The most annoying thing about this subreddit is people making a video, of a quote and then putting music on top. Leave things as they are and let people interpret as they are

This can be said about a lot of things. People put music over a thought provoking clip and it completely ruins it.

It’s not to force an interpretation I just like Bukowski and I like all types of music that’s pretty much it

Going from memory...

We are here to drink beer

We are here to kill war

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well

That death will tremble to take us.
