Happy Birthday To Who? – Jeff Buckley vs. Sarah HardingAs unlikely a pairing as the calendar is likely to conjure up, November 17th marks the birth of one of indie's original tortured talents and one of pop's original torturous talent show winners. Solo artist Jeff Buckley's emotional artistry is far removed from Sarah Harding's disposable snippets of sassy singing as one fifth of Girls Aloud.Ho
En todas las épocas, ajenos a los estilos imperantes, siempre hubo una serie de tipos que simplemente se dedicaron a escribir e interpretar música salida de lo más profundo de su alma. Cuando comenzó la década de los 90 el hard rock que había copado emisoras de radio y televisión y llenado estadios a lo largo y ancho del mundo parecía tocar a su fin. Un nuevo movimiento, el grunge, le suce

Ed Morrisey reacts to Buckley’s apostasy:

Jeffrey Scott Buckley (Anaheim, 17 novembre 1966 – Memphis, 29 maggio 1997)Hallelujah è una canzone scritta da Leonard Cohen. È stata registrata per la prima volta nel 1984 nell'album Various Positions. Nel 1994 Jeff Buckley ha inciso una cover di questa canzone che oggi è risultata essere più conosciuta dell'originale.Il 29 maggio 1997 Jeff si stava recando all'aeroporto di Memphis per andare a prendere i membri della band; è in anticipo ed è l'ora del tramonto di un pomeriggio tranquillo. In compagnia di un amico si ferma presso le acque del fiume Wolf River, un affluente del Mississippi. Si immerge nelle acque del corso d'acqua vestito e con le scarpe. Il suo amico lo vede allontanarsi dalla riva sempre di più. Muore così Jeff Buckley.

Buckley’s Tavern, a bar and restaurant located in a historic former house on Kennett Pike in Centreville, Delaware, offers nice atmosphere for a variety of purposes. The dark, cozy bar is a great place to get some drinks, the downstairs dining room (with fireplace) offers a charming ambiance for lunch or dinner, and the rooftop deck is great when the weather gets nice. Buckley’s also has an interesting brunch policy—dine in your pajamas, and you get ½ off the bill. Enticing, but neither of us did it. Jeff’s Take:I started off with a bowl of mushroom soup—a generous portion of mushrooms with leeks and tomatoes in broth. I’m a big mushroom fan, but I found this soup to be pretty boring. The broth was salty and unimpressive, and after I finished scooping out the mushrooms it wasn

Much has been said, both good and bad, about William F. Buckley since his death. While I don’t mean to minimize his very real and serious faults, I would like to talk about the positive effect he had on me, personally.When I was a young conservative, my grandfather got me a subscription to National Review, which I eagerly read every two weeks. In 1996, they came out with an issue that announced

Michael Johns, a great conservative writer, has put together a very interesting essay remembering William F Buckley Jr. titled, Walking the Road That Buckley Built. It is a uniquely well written piece that chronicles the totality of Buckley’s impact on the conservative movement and the past half century of American politics.

By Michael JohnsIt can be said that modern conservatism knows only two times. There was the time before him and there was the time after him, and those two times could not be more contrasting. In this stark contrast lies his larger-than-life legacy, and let there be no mistake: It is a legacy that will endure the ages.As word of William F. Buckley, Jr.'s passing reached his many students, admirers and colleagues late last week, it seemed each had an account (some grand, some small) of how this intellectual giant memorably impacted and touched their lives, their vision, and their work. In the aggregate, they tell the story of a man whose immense collective qualities--genius, boldness, industriousness, persuasiveness, and (perhaps least appreciated) kindness and generosity--were without equa

Many of William F. Buckley's Firing Line debates and regular television programs were dedicated to the topic of the death penalty. And there was certainly little doubt as to where he stood on the issue. In an August 1989 editorial Buckley wrote, "My own opinion is that too few, not too many, people are being executed in America."But, if you look through the body of Buckley's work, especially his editorials, you cannot help but see that Buckley's view of the death penalty included an emphasis on the need for the intelligent use of the pardon power. For example, in the above mentioned editorial he also wrote:But it makes very good sense to be as certain as circumstance allows that the right people go to the death chamber. Hang one man, prove the next day or year that he was in fact innocent,
In December of 1976, William F. Buckley, Jr. angrily expressed his concerns over the pardon process noting, "Chile may be showing greater concern for its political prisoners than the United States." The anxiety stemmed from the fact that Buckley wanted to see Howard Hunt's two and a half to eight-year prison sentence commuted. Harvard Professor James Q. Wilson had noted that anyone else with Hunt's record would have probably been given a 30-day suspended sentence. But Judge John Sirica was handing out "extraordinary prison terms" in order to "put special pressure on his prisoners to cooperate with the prosecution." Buckley wrote:In the office of the Attorney General of the United States is someone called the Pardon Attorney. His job is to prepare recommendations for the President of the Un
It's no secret to anyone who has spent much time reading this blog that I tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to politics. I'm more of a moderate on social issues but when it comes to economic policy and government issues, I'm definitely on the right side of center. I mention that simply as a lead in to acknowledge the death of one of my political heroes yesterday: William F.
After having browsed through the William F. Buckley Archive at Hillsdale College, I note that the man actually wrote many an editorial on the pardon power, both state and federal. I thought I would summarize highlights in what I found in two or three posts, beginning with what most under-informed persons consider the Mother of All Pardons: Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon. In his editorial of September 12, 1973, Buckley addressed what he felt were the major objections to the pardon. Some of his commentary remains impressively relevant to clemency issues today.Buckley rejected the notion that Nixon has not "shown a proper contrition" and did not "apologize" for his actions and dismissed the complaint that the pardon precluded the establishment of his guilt. As far as Buckley was concer
The editors of the Wall Street Journal summerize this extraordinary life. From the piece:WFB was a public intellectual in the best sense of the term: His wit, learning, civility, his sophistication—all these hugely contributed to the respectability of the conservative cause. Buckley was also a tireless popularizer and political combatant. By the time his television program "Firing Line" closed down in 1999, he had filmed 1,429 episodes. He edited NR for 35 years, gave 70 speeches a year over four decades, and filed a syndicated column until the end of his life. He wrote more than 50 books. He said he had "a cognate aversion to boredom."Read the whole thing here.
It's a sad day indeed. I don't even have the energy to go over to Huffington to see the hateful things they are most likely saying about him. No doubt the comments are closed over there, because that's how they hide what has actually been said. If you want you can look at the cached page on Google to see the comments.RJ:William F. Buckley Jr., the erudite Ivy Leaguer and conservative herald who showered huge and scornful words on liberalism as he observed, abetted and cheered on the right's post-World War II rise from the fringes to the White House, died Wednesday. He was 82.His assistant Linda Bridges said Buckley was found dead by his cook at his home in Stamford, Conn. The cause of death was unknown, but he had been ill with emphysema, she said.I wish all of his loved ones the best.
It’s a sad, sad day. I don’t think any one person, aside from my father, has done more to help shape my political world view than William F. Buckley. I have been a subscriber to National Review for over 30 years, since I was a teenager, and still read every issue from cover [...]
William F. Buckley was a part of my life. I was forever asked do you know who William F Buckley is? Of course I do he was a big conservative and wrote many books. Sadly, a big part of my life has passed away and I just wanted to acknowledge him today in my own way. Enjoy this really old and glib commentary by my chosen name sake. To answer the question about where William's wealth was aquired. It seems as if he made most of his wealth through his writing of 55 books, daily newspaper article and his firing line. Based on his family history, Buckley’s grandfather, a Texas sheriff, was a Democrat. The Republicanism appears to have begun with Buckley’s father, Will, who made and lost a fortune in oil — not in Texas, but in Mexico. The Buckley family’s Catholicism was very much a High C
OMG, I hope my suggestion that Bill Buckley fall on his sword, in atonement for the racial nuttery of one of the contributors to the National Review , had nothing to do with his departure from this earth today.Bill Buckley founded the National Review in 1955, when conservatism was considered by polite people as some kind of mental infliction. Conservatives were odd indeed, having opposed Roosevelt's New Deal, ranted against the income tax, and been essentially isolationists before World War II. They even felt the federal government had no constitutional authority to regulate marijuana.Yes folks, in 1938 Ron Paul would have been Chairman of the National Republican Committee.Buckley was instrumental in kick starting the modern conservative movement , by joining liberals in the fight against

One of the things that makes this newest cd super special is the fact that Bud…
Listening to the radio today, I heard a very interesting ad. It began with an irate customer calling a cough syrup company. He complained that the cough syrup tasted horrible - likening it to a public portapotty (does anyone really know what those taste like?) and an old tire. The customer service representative asked - clearly unconcerned - if the customer still had his cough. “Um… No,” he mumbled. The rep warmly thanked him for calling… followed by a voice-over saying, “Buckley’s cough syrup. It tastes awful, and it works.”
It’s an interesting approach to selling cough syrup, but it appears to work - because - for one - it gets people talking. “Hey, have you heard that weird cough syrup ad?” But it is also effective in that it increases the believability of Buckley’s more attractive claims. People automatically become suspicious when a company prattles on and on about how wonderful their product is. So when B

You read the headline over William F. Buckley’s column with hope. If the arch-conservatives are open to the question, there might just be a chance.
On the contrary. In his conclusion, Buckley describes a president who is not only be unrecognizable to most, but to statistics, too.
If ours were a form of government patterned after that of the Europeans, Bush would probably have been replaced as leader of his party. But the majority of the American people still think of him as a man of good will and very stout heart who is pursuing his duties as he sees them, a man, moreover, of conspicuous incorruptibility. Let the people pronounce on his stewardship in November 2008.
Where does he get that from? Bush is sitting in the 20’s in approval, the majority of Americans think the US is heading in the wrong direction, most think he invaded Iraq without due cause … and on it goes.
Oh, ya, most would like to have a drink with him.
His full column is here: IMPEACH BUSH?
After his beginnings as a gentle, melodic baroque folk-rocker, Buckley gradually evolved into a downright experimental singer/songwriter who explored both jazz and avant-garde territory. Starsailor is the culmination of his experimentation and alienated far more listeners than it exhilarated upon its release in 1970. Buckley had already begun to delve into jazz fusion on late-'60s records like Happy Sad, and explored some fairly "out" acrobatic, quasi-operatic vocals on his final Elektra LP, Lorca. With former Mother of Invention Bunk Gardner augmenting Buckley's group on sax and alto flute, Buckley applies vocal gymnastics to a set of material that's as avant-garde in its songwriting as its execution. At his most anguished (which is often on this album), he sounds as if his liver is being torn out -- slowly. Almost as if to prove he can still deliver a mellow buzz, he throws in a couple of pleasant jazz-pop cuts, including the odd, jaunty French tune "Moulin Rouge." Surrealistic ly
For any Jeff Buckley fan, whether they were lucky enough to see him live or not, this album is essential. Once you have Grace, and Sketches, you can then start exploring his live recordings, which is pretty much like discovering a goldmine. Live a L'olympia is one of the nuggets you have to look forward to.The fact that it is one entire show and not a selection of performances from different shows is great; you can really get a feel for what it was like to be there. There is no comparison to hearing Jeff at his most raw, and nothing can really describe it until you hear him. This is a good first live album for anyone quite new to Jeff, as he doesn't stray too much from the regular versions of each song (very different to Mystery White Boy, for example). I found that his live improvisation took a couple of listens before I got used to it, but this is a perfect introduction. The addition of 'What Will You Say,' featuring Alim Qasimov, as the final track is credit to how versatile Jef
