Thanks so much for this interview, heck of a job. For those folks who really would like a change to have a "meet and greet" with Jimmy, he probably still does them after his shows. I've attended numerous shows over the past 30 some odd years and he's truly a marvelous, gracious human being to chat with, and very humble. His songs will live until the end of the ages, God Bless you Jimmy Webb!!:-)
jesus i'm glad he said all the songs now sound alike. i thought it was maybe some deficiency in me. i remember in 68 watching by buddy's mom washing the dishes and singing the hit of the moment. where are those songs now? who could sing this shit doing dishes?
Talent is common. Genius is uncommon. Jimmy Webb is a genius. And he came around at the right time. I didn't know the Association turned down MacArthur Park. Idiots. The song would've been a hit for them and they would've saved us from Richard Harris. Or Glen Campbell, who sang it well and played a mind-boggling guitar solo, would've had the original hit version.
This was right after the September 25th Concert in Atlanta at The City Winery, This is a great interview for songwriters. I really learn a lot each time I watch the interview just because he talks about songwriting. I just have to comment about the paying of musicians as little as possible: we live in a world where science not art is rewarded and musicians go unnoticed. This is because most people, if you want to call them technical people or mechanical types really do not understand music and that machines really cannot produce music because music comes from the soul and humans must do that: write, produce, perform.
Jimmy Webb is a musical genius. Songwriters are the greatest artists, IMO.
Thank you for that. Perfect.
Jimmy is a very poetic lyricist, but of the people, of the everyday (where we all live)
Super good interview!...loved the total variety of radio music back in the day....Glenn Campbell always gave credit to Jimmy Webb .
World Wide Jimmy Webb. Very Cool.
Thanks Jimmy Webb
Jimmy is right, Harry Nilson was a great songwriter and performer.

LOVE these interviews! So insightful & interesting. Thank you, Gentlemen. 📝🙏🏼❤️🎶
I hope he comes to Yuma,Az someday!
Your songs paint a picture. Feelings deep from your expression.
thanks for sharing, good to hear Mr. Webb's stuff, different than Miles Davis's... STUFF

We've all been miserable at times in our lives and it's usually a lost love that costs us the most

I agree todays music is very chant oriented. Even in church today the old hymns were lyrics the new church music is chant.
Webb's lineman is like Lennon's Imagine .
The 60$ deserves a 2nd round from a new generation🎶🎵🎶⚠👁⚠
i can relate to wanting to paint lol and i totally understand what he's saying! i want to paint also and i do it with my words!!!
Jimmy is bang on about his comments on the new song writers around 23 minutes
it’s repetitive lyrics
Thank you
Awesome interview!
Thanks for this interview!
I have never heard even one song by Jim Webb that I wanted to hear again.
"The Last Unicorn" sung by "America"? From the 1982 animated movie "The Last Unicorn". Soundtrack by Jimmy Webb.
Wonder what you do like.
Ever heard Maxence Cyrin play Nirvana’s “Lithium”?
One of the greatest song alliterations - “…so safe, so sane, and so secure….” Worst that could happen. 1969
Gordon Lightfoot refused to listen to the Beatles for a while because he considered them competitors.
Joni Mitchel made him sit and listen.
And Joni’s a painter as well.
Great interview , Thank you guys so much..... yeah the clinton laws creating media monopolies ruined everything Great in real music.
Let’s add Joni Mitchell to that list.
How do you get from Sue Loves You to Eleanor Rigby? Tavistock and Theodore Adorno
