REMEMBER PHILLIPA FALLON IN HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL?
BEST COD BEATNIK PERFORMANCE OF THE 50s?
WELL, TUNE IN FOR THIS LAMB SLAM, AND PROP YOUR JAW-PAW UP AND LOCK IT IN A SOCKET AS LB FONTLORD Buckley 'Says' Beatnik Shakespeare for Groucho Marx, in this super Hipster, Flyin' Home, Way Beneath the radar, Peppy Edi, Groucho Marx Man's You Bet Your Life, comin' all the way to you from one of the three most happenin' years of that Rockin' Fifty Decade, baby - the one that ends with a Slinky Six.
You Bet Your Life with guest Lord Buckley (1956)
This was one of the first things I ever saw on YouTube and its still one of the greatest. Cult-icon Lord Buckley, the eccentric, aristocratic sounding, beatnik-jazz comedian appears as a contestant on Groucho Marx's quiz show You Bet Your Life. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime match-up. Lord Buckley was such an underground figure during his day that he could appear as a game show contestant named Richard Buckley and nobody, spare Groucho, would recognize him as anybody of note. He does a good job at the game too and you just know he needed that prize money.
And stay tuned up for a reprise of pure Mystery Mama, Phillipa Fallon, as I fall in back up here with solid MP4s of her sparse but memoryville little lane gig of lifetime filler diller role sides.
From October 11, 1956

"Crackerbox Palace"on the 33 1/3 album by George Harrison about Lord Buckley's home in Los Angles, Echo Park.
"The Train" and "The Nazz" by Lord Buckley appear on NME's The Supermassive Selection CD, the tracklist is a collection of favourite songs of the English band Muse.
"The Nazz" inspired the name of the group "Nazz", formed by Todd Rundgren in 1967.
David Bowie references "The Nazz" in the lyrics to his song "Ziggy Stardust".
Lord Buckley's "God's Own Drunk" was recorded on Living and Dying in 3/4 Time by Jimmy Buffett in 1974.
The "Tales of Lord Buckley" are available on itunes Crown Prince Richard's Collection
Lord Buckley is referenced several times throughout the Callahan Series by Spider Robinson. His style is imitated by Robinson in 2 items in a short story collection on the subject of Robert Heinlein.
Lord Buckley was mentioned as an influence by Tom Waits in an interview in 1979.
This footage is apparently from a show called Club 7, presumably a local New York program from the early fifties. The MC gives Buckley a condescending introduction, "a rather frequent guest here on Club 7 and only because you seem to like him so much..."
Buckley smoked pot in public, wandered around nude at parties, and had a rivalry with Lenny Bruce vying for the title of "the jazz musician's favorite comedian." His most famous routine is his hippified scat telling of "The Nazz," as in the story of Jesus of Nazareth. Here's a short clip of that routine from a 1960 performance at The Gate of Horn, Chicago:

Facebook,
A new poll says that three in every four Facebook users avoid adding their boss as a 'friend' out of fear that their actions on the site could cost them their job. We round up the best social media gaffes from Facebook, Twitter and Google.
1. Tenant sued by landlord
According to a new survey 73 per cent of Facebook users are not 'friends' with their bosses on the site for fear of losing their job because of their actions on the site.
When Amanda Bonnen described her Chicago apartment as "moldy" on Twitter, she had no idea of the legal trouble that would ensue. Her landlords, Horizon Group Management, took offence to the message, claiming that she "maliciously and wrongfully published the false and defamatory tweet, thereby allowing the tweet to be spread throughout the world", and sought at least $50,000 in damages. But a judge in Cook County, Chicago, eventually threw out the lawsuit, saying the tweet was "too vague" and "lacked context". Nonetheless, the furore was a stark reminder that thoughts and views shared online do not exist in a vacuum, and have the potential to come back to haunt the sender.
2. Habitat hash-tag spam
The brave new world of social media can be a minefield for "traditional" brands making their first foray in to online marketing. Habitat was forced to apologise after it used the Iran election to help publicise money-saving discounts at its store. The person in charge of the company's Twitter feed added keywords, known as hashtags, to their tweets, to ensure Habitat's messages appeared on Twitter's list of trending topics. The timing of the stunt was unfortunate -- at the time, Twitter was being used by protestors in Iran to organise rallies against the disputed election results, and to inform people in the West about how they had been treated. The appearance of offers for discounted bookcases and coffee tables among messages about police brutality and pleas for help did not go down well with the Twitterati. “Just read about your hashtag abuses,” wrote Caramboo on Twitter. “You utter scumbags, I’ll never visit your shop again”. Habitat apologised, and said the "hashtag spam" was an error, but it's a cautionary tale for companies that think engaging with the online community is as easy as setting up a Twitter account.
3. Tweeting live from a funeral
The tragic death of three-year-old Marten Kudlis, killed by a motorist while queuing for ice cream, devastated the community of Aurora, Colorado. Local newspaper, Rocky Mountain News, dispatched journalist Berny Morson to cover the funeral - on Twitter. The resulting stream of tweets - describing every stage of the service, from the sobbing of relatives to the lowering of the coffin in to the ground - make for truly uncomfortable reading. There's a cold detachment to the messages, caused, no doubt, by the need to condense an emotionally charged event in to 140-character messages. But it demonstrated that even in today's permissive society, where make-ups, breaks-ups and the minutiae of daily life are shared through social-networking sites, some things should never, ever be "live blogged".4. Facebook Beacon
With 400 million users around the world, Facebook is sitting on huge amounts of personal data that many advertisers would sell their souls to get their hands on. Mining this data is one sure-fire way for Facebook to boost its profits, but it also has a duty to its users to protect their privacy. Its efforts to square this circle have resulted in some significant mis-steps, the most famous of which is Beacon, Facebook's ill-fated attempt at an online advertising platform. The aim of the service was to exploit the power of "word of mouth" marketing - it inserted details of purchases made at participating websites in to the news feed of Facebook users, making it visible to all their friends. But some users complained that that they had not been aware these details would be shared --one user said it meant her husband knew what she had bought him for Christmas. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, was forced in to a humiliating U-turn, admitting that the service had been a mistake, and changing the rules so that Beacon became opt-in rather than opt-out. Beacon was shut down completely in September 2009, following a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled Facebook users.5. Google Buzz
This was Google's attempt to replicate the real-time status updates that have proved so popular among Twitter and Facebook users. Buzz, which plugs in to a user's Gmail email account, connects people together based on names in their address book; it auto-followed people based on who users emailed most frequently. The problem was, as many people pointed out, the service was switched on automatically, which resulted in some people being connected to other people they had no wish to network with. Blogger Harriet Jacobs was furious about the service, which resulted in her being automatically connected to her "abusive ex-husband", putting her "actual physical safety" at risk. Google admitted that the roll-out of the service had been less than perfect, and made some changes so that it was easier for users to hide their list of followers, block new followers, and dictate who appeared on their public profile.
6. Labour candidate sacked over 'offensive' tweets
Stuart MacLennan, who was standing in Moray in Scotland, used his Twitter account to moan about having to go "up north" to his constituency, branded elderly people "coffin dodgers", called local people "chavs" and insulted rival MPs, including Nick Clegg and Dianne Abbot. Although most of the comments were made before he was selected to stand for Parliament, the resulting uproar is a timely reminder of the digital permanency of online comments.
