The year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the disturbing song Timothy. Banned by radio stations and called the worst song ever recorded, its lyrics about cannibalism in a Pennsylvania coal mine eerily parallel the real-life Sheppton disaster. Written by playwright Rupert Holmes, the Billboard hit launched the career of The Buoys. They went on to perform at the legendary Whisky a Go Go, Stone Balloon, and the Satsop River Festival which they kicked off in front of 150,000 fans. The Buoys toured the Netherlands, got hustled in a pool game with Sly Stone-before his massive ten-mile traffic jam, hung out with Blue Öyster Cult-before their riot at the Kingston Armory, received a lecture on libertarianism from musical genius Frank Zappa, and were mentored by Delaney Bramlett-before cocaine ruined his life.
