From the Songs you won't hear on the radio files:
Unfortunately, there is a dearth of Buzzy Linhart on YouTube, and nothing from The Time To Live Is Now, which is what I really wanted to feature. Here's a couple of interesting 1969 videos (embedding disabled), one of Reputation, which gives you a feel for Buzzy's unorthodox look and music, including his insistence on singing scat solos, even when he has a monster guitar player handy, and the other an uplugged verison of That's The Bag I'm In.
How about the lyrics from The Time To Live Is Now.
The time to live is now / you could be riding on a big fat cow / I'm here to show you how / the time to live is now
The time for now is live / I'm going to pour you through a great big sieve / give all the love you can give / the time for now is live / the time for now is live / the time to live is now
Who buys the money when you pay the rent / did you think that money was the president
Who could convince you, who could even try / you might go on believing till the day you die
When you got troubles, worries on your mind / you should be glad that you don't look like Frankenstein
When you got troubles, I'll be on your side / I will try to catch you when your mind begins to slide.
The time to live is now / you could be riding on a big fat cow / I'm here to show you how / the time to live is now
Catchy, huh?
Here's a trailer for Famous: The Buzzy Linhart Story, an unreleased feature documentary made by Michele Toscano.
Warning: F-bomb in the last 3 seconds of the video.
