Notes From Underground 3 -- First Appearance Essay by Charles Bukowski (1970)

Notes From Underground was classic sixties magazine out of San Francisco that featured some of the biggest peace and pro-revolution writers of the time (Allen Ginsberg, Jerry Rubin, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, etc.).

Then there’s Charles Bukowski… Who in a time when you should never trust anyone over 30, is about to turn 50 and is now one of the underground’s most influential writers.

Bukowski does not disappoint. His classic treatise “Should We Burn Uncle Sam's Ass?” smacks of wisdom and experience that people under 30 simply didn’t have. His basic sentiment is, If you’re going to have a revolution, do it right and don’t get fooled again.

Contributors include Jerry Rubin, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Carl Weissner, Jack Micheline, John Sinclair, D.H. Larwence, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Harold Norse, Lenore Kandel, Dick Higgins, Nanos Valaoritis, Sinclair Beiles, Diane di Prima,, Jan Herman and Adrianna Wood.

Illustrations by Gary Grimshaw, Nanos Valaoritis, Jan Herman and Wolf Vostell.
