Anthrophage?

"Buckley was an anthrophage&hellip:"? That would mean a cannibal, no? Seems unlikely. Is there a citation for this? - Jmabel | Talk 18:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Since I have allowed almost 48 hours, including leaving a note on the user talk page of the person who wrote this, and no one is answering, I am cutting the word. If someone can justify it, please explain and restore. -- Jmabel | Talk 18:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This guy is right Lord Buckley was not a cannibal and that statment is not correct. Richard Buckley jr. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.45.11 (talk) 19:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yep, it literally means cannibal, but specifically a cultural cannibalism. this word is sometimes used to refer to tropicalism. looks like it should properly be "anthropophage" actually. i agree that it is unclear with no context. i will provide another edit to reflect his aggressive cultural assimilation. thanks jmabel.

Buckley and Beatles

George Harrison wrote Crackerbox Palace about one of Lord Buckley's pad's in Echo Park a suburb of Los Angles CA. . Richard Buckley jr. If there is question about george Harrison's Crackerbox Palace just look into George Harrisons wikipedia file and the story is there. Meanwhile, solid references from Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and others go unmentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.48.240 (talk) 04:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, David Bowie mentions "... the Nazz with God given ass" in the song "Ziggy Stardust" from his album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.231.33.14 (talk) 20:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago in the 1920's and 30's

It's true that Lord Buckley got his "Hipsemantic" from his peers Louis Armstrong, Red Foxx, Count Basie, Louis Prima andFrank Sinatra after the world fair in 1928 in Chicago.Also Al Capone did back his nightclub "The Chez Buckley" it was a speakeasy. Richard Buckley jr. aka Lord Buckley jr. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.45.11 (talk) 19:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Potential conflict of interest

In my opinion this article should be carefully examined for potential conflicts of interest/neutrality issues. A substantial amount of its content in the past (and continues to present) to be added through an isp located in Aliso Viejo California, which appears to also be the location of an editor identifying himself as "Richard Buckley jr. aka Lord Buckley jr." in the section above called "Chicago in the 1920's and 30's". I've placed a COI warning template on the talk page of the individual who has been editing the article over the past several days from Aliso Viejo in the hope of perhaps having this individual curtail their practices, or at least declaring a conflict if one exists. thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this rambling, nearly unintelligible statement aside, you clearly have a conflict-of-interest in that you keep claiming that Lord Buckley was your father. Now, either you are a bald faced liar (I notice you have never offered any proof for your claim) or you are a user who should not be editing an article on a family member. Attacking other editors on the article talk page is also a very bad idea. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 15:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Death

At the end of the first section Buckley's cabaret card is taken away from him. He is seemingly fit and well, and there is no mention of him having any health problems. At the beginning of the second section he is said to have died in hospital. Why was he in hospital, and what did he die of? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Someone should probably figure this out. Seriously, how do you have a biographical article without a cause of death? Kronos o (talk) 07:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Buckley died soon after suffering a stroke which is in the article at this time. The New York City police commissioner was not removed until 1961, when he was succeeded by Michael J. Murphy. Activist (talk) 20:12, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

I removed the following from the trivia section and bring it here for discussion.

"Crackerbox Palace"on the 33 1/3 album by George Harrison about Lord Buckley's home in Los Angeles, 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.

None of this is referenced, and should not be readded to the article until it is sourced. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 22:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was he ennobled?

The article makes no reference to if he was raised to the peerage or (as seems more likely) assumed the "title" Lord as a stage name. Further confusion is that his marriage to a "Lady Buckley" is mentioned. 86.18.9.185 (talk) 05:15, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Tim[reply]

Definitely a stage name. Railfan23 (talk) 06:25, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Al Capone

Capone setting Buckley up with a night club may be true but the dates in the article cannot be correct as Capone was jailed from 1932 to 1939. Much more likely those events happened in the early 1930s. MichaelW (talk) 22:56, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
