My fine chum George Wallace has brought Tony Pierce's blog to my attention. There is an excellent piece evaluating and rightfully praising Charles Bukowski in honor of his birthday, August 16th. As they say, read the whole thing here. Bukowski is an American classic and I agree with Mr. Pierce that he is one of the great poets of the 20th century.

There is also an excellent posting on why Bruce Springsteen has reached his sell by date. Though I don't agree with him on his assessment of Dylan's Desire.
