      This was so intriguing. You did a fantastic job and that visuals were well done. I don't remember the last time I bought a book, but I will definitely be buying yours. Congratulations on the release.

      @officialjosha 8 лет назад +3

      27tl Comparing the book to an album and this excerpt to a song, it's set up like how a music video would be. Stephen King hasn't taken a chapter out of his book and adapted it, so it's just an interesting concept. I don't mean a literal music video, just using that as a reference.

    See, THIS is how you make a video. The visuals don't mirror the words precisely (that's just cheesy) but they complement and enrich the meaning of the words. Beautifully shot, lots of attention to detail (especially period-based details), and chock full of meaning. Seriously great job!

    It's really strange for me to relate to a video about touring the US because the usual fodder for such anecdotes is coastal or Texas way, but to have places here in the Midwest spoken about not with ire but with actual interest and insight really piqued my curiosity in your book, George. Thanks for this. I'd love it if it were also available in audio book because your cadence and timbre add so much to the experience.

    I know this video is kinda old, but I recently read a comment that said you made this video out of pocket, that is amazing. An artist has such a passion for what he does that he creates in another form. I have to say this video is truly inspiring and is probably the most well made video I have ever seen!!

    Hi Watsky. My name is Ashe, and I'm from Salina Kansas. I lived there my whole life. I've listened to you sense I was 11 and I'll be 20 next month, and that can't seem like very long I guess, but it's nearly half my life.
    So thankyou. You touched me in a way you can't understand. You're the reason I took up competitive public speaking, I used your poetry book too. Which let me travel the country, and gave me the drive to leave Kansas. I've moved away from Salina last year. You captured it so well I felt like I could have walked right outside and been there. It felt like things went full circle in a strange way.
    Thankyou you for helping me out of Salina, and back in for just a minute.
    Thankyou, Watsky. You've done alot for me.

Hope to attend one of your events when you're back here in Iowa.

    I've been a fan for a few years, and this honestly blows away almost everything else you've written. It's beautiful, full of imagery, and entertaining, and I can honestly say that this has sold me on buying your book. Thanks George, and keep up the good work.

    I'm living in Alaska right now but I'm originally from Kansas and lately haven't given my hometown much thought until I watched this. Thank you for reminding me where I come from and while people always say it's better to pass through Kansas than stay, I disagree. It's homey, and comfortable and has amazing memories, especially when I saw you in Lawrence in 2013. I can't wait to read your book.

    Oh man. This captures the emptiness and the disconnect of the Midwest so well. Places where you get excited if someone even mentions the name of your state because you feel so insignificant; it's a miracle anyone knows your home exists at all.
    God, I can't wait until my copy of the book comes through the mail.

    George I've been following your career since you put out your version of " The Difference Is The Differences". I can honestly say that you've been consistently putting out content that consistently improves, while it gets more meta and thought provoking. thank you for not giving up on your dreams so we can enjoy your passion.

    I come back to this video every so often. There's an undeniably human feeling to it. I know that the content isn't really meant to be "reassuring" but despite that I still finish watching with a sense of reassurance. That life will happen and we just kinda have to weave our way around the particularly nasty bits.

    The amount of time and effort that seems to have gone into this is truly amazing. Guys, not only did he write a book that will undoubtedly be amazing, but he put together a ten minute movie just to promote it and let the people who won't be able to afford the book a glimpse into it.

  • @Prophes0r
    @Prophes0r 7 лет назад

    I just bought the book, and 5 more for friends. Thank you for branching out.
    I also wanted to say, that I really enjoyed this video. I realize that it is totally infeasible to make many hours of these, but if you did, I'd watch them.
    Barring that, I'd even consider listening to an audiobook. I've never seen the point in having someone read a book to me, but the emphasis you can use to color your own words adds so much more to them.

  • @Awesomeone1234567

    Loving the book so far! My pre-order copy arrived today and I've been whizzing through it. Perfect balance of simple stories with enough thought put behind them.
