I could listen to this man read the back of cereal boxes, let alone Bukowski. Such a great minute.

I remember when Bukowski passed around 1995 or so. What a loss. I still need to see Tom Waits. I hope he makes it close to California for his next tour. Phoenix will do...

Thanks Genius,
But it is Tom performing and he is very much alive. You may have noticed I asked Tom to keep it coming, not Charles i.e. read more poetry in his great voice, not necessarily Bukowski either. Sorry to have to spell it out to you, but it's pretty clear you don't know how to read. Little, disrespectful A-Hole, I was reading Bukowski before you were born.
