Don't worry - he's not dead! I just wanted to say that Bloomed is cutting me to the quick tonight. Must be something to do with autumn and the fading days.

One of the posh comedians (Marcus Brigstocke, I think?) said he understood a certain tranche of Tories as being psychopathic because, like them, he'd been sent away at 8 to boarding school and had his heart broken too - which is why they're so dangerous. And I know the Trump parallels are tedious but this does have the stink of ah, this will be the thing that gets him.

Hah - wrong thread par excellence!
Kept waiting for that second post to make its way towards something like Richard Buckner lyrics that retroactively seem to be about Trump or his voters.

Is he playing again? I saw his name pop up elsewhere recently and had wondered about a year ago what he had been up to. Does he still live in Chicago area? What does Richard Buckner do all day if he's not making music?

just saw richard play an un-amplified show at a bookstore in boulder last week — really great. he's one of a kind. seems to be upstate NY based these days? said he had a job as a postman.

I had a friend randomly recommend Buckner to another friend the other day, and my first thought was that Buckner had passed away. Glad to hear he is still around.
