The Resume

    (May 15, 1936- )
    Born in East Greenbush, New York
    Birth name is Hugh Romney
    Leader of the Hog Farm commune
    Appeared in the film ‘Woodstock'
    Had a Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor named after him

Why he might be annoying:

    He got his moniker when he collapsed on stage at a B.B. King concert while tripping on LSD and said: ‘I've melted into a wavy pool of gravy.'
    He had tie-dyed false teeth.
    He named his son Howdy Do-Good Gravy.
    He ran for the Berkeley city council with the slogan: ‘Let's elect a real clown for a change.'
    After four decades, he is still a hippie.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Woodstock's organizers said that the $16,000 they used to hire him and the Hog Farm to serve as security for the festival was the best money they ever spent.
    He joined with the World Health Organization to form Seva, a medical aid organization to combat preventable blindness in the third world.
    He was an MC at all three Woodstock festivals.
    Paul Krassner called him ‘the illegitimate son of Harpo Marx and Mother Theresa.'
