The opening interaction speaks volumes:

[@moserfugger6363]

"Im a poet."

[@jeiyoung4581]

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. - Charles Bukowski

Does anybody else revisit this video every couple of months?

"Everybody can be a genious at the age of 25. Try it at the age of 50." Bukowski

[@perlefisker]

"I think the gods have been good to me, kept me where I belong - not too much - just right..."

[@Star_Dusting]

I love this part he’s gushing over how lovely LA is and how much he loves being there, forward straight to him having a mild episode of road rage in LA traffic. 😂

I could watch that interaction in the shop all day long. That was poetry in itself.

his voice is so satisfying

“What matters most is how well you walk through the fire”

[@thebushmaster1276]

"the city dumps fill

[@beatricemaude4426]

I am reading Bukowski's book "Women" right now. This is the first time I have viewed film footage of him reciting his poetry. Now I know why people paid to hear him. He was great. His words are very honest and moving. His pain is obvious. He makes me want to cry.

In honor of Bukowski I thought up this quote "to be rebellious as a teenager...thats just natural, but to be rebellious as adult, that takes courage"

[@abrandnewasshole6042]

"Find What You Love And Let It Kill You" Charles Bukowski

[@TrueMakaveli50]

“One more beer.. I’ll take you all, all of ya” so glad we have these interviews and readings

[@AurelianKashmir]

Bukowskis style was raw & simple. Something a lot of poets struggle to replicate.

[@William.H.Bonney]

He seems like he was a time traveler from our time when he interacted with people of his time. He just has the disposition of someone who knew something that they didn't know. Maybe he did?
