Hip
Poet and american monologist, Lord Buckley very much enjoyed smoking
marijuana. He wrote reports of his first experiences with LSD, under the
supervision of Dr. Oscar Janiger, and of his trip in a United States
Air Force jet.
In October 1960 he was scheduled to play club dates and do another Ed
Sullivan show in New York, but his New York City Cabaret Card was
seized, purportedly because of a 1941 arrest for cannabis
possession. Such cards were necessary to appear in nightclubs and were
often withheld for political reasons, and as a way to solicit payoffs.
Without the card he was unable to perform. He attempted to get the card
reinstated and more than three dozen major figures in the entertainment
and arts world showed up for a hearing on the matter. Buckley died at
Columbus Hospital. A hearing held two days after his death turned into a
raucous confrontation between Police Commissioner Stephen Kennedy and
Buckley's friends and supporters, including Quincy Jones, George
Plimpton, Norman Mailer and Norman Podhoretz. The scandal of Buckley's
death, attributed at least in part to his loss of the card, led to the
removal of Kennedy and the abolition of the cabaret card system. Source: FamousFriendsOf Canabis

Lord Buckley is, in reality, as important a character as Woody Guthrie. Both have similar reputations as troubadours of independence. Both also suffer from a somewhat skewed remembrance in modern culture, almost as if they didn't exist -- but Buckley did exist. Purveyor of the hippest slang and jargon of the 20th century, he was not only a comedian but a social and religious satirist. His most popular routine, "The Nazz," is the centerpiece of this record, a truly engaging and twisted take of Jesus and his effect on his disciples. There are may other great cuts, such as "Nero" and "Jonah and the Whale." All showcase a man that can make you laugh and, most importantly, think. Source: Allmusic.com
