Charles Bukowski y la historia de Cass

Bajó por el callejón
En donde estaba él
Después vomitó ese ron
Manchando la pared
(Polaroid de locura ordinaria, Fito Paez)

El tema que formó parte del album Ey! de 1988 se inspira sin duda en el film de Marco Ferreri (Storie di ordinaria follia, 1981) inspirado en la historia de Cass de Charles Bokowski.
La historia de Cass se publicó por vez primera en 'Erections, ejaculations, exhibitions
and general tales of ordinary madness', 1972 como The Most Beautiful Woman in Town.





Cass was the youngest and most beautiful of 5 sisters. Cass was the most beautiful girl in town. 1/2 Indian with a supple and strange body, a snake-like and fiery body with eyes to go with it. Cass was fluid moving fire. She was like a spirit stuck into a form that would not hold her. Her hair was black and long and silken and whirled about as did her body. Her spirit was either very high or very low. There was no in between for Cass. Some said she was crazy. The dull ones said that. The dull ones would never understand Cass. To the men she was simply a sex machine and they didn't care whether she was crazy or not. And Cass danced and flirted, kissed the men, but except for an instance or two, when it came time to make it with Cass, Cass had somehow slipped away, eluded the men. (Charles Bukowski)
