Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Lord Richard Buckley (born Richard Myrle Buckley; April 5, 1906 – November 12, 1960) was an American poet/humorist/monologist whose work from the 1940s onward anticipated and embraced the Beatnik generation and its sensibilities. His unique style and stage persona has influenced several generations of performers, including such diverse figures as Dizzy Gillespie, Lenny Bruce, Wavy Gravy, Del Close, and, even after Buckley's death, Ken Kesey, George Harrison, Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, Robin Williams, and Jimmy Buffett. The New York Times once described him as "an unlikely persona ... part English royalty, part Dizzy Gillespie." The Baltimore Sun called him "a magnificent stand-up comedian" and said that "... Buckley's work, his very presence, projected the sense that life's most immortal truths lie in the inextricable weaving together of love and irony — affection for all humanity married to laughter." |
