu kara mizah unsurlarinin icinde huzunde var.pis morugu gercekten cok seviyorum.

[drago25]

Horrible reading.

[fuatf]

verecek sevgimiz çok az.. çünkü aslında herkes sevilmei bekliyo

[andokoto]

the poem itself is by Bukowski but the work is not, for me it is a piece of fraud

[andokoto]

im not inspector gadget though

[andokoto]

when girls squirt their whole bodies seem to vibrate

[pleasemallorie]

where is that one from?

[alecsurer]

i love it!

[josefabdon]

yep, he was just another one of us fuckers, just fuckin around and trying to understand.

[Lutherdiggs]

bad reading.

[rovvy]

I don't like the way this dude delivers the poem one bit.

[SidMute]

and he wouldnt care one bit either, hed probably try to fight you......

[SidMute]

nm i didnt realize it wasnt him.....

[1itt1ed00d1e]

this is one of my favourite poems by bukowski. my introduction to him and it made me cry. because for all that this man was in the rawness of his life he desired what everyone else does. i'm so glad to know too that this was not his voice because he would never have sounded like this. and i don't even remember what he sounds like. this is a heartwrenching piece of writing. the man was a genius.

[hmpb88]

anyone knwos what song is this?

thaks

[113brillantinas]

hijo de putaaaaaaa

[specialist1970]

MOJO4MOJO... it all good mate!

Ever heard: nicanor parra, vicente huidobro, rodrigo lira, pablo de rhoka? let me know what you think of these chilean born anti-poets...

[elcalugo]

grandes poetas desde el fin del mundo,¿antipoetas?,no me gusta mucho ese termino,es medio pajero.Rodrigo Lira no me gusta mucho y Huidobro,pf,me alucina.Don Nica un grande y De Rokha, a veces mas grande que Neruda,tambien su hermano.Saludos.

[salus2005]

bukowski was and remains a Pervert

[biggyshoes2]

if you can't stand the heat, take your cock out of the frying pan, salus2005.

[shikaka722]

lol what the fuck is that meant to say ? he liked women? so what? thats just natural isnt it?

[TehKratt]

So the reading was by you? Well maybe a little disappointing but I have to admit that you did a good job there. I at least enjoyed watching this.

[zeder76]

Standing ovation, men. This is Bukowski. Ciao Hank, mi manchi. And remember.... Don't try

[turnerj41]

i must say again, and maybe once more that you do suck at reading this not so much as having tried...yo'd be better off with original thought

[mmartine1umichedu]

Thanks for providing the poem to the masses...you suck for having "tried" to read this.

[dandap87]

I really liked your reading and the fact that you made the video to promote bukowski work. People take things waaay too seriously. I hope to see more videos like this one.

[stankler]

do your own thing man .

[barrettj1971]

This was pretty good. Some people were harsh toward it, i think, because it's not so much a presentation or even representation of Buk as it was an interpretation. This guy doesn't sound like Buk...but he's not trying to. Isn't that one of the signs of a great poet or painter or architect or anything else...that we all see and feel their work differently? All in all I would say this is OK.

[Greenlife79]

it`s not hank, but good reading performance

[mojo4mojo]

You are right. It's not Bukowski. It's me reading and I am happy to hear you like it because some people hate it. David

[ojoroto]

you skipped "or want to be writers" ;) Edition is cool, I would just removed the written stuff and add more images.

[kewpiesbadhairday]

I hope anybody hearing this does'nt actually think that that is the voice of Bukowski

[KristianCuban13]

i like this nice wana see it agian

[mojo4mojo]

Thanks glad to hear it.

[multuminparvo]

I liked it. : )

[mojo4mojo]

If you do a better one and send it, I'd be happy to get my voice off there and use yours. I agree; It could be much better (I actually omit a line too). I am used to writing, shooting, editing, but being the talent too is a not my forte. Hopefully it's not so bad it would serve Bukowski's work better deleted. I actually know the power of a poem well-read. When I heard a recording of Eliot reading "The Wasteland", it came alive for me. Thanks

[Pocketafro]

that was a good reading, just needs a little more understatement.

[Delaypat]

Nice!

[mojo4mojo]

Thanks

[Khymeira]

Lol
