Here is an interesting connection: Linda Ronstadt - Tim Buckley and The Tim Buckley-Jeff Buckley Story.
Reluctant Emergence of a Star

During work on the band's third album, in early 1968, Kenny Edwards departed for India . After "Different Drum" hit the charts, Bob Kimmel and Linda Ronstadt rounded up some more musicians, and the reformed Stone Poneys began touring with the Doors .cite web | title=Homecoming Queen | work= M O J O, the Rock'n'Roll Magazine, April 1995| url= www.ronstadt-linda.com/artmojo.htm | accessdate = 2007-05-07 Doors frontman Jim Morrison didn't endear himself to Ronstadt; she recalled: "We thought they were a good band, but we didn't like the singer".cite web | title=M O J O, the Rock'n'Roll Magazine| work= Homecoming Queen, April 1995| url= www.ronstadt-linda.com/artmojo.htm | accessdate = 2007-05-07 After this tour, Kimmel too exited the band.
Linda Ronstadt gamely moved forward and, effectively a solo artist already, started taking control of her career. She gathered more sophisticated material for the new album, including three songs by Tim Buckley that would become standout cuts on that album. "Tim used to live in a house that I lived in too, and we both used to move in and out ... that is, we stayed there alternately. It was the house he wrote about in 'Morning Glory,' which I call 'The Hobo'. That was the 'fleeting house.'" Buckley was among those in the group photograph that appeared on the back cover of the third album.
Although their final album still appears to be in the name of the band, the album name, Linda Ronstadt, Stone Poneys and Friends, Vol. III was purposefully vague, without a specific artist's name. Even the two singles from the album were released under different names, though Linda Ronstadt now had the burden of the Capitol recording contract: "See, The Stone Poneys were taken off the books after the second album. Since it was a hit, they made royalties off it. But I didn't. I paid all by myself for the third album, which was expensive, and it put me severely in the red by the time I started recording my first solo album."
Linda and Tim went on to occasionally tour together as solo artists:

Tim Buckley-Jeff Buckley Story
Frankly, by that time I had stopped listening to most music (except Linda's) and never watched tv so I was unaware there even was a son nonetheless a very talented one. Another real shame and loss. Strangely the video is reversed as is the cover photograph and they even looked and lived like different sides of the same coin.
More about Tim. I can see why Linda was so attracted to him. I don't understand why so many people become self-destructive and deprive the world or their god given gifts and presence. I suppose it is all part of the human condition.
Here is a song that Tim and Linda also share:
Tim's son Jeff was an extremely brilliant and talented musician. He was also a good kid and knew better then to mess with drugs. That often happens when you have a good mother and a weak father who is the best dad you could have ever had by setting himself up as an example of what not to do.
Very sad to say Jeff died while going for a swim in a river.
Read these lyrics and then watch this video that is nothing short of "Beatlesque."
If this is not prophetic I don't know what is:
Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress
Oh... that was so real
We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation and i fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause i thought i'd hurt my mother
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under
Oh... that wasso real
I love you, but i'm afraid to love you
I love you, but i'm afraid to love you
I hope this short post will entice you all to explore more from the genius that is the Buckley's Tim and Jeff, a father son story like no other. I could never say enough good things about them.

Larry Beckett (born April 4, 1947) is an American poet, songwriter, musician, and literary critic. As a songwriter and music arranger, Beckett collaborated with Tim Buckley in the late 1960s and early 1970s on several songs and albums, including the critically acclaimed "Song to the Siren" which has been recorded by many artists, from This Mortal Coil to Robert Plant.
With Tim Buckley
Beckett, Buckley, and Fielder frequented Hollywood together where they were introduced to the area's art and music scene. Buckley and Beckett started writing together in the mid-1960s as members of Southern California rock band The Bohemians, with Buckley on rhythm guitar, Brian Hartzel on lead guitar, Beckett on drums, and Jim Fielder (later of Blood, Sweat & Tears) on bass. They recorded a demo for Elektra Records, I Can't See You, but the company was only interested in Buckley as a solo artist, not the group

I wonder if that is Buckley's wife pictured with him in the group photograph that appeared on the back cover of the Stone Poneys third album? (answer: no, it is Jainie Goldstein who was his then girlfriend) Could this be the "fleeting house" that Linda and Tim shared and sang about? (yes, Morning Glory aka Hobo) The house was on Hart Avenue in Santa Monica near the beach. Jim Morrison lived one street over. Larry Beckett appears on the stairwell behind Linda and next to the woman holding the dog in her lap.
