Well, my impression of Jimmy Buffet went up a few notches. Anyone who can refer to Lord Richard Buckley in a press release/statement that will likely be read by tens of thousands deserves some credit. What could have been a moment of darkness, he has turned into an opportunity to enlighten the masses about a major beat/hipster figure who deserves more recognition.

Thanks Ikitnrev for a great link, I found this on the site.
Here is a partial transcript of a "You Bet Your Life Show" from 1956 in which Groucho and His Lordship have some fun.
Groucho
Now, is there a Lady Buckley stashed away in a castle someplace –
Lord Buckley
Ah, yes, sir, my Lady Buckley –
Groucho
Lord Buckley
Yes, no, no, she’s in a castle. She’s tucked very beautifully in a castle. Lady Buckley is a very exquisite, charming, gracious, talented lady.
Groucho
I’m, I’m sure she’s a lady, Mr. Buckley. And I respect you for speaking so well of her. How did you acquire this smooth way with women?
Lord Buckley
I’ve been married six times. [strong laughter from audience]
Groucho
Well, if you had learned anything you wouldn’t have gotten married the second time. Six times you’ve been married?
Lord Buckley
Yes, sir.
Groucho
Well, are you planning on fighting any more preliminaries or is this, is this current one the main bout?
Lord Buckley
No, no, I’ve been married for ten years, sir. I have a divine young boy four years old and a little girl five.
Groucho
I see. The other five [referring to the five marriages] went rather rapidly didn’t they?
Lord Buckley
Quite, sir, yes.
Groucho
Over the damn in no time.
Lord Buckley
High rhythm.
