Brautigan was a genus. And he still haunts Washington Square Park in North Beach, San Francisco. I Know, because he has share his presence with me there on a few occasions. Each visit was Melancholy, strangely even a bit morbid. But they were always memorable and sacred to me. 'Cheer's! Richard. Feel free to do us a favour and drop in any time you want! Hail & Farewell!"

Shades of English 101. Brautigan was great, but sometimes a bit too enamored with himself. I suppose this stuff was cutting edge back in 1970. Brautigan was just canny enough to consider that whole album a prank---if you bought it, joke's on you. The guy was, in many ways, ahead of us all.

I can tell that there are many people that don't get Brautigan. They expect a complicated, intricate product from him and don't open themselves up to simple yet profound thoughts. It's tough to do and I think one of his underlying thoughts in just about everything he wrote.

His daughter Ianthe's book is called You Can't Catch Death.

everybody has to die, it's part of life.

Used to have this album. At thirteen I thought it was profound. Now, however...
I'm a huge Brautigan fan... but his voice sounds like Big Bird's (from Sesame Street) to me.
