Nov 18, 2008 - One of the longest videos I've watched on YouTube and one of the most entertaining.What a nice guy. Very ordinary but engaging, enlightning, amusing and genuine.A musical genius, but still human thank goodness. A great antidote to so much of the "music industry" today.

Nov 18, 2008 - Robert is great but the female interviewer was a bit much.She tries to sound intellectual, but Robert is polite and rolls with it.

buddhabreath Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I love you Robert, thank for being you. It feels like having a friend I will sadly never meet.

actron Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Excellent comment.

actron Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Thats funny, I feel the same way.His speaking voice has such a strong link to his singing voice and he always has great things to say.

actron Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Yes, I too watched this entire thing.I love his insight into music and making music, and an excellent sense of humour as well.

tone2thebone Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - thank you so much for this! Robert is a true genius of our time. ps - I don't think he was joking when he listed Janet Jackson as someone he listens to, despite the laughs :)

Nov 18, 2008 - if he lived in a muslim ghetto he'd know what people a scared of, how smug.

kh23797 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Well, I liked the girl interviewing. She seemed quite sweet to me.

nationaltryst Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - from "hope for happiness" to "comicopera," we've been with you every step of the way, robert.

nationaltryst Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - three cheers for robert wyatt!!! possibly the single most influential artist among my friends & me. his music throughout his brilliant career demonstrates the value of honesty & humanity in art & music, & gives us hope on such occasions as the charlatans seem poised to ruin music yet again! they never succeed, because they're in it for the wrong reasons. robert's poise, honesty, sense of humor, humility & effortless wisdom inspire us all. (listen to me ramble on...that's the charlatan in me!..)

nationaltryst Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - unfortunately, i have to agree about the female interviewer. i think she means well, but she's definitely out of her depth. robert is, as you point out, exceedingly patient and polite, as we would expect.
