so you took the time to make and upload a video about someone you think is "crap" huh? you must be a real fucking moron. So let's see your brilliant bullshit poesy, you inflated faggot.
Bono's fucking existence on this sadly would make me never watch it again...stupid,pretentious reading by someone who probably has no REAL connection with Hanks works. I know he went to a U2 show and all that but Bono is such a twat that it takes something away from all this...he's survived all this time...it's not fair...
hank writes about the human condition. we all lead lives unimaginable to one another. its his reality and relation of it with his imagination in prose that reaches so many different people that is spectacular. that said i resent those who are different from me and assume all human misery is the same. but i dont claim to be anything more than an ignorant peice...
Buk knew that God was in every sleazy bar and beer can and hooker's heart and nowhere else in this tuined modern world. Gotta give Bono kudos for bringing Buk to a wider audience. I think Cormac McCarthy must have meditated on "Born into This" before writing the "The Road."
bono... the man doesn't even know what it means to be the worker class, to have nothing, to be nothing... how the hell can he understand Buk?... sorry for my english, i'm from Argentina and i'm learning
I understood you quite well. you actually speak better english than a lot of people who's first and only language is english. and you're absolutely right.
I couldn't have put it better myself. He THINKS he understands Buk. Someone like him can never truly understand him though. Celebrities don't live in the real world. To them, Buks' writings are works of fiction. Bunch of assholes really.
i've been living the bukowski's life since i was 14. now i'm 23, so i know what i meen. can anyone tell me if Bono have ever been sleepin' on a dirty park, or if he ever have been down and out? that's what i mean!
thanks man, and again... sorry if i make a mistake with my english!
bonos mother died at her fathers funeral when he was a young boy and he grew up in ireland, he cant read hank at all, but he knows about suffering..... do you ?
well, i've been living on the streets for a long time, i grown up without a father, and when i was 18 i discovered that he is a cocaine addict... i live in a latin american country, filled with corruption and no-oportunities for nobody (except if you have friends with influences, or if you have money, or if you are corrupt as them). i know what it means to be HUNGRY, and i know what it means to be all alone... is that enough suffering for you?
estas rapado boludo Mexico esta peor, aqui las mujeres parecen hombres y pateamos pa donde salga y ps la gente creo que se parece mucho aunque no he conocido nunca a un boliviano pero igual podriamos pasarla bombiux dubidu los del boom casi todos son sura
you flirt with death every breath you take. who in the fuck is bono? or emo? It's obvious you never cooled it in the can. You sound like a fart before you shit a cum soaked turd.
His old stuff is truly great. But he later claimed to hate people and publicity and all he did was do interviews, screenplays and hobnob with celebrities.
Still love him though. Visited his grave a long time ago.
Poetry will be the last thing on earth to prevail. The rest is a pure alucination.
Has Kerouac said once : Happiness consists in realizing it is all a great strange dream. The man was right! Viva Bukowski, viva Kerouac, viva Blake, viva Ginsberg and fuck the rest. Cheers
waits fits with buk because he too is a good writer.
penn cannot write good movies, just as bono cannot write good songs.
same goes for all the other buk lapdog wannabes.
sad to see these rich boys feeling they have to fill their empty lives by implying that buk would have thought they're cool or on the same wavelength as him.
but no, in reality he wouldn't have preferred to put up with these showbiz phonies for two seconds.
Calm down about what? I was perfectly calm when I pointed out that Penn and Bono are show-biz phonies, trying to also look cool in the lit world by attaching themselves to writers like Buk. They do the same thing in the art world, as they alternately haunt and donate to museums, yet have no clue themselves how to draw a straight line.
None of this upsets me, in fact it gives me quite a laugh.
i believe was only in good spirits when his dick was up. when it was not up...boy, thats when the ugliness began...he should have travelled...from west to east coeast..from earth to pluto..man he should have moved and traveled more...he spent way too much time in LA to the point where he let it shape him too much..a gut...he had a massive gut...but unfortunately an un-massive penis.
tenne, it must be a lonely experience being you, but it's allright you know, breathe the air, stretch those powerful arms, pretend to be someone, even death has a stylist. when i was a young fuck, i tried to commit suicide. I took a blade and I pressed it to my belly until it began to enter. I copped out, a coward, a noname shit, but if you at least retain the scars, you can tell your grandchildren, that you were once almost somebody.
odowdville, life is too good for me to even think about pressing a blade to my belly. i am currently travelling from turkey to iran then to pakistan then to india. iife is too good odowdville, life is too good.
That was my instinctive reaction too. Of recent I'm unsure of Bono and U2. frankly, I don't like there music of late (10 years of it more or les...), and I think bono is mixed up politically and so forth. A hypocrite perhaps, but few are'nt. If you brush away all that history and listen to him without that shite, you may appreciate it. I was surprised. He remains a deep man and recounts that depth of Bukowski quite bloody well I think.
All his music is crap. It's so fake. All that impassioned sloganeering, wearing his heart on his sleave. And then selling his soul to the big corps. I mean, come on, wake up. There are a thousand bands who speak with more integrity and don't sell out. Do we hear form them in the Guardian?
the other funny thing is that in bukowski's posthumus book 'the captain is out to lunch and the sailor's have taken over the ship' bukowski describes a u2 concert he attended, and how much he disliked being there. he also described his discontent with the crowd and with bono. i always wondered why bono was put into the documentary too. tom waits? sure! but why bono?!
Thanks for the post...I wish I had read Buk before, when I was younger...At least I'll never have to try HOrses or Whores. It was a cooling poem with or without you, bono.
a la puta madre de todos superficiales muertos, vivos y por vivir... All gods are dead!!! long live the overman. He is is this lightning and this madness...
A genius of our times. He will probably be looked at years from now as the Mozart of poetry. Even with it's crudeness and sometimes vulgarity his works continue to have spunk and life. A real madman, his life was full to the end.
bono would like you to think hes great. and appearantly hes succeeding in tricking u into actually thinking that. in reality, you and anyone else who buys that shit has been foled. hes grat at fooling ppl. almost as great as his handlers ;)
What? Didn't the producers of this film believe that anyone would want to see it without putting a fuck wit like Bono in it? The producers of this film and Bono: What twads.
i sort of feel the same as you, bono in this film? but i guess thier angle is buk's work was loved and admired by all sorts of people. i am not a big u2 fan either.
C'mon man, you can't always watch "kinky sexy asian girls vol. 35" like you mentioned in your hobbies, ok ? Don't you think you add some misery too in this world by supporting this stuff ? Lol
If You Understand That. You Understand Alot. You're A Happy Person.
Like Myself.
Also Slightly Pretentious, But I Guess The Knowledge Of The Secret Of Superiority And The Reality Of Happiness Come With Slight Arrogance And Oh So Slight Self Advertising Eh?
I question his character. All talk, no action? More footage of him would be nice. I want to see him actually fight another man and fuck a women the way he says he does.
To <u>monkeylab4life</u>: your comment "<i>seems like (Bukowski) was a miserable turd</i>" Yes, he was miserable. That's a beginning. You are probably one of the people who will contribute to more misery in the world. Fuck you.
