  • Summary

    I have been a die-hard fan of the band Blue Öyster Cult since a friend loaned me a copy of The Revolution by Night in the seventh grade. Donald Roeser (a.k.a. Buck Dharma) is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated guitarists in rock-and-roll history. Although many people might not recognize the name, they probably know his best-known song, “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper.” It was used in the original Halloween movie, and later—more prominently—during the opening credits of the television adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. It continues to enjoy steady rotation on classic rock radio, and experienced something of a renaissance at the turn of the millennium after being featured in the classic Saturday Night Live sketch “More Cowbell” starring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken.
