Bob Lind - Since There Were Circles

""* Singer-songwriter Bob Lind will forever be remembered for the 1965 hit ""Elusive Butterfly,"" but his career is so much more interesting than the fading wonder of that one song. Once a hard-partying buddy of Charles Bukowski, Lind was the inspiration for the character ""Dinky Summers,"" a down-on-his-luck folk singer in Bukowski's 1978 novel Women. Lind also doubled as a writer, penning a number of novels and plays as well as serving as a long-time staff writer at the lowbrow tabloid Weekly World News.
