Background notes
Archive material and source history
Charles Bukowski was a writer who also made music in the 1970s. He worked with musician John Thomas, and they formed a band called Charles Bukowski and Dinosauria, We. Bukowski handled the vocals, and Thomas played guitar and sang as well.
Their song "Born into This (Dinosauria, we)" came from that collaboration. Bukowski wrote the lyrics, which have a direct, unadorned quality that matches his literary voice. The track has a haunting melody and Bukowski's distinctive vocal delivery, which listeners often describe as a growl.
Some people found his music too raw or offensive, while others connected with its blunt honesty. Bukowski didn't seem to mind either reaction. He kept making work that felt true to his perspective, whether in poems, stories, or songs.
