"Birth of the Cool" is an album that collects the twelve sides recorded by the Miles Davis nonet (featuring Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz and others) for Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950. The music is considered seminal. This blog is dedicated to that spirit -- keeping things "cool" by blog birthing. If you've got somethin' cool to share, blow on.
-K- I have heard similar comments from friends who also encountered Bukowski along the way. At least Charles did not shoot his wife in the head ala Burroughs.

I met Charles Bukowski once and he couldn't have been less like the drunken pig that he undoubtedly was at many times in his life.
Of course this was in the very early 90's when he was getting "movie money."

No, but he punched a woman in the face in a documentary video made about him in the early '80s.
