Bukowski Calling
When I wrote of my friend Lenny, The Italian Wine Guy mentioned that cheerful fellow, Charles Bukowski. Europeans have taken to him more than North Americans, as was the case with many of our great jazz musicians. Here's the Italian Community's Bukowski site. Terry Hughes, that bon vivant in Manhattan who attends $125 a head wine tasting dinners while simultaneously claiming to be broke, kindly provided the translation of the masthead at the top of the Italian site:
"Here's the problem for a drinker.
If things are going to hell, you drink to forget. If they're going great, you drink to celebrate. If there's nothing to do, you drink to have something to do."
Maybe, in T.H.'s words, he's just "fighting the good fight."
