Buk embodied the spirit of San Pedro.

I know! Sorry. I thought it was "gold" as well, which is why I went with it. I, too, thought it was charming that he was coming from the 99'er and waiting for the bus. Alas, I was also fished in.

Sigh to my comment (No. 3). Looks like I was totally fished in.

John -- Wow, very honored to meet you via comments. Your film is wonderful and really gives a broader sense of Bukowski the man...beyond the cliches of just his ranting and raving that so many know about. I recommend it to people all the time. As your first (please don't tell me last?) film, it was even more impressive. Any other documentaries from you we should be on the lookout for? As for the photo, ah, we SO wanted it to be him, and it does, to us, have a resemblance - even after watching your film six times! The photo has been changed. Thanks for the timely tip!

Great article -- and thanks for the kind words on the film. But that photo is not Bukowski -- although there is certainly a resemblance. John Dullaghan, Director, "Bukowski: Born into This"

It doesn't really look like him all that much...

That photo is Gold! Dang if Charles doesn't appear to have just come from the 99'er and appears to be waiting for the No. 4 bus.

That's why we mentioned in our post, that the bus tour "starts tomorrow on Buk's official birthday." The other event takes place tonight, as they and Scoop are celebrating Bukowski week.

Bukowski was born on August 16th. No longer fact checking stuff...?
