Bukowski

Really felt there was a lot of Bukowski in Freddie. Bukowski was a great example of 'man really is an animal', far ahead of the time he was stuck in, like Freddie.

Do you know anything about Bukowski in the 40's and 50's?

If a man acting like an animal, and folks like Freddie, are ahead of the time... what exactly does the future have in store? Planet of the apes?

Oh franz, it's already planet of the apes. More ape than ape, get it?

Freddie seemed to me to be a parallel of Dodd. Both men were trying to live without masters--Dodd by being the ultimate master, and Freddie by being the ultimate rebel. Neither man was successful in being totally "unmastered," although Dodd's path brought much more material success.

Yes, but I don't see the parallel. Bukowski doesn't strike me as someone who was able to devote himself to any sort of cause beyond drinking, writing, and women. I can't see him following a guru like Lancaster Dodd for more than ten minutes, if he could even manage to do that.
