#Barfly is a forgotten 80s gem!

I was was already "Heavy Into Bukowski" in '87 when it came out. Ironic, since I was a big-ol' Guppie PRopagandist on both coasts, living the bi-Coastal expense-account life.

Living in "a cage with golden bars."

My wee mind hyperlinked to #Barfly and #MickeyRourke as #Bukowski's job interview and bar rant:

"Somebody laid down this rule that everybody's gotta do something, they gotta be something ... Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I don't wanna do—all the things that I don't wanna be!"

@patrick_h_lauke Hahah - if I ever get the opportunity to introduce you to someone again, I'm also going to use this.

"this is Patrick...and he's *STRAIGHT*"

😅

And yes, many hours have been spent in Fab Cafe. One of my friends used to work in the Leeds branch too, and I used to go there and hang out all evening. #Barfly
