Well, let me just sit here and drink beer.” Thus begins the September 14, 1972 poetry reading from which this 1980 release on John Fahey’s Takoma label is drawn. This is quintessential Bukowski, from the rude ‘n’ crude drawing that adorns the front cover to the belches that punctuate the poems.

As for the work itself, it’s not really what you’d commonly conceive of as poetry, but rather observations and vignettes drawn from life’s darker side, focusing on perversions, poverty, drunkenness, gambling, and bodily functions. But Bukowski’s bemused air and self-deprecating humor blunt the shock value of the words and emphasize the universality of the themes. “I want you to hate me,” he says to the audience, but it’s hopeless—he is one of us. Having rescued this recording from the clinical, digital world of the compact disc and restored it to its proper vinyl format. If there were ever an echo of the analog, non-PC (personal computers or politically correct) world, this album would be it. Number of discs: 1I’m not sure what the purpose of this question it is asking a question that basically cannot be answered, though I want to applaud Matthew for attempting to answer it. Bukowski no doubt would have been horrified by such a question. He was not a scientist who conducted experiments to prove theories.

He voiced his own opinions about life and the experiences he had and laid no claims on possessing any ultimate truth other than his own—i.e., what he had come to believe after years of living and observing.In sum, he is not right or wrong but perhaps one of the reason he is widely-read and loved is that he voiced opinions such as the one Matthew quoted from FACTOTUM that give expression to what a great many other people have felt or are feeling and many people can identify with these feelings. This does not make his opinions “right” and he would be the last to say they did. It simply means he had opinions and became very good at expressing them and many of these opinions have resonated with a large audience who have either felt similar feelings or who can empathize with his writing. He was not a prophet or guru and did not claim to propound any “truths.” Rather, he wrote from his soul and many have appreciated what he had to say. He has plenty of detractors and there are lots of people who did not share his particular experiences and have very different viewpoints about life and humanity.

This does not make Buk right and them wrong, or vice versa. It simply demonstrates that humans throughout the world can have common experiences and experiences that put them at variance with one another. Buk was smart enough to realize this and did not claim he was writing any “truths.”Bukowski wrote a great many things in declarative form that one might assert he was right about, but I think when this statement is uttered, either ironically or in ernest, it refers to his general take on modern life.The following quotes are from his novel Factotum:“I drank for some time, three or four days. I couldn't get myself to read the want ads. The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me. Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.”“

How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”When someone exclaims that “Bukowski was right,” it is done in surrender.We have tried to find a meaning in our struggle. We have tried to be optimists. We have tried to be ambitious and see value in creating and achieving our goals, but, finally, the grim nihilism that we have been attempting to evade has snuck through our defenses - and we find ourselves admitting that the bulk of our lives feels completely devoid of meaning and substance and is thoroughly soaked in absurdity. We endure pain only that we may endure more of it later. The best we can hope for is a momentary reprieve.I am not saying that this is the final word or truth. I am just offering my explanation for the sentiment that “Bukowski was right.”
