Along with contemporaries Harry Nilsson, Arlo Guthrie and Mason Williams, Rose was/is a whimsical stoner with a deft touch at a lyric and a supple piano technique. I was a stagehand at a gig of his once---*the* stagehand, actually: it was a small venue---and he turned out to be just as witty off-stage as on. He's one of the reasons why radio in the late Sixties/early Seventies radio was so interesting and varied.
Better than Schmillson.

A fan since "The Thorn" was played for me when it was new. This song (among others) nails the Human Condition. Go Biff!

His lyrics remind me of T.S. Eliot's poetry.

Terence, or is it really about you and me. That was always the question. Good bye pot, hello booze. And then there are the piano riffs...

Not much to say...Biff's brilliance is not in dispute...All hail YouTube for conserving him for the many who have no idea who he is (was)....
