ah, che ricordo meraviglioso quella volta che, vent'anni fa?, dopo un suo concerto coi two pale boys in un minuscolo circolo arci a forlì, mio cugino carlo si avvicinò a david thomas, spalancò le braccia a centottanta gradi e, simile a un albatross nei pressi di saturno, d'un tratto lo abbracciò con tutto il trasporto di questo mondo. se adesso li guardo, lui e mio cugino, là in quel fumoso bar, con gli occhi stralunati della memoria, riesco quasi a vederli che spiccano il volo, veleggiano in cielo, si allontanano all'orizzonte... eccoli laggiù...
Wow. I am so glad that this video is available. And that the interview exists. Thomas is such a visionary artist, and it is great hearing him elaborate on his understanding of music and art.
this video is diamonds
A beautiful mind ….
Absolutely amazing.... Thomas at his least defensive in any interview I've ever seen or read... Long live!

"very ungracious"... Yes, but you bring it up every time, how superior you are to Talking Heads? Usually you bring up how bored you are with New York also.
David Thomas is original musically. His interviews and writing? Irritating to stupid (like his insistence that rock'n'rock is inherently American, and nobody not American can't make rock. The Beatles, he claims, will be forgotten in fifty years. Etc)
you don’t get someone interesting and uncompromising as DT if you want to agree with him on everything. he’s got a lot of bonkers opinions (r’n’r is inherently american but the beatles merged the garage and the avant before he did, let’s be real) but that’s where he’s coming from and if he didn’t have them he wouldn’t be him. and he wouldn’t have done the things he did. if him thinking he was superior to talking heads got us dub housing… i couldn’t care less if he’s insufferable about it
@@ultramouse I'm fine with Thomas being opinionated. But I will occasionally bring up when he's constantly stupid. You couldn't care less; I could. Shrug.
Yeah he brings up that story because it's funny and yes he doesn't like the New York punk scene because he felt its what ruined pop music at the time, things were veering into a post-punk direction long before the CBGB stuff was happening, and when punk broke in 77 now everyone was back to making nostalgic and backwards stuff, but who am I to judge, he respects Television, and I like some of those bands he doesn't like. The Beatles comment is somewhat warranted, as much as I love the Beatles to say they were the first to merge avant garde with rock music is such an unfounded claim as they were just really in tune with the underground at the time (which is at least impressive for a pop band) and then masquerading their developments as their own music, they were listening to Frank Zappa, AMM, Captain Beefheart... etc. Who were the real pioneers of these movements. And hell Lou Reed also said he thinks the English can't play rock and roll, it's an opinion, in some ways I get what they mean, that rock and roll "swing" the English kind of make it pretentious, they can't play straight rock and roll, but who am I to judge. I still love quite a few English bands. It'll be a miracle if the real underground legends of the 60s are the ones remembered and the pop mainstream artists are forgotten but that's probably too unlikely to happen, but I get where he is coming from with that claim.
