Buzzy Linhart is a fascinating and little known dude, at least these days. Roommate to John Sebastian in the early Sixties co-writer of Bette Midler’s “(You Got to Have) Friends,” Buzz is close to seventy and he’s still kicking around. You can visit him here: www.buzzylinhart.com
Buzzy, if you happen upon this I apologize and I’d love to do a “Why It Matters” piece with you, but bless your heart this might be one of the worst album covers ever.

Why It Matters 
How prophetic! An internet meme before the invention of the internet. A Meme before the definition of meme, f’crissakes.
Quite a civilized and restrained rewiew, James. Should fate dictate his passing in our time, I expect your usual dignified multmedia homage. Perhaps you would then revisit this reposed Cheshire cat-man with some descriptions you have swallowed.

I shouldn’t wait until he passes. Buzzy is an absolutely fascinating story. Anybody who jammed with Hendrix story AND appeared full-frontal in a cult classic (The Groove Tube) has an amazing life story to share. Check out the documentary link I posted.

I have never heard of Buzzy Linhart, but based on that album cover alone I am a smitten kitten 😉
