Trout vs humanity. <br /><br />What about the dad in denial. The father that declared himself 'no dependants' when he signed up for war. Who gifted his child with a few cents for ice cream/cinema on the two occasions they met by pure coincidence. <br /><br />What about the clock in the kitchen in Montana, surrounded by bullets shot by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper? <br /><br />Brautigan is a 20th Century artistic tragedy, as poignant as Jimmy Dean, Buddy Holly or John Lennon. <br /><br />Only their deaths were messier. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846643766500139924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412906423906940407.post-82488452041128364032015-12-02T23:41:56.557-05:002015-12-02T23:41:56.557-05:00Interesting 'no comments' my son was telli...Interesting 'no comments' my son was telling me what the top five rock LPs were yesterday, as per the new peers, the criteria should be All Killer and No Filler and it is all about staring at the cover for hours on end without tiring of that; I pondered why RadioHead were at the top - I guess they never went into adolescent dreams w/ Are You Experience pouring out of the speakers. Anyway I got to the Richard Brautigan Wikipedia page wanting to confirm whether he was a Californian writer, a Montana writer, or a writer from Oregon for my thesis - I settled on an American writer, because he was all of the aforementioned, and then I saw that he had an unpublished work [that's like not putting out Valleys of Neptune by Hendrix, posthumously] - then I came into this page, and no comments. No comments, I must have stumbled across one of those invisible places, that they can't see that endless linear line of things, that aren't important. Meanwhile I haven't thought about Brautigan for years, as I savoured every single word back in the day - I had only mentioned him as one of his book titles was nearly an exact quote from a Premier of our Victorian state - when asked about pollution Henry Bolte said: The Wind Will Blow it Away - Brautigan's title - So The Wind Won't Blow It All Away - it just struck me that the co-relation of poet and right wing Premier building Brutalist school of architecture apartment towers, that still survive to-day and have housed millions [or at least tens of thousands] was a kind of retrospective poetry, as both created monuments of good will. So that's my comment. And I also ordered another one I hadn't seen; published in 1994 - An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey for $10.00!!rockabilly_main_manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705096433885712686noreply@blogger.com
