Further off topic I know but:-
I'm going to be meeting Mark E. himself in a couple of weeks when a band
in which I play supports The Fall at the Festival in Edinburgh. I'm not
worried about playing (we'll slay the place... ;) ) but I can't help but
think that, in the grand Charles Bukowski tradition, a face-to-face with
the man could be disappointing (or even physically injuring...) ..ho hum.
As quoted above, the man has a large stroke of genius accompanied by a
bloody mindedness that I admire - but usually from a distance...
