  • Rare Vashti Bunyan interview, titled "Where have all the flowers gone?" featured in 1970 BBC One documentary tv show "Everyman". Vashti and at the time partner Robert Lewis are travelling in their horse cart.
    I really hope this doesn't get copystriked.

    If anyone is interested, I have a copy of "From Here to Before" , the marvelous Kieran Evan's documentary about Vashti's travel. Unfortunately it has never been commercialized, but from time to time it pops up on the internet. Last time it did, I've downloaded it.
    It never was commercialized, sadly - supposedly because it contains some BBC footage, this one in this video in fact - which made it hard to distribute widely.
    If it will ever be commercialized I'll remove the download link: it's only fair to Vashti and Kieran, but until then I just want to give a chance to see the movie to all those who, like me, searched for it everywhere on the internet for years.
    Download link is below ;)

    "i felt I needed to teach them to live in the world that is - and not how I want it to be."
    that is probably the most important insight for parents who have any ideals at all.

    • @TheHarryPotters
      @TheHarryPotters  3 года назад +11

      That's a recipe for conservativeship if taken to an extreme, tho. Status quo sometimes needs changing: to teach your kids that things can be different, maybe more similar to what you'd desire, is not wrong.
      I think that Vashti's adventure ended due to necessities and possibilities: they were on their own in their "revolutionary" adventure - which as they stated wasn't started as a performance but as an heartfelt desire. Thing's tough, as she explained in her movie, and with children on their way, you need to figure out what's best for them as a whole.
      If they had the possibility to assure them the best while preserving their more unconventional lifestyle, I'd bet they would've done it

    She seems to be a truly wonderful person.
    Literally.
    Think about what the word 'wonderful' is really supposed to mean. It gets tossed around way too carelessly. And in the world we find ourselves in, the word 'wonderful' doesn't really apply to all that many things. That's why I'm so inspired, intriged, and enamoured by her.

    She is still beautiful, humble and soft spoken. Her voice and music are still haunting. I hope she has had a life well lived. God Bless.

      They took all the risk of living a truly anticapitalist life and, in the end, they couldn't make it. They had to go back to a more common life. I blame this torturing system that enslaves us on the altar of productivity above all else.

      Don't think like that man. If you believe there is no hope of living how you want to live you will never have any hope.
      People live alternative lifestyles in this modern age. You just have to remember that an alternative lifestyle is one that is limited by your imagination and attitude because only you can do it how you may want it. People like Vashti in the 60s didn't have anybody to look to and show them how to live, they had to do it for themselves. If you live a life you don't like nobody is gonna want to spend their time with you, but if you pave yourself the path to a future of happiness and peace then people will follow.
      Think for yourself, do what you want to do, don't let doubt bring you down. You don't want to live in city? Fucking move out stop being a bitch if your life is shit then fix it. Don't wait around to just die.

      A famous singer with a curious musical past: discovered in the '60s, she disappeared from the musical scene for thirty years due to the lack of success in what was a very pressuring and spectacle-driven musical scene. During these thirty years, unbeknownst to her, her fame kept growing and her music had developed a cult of follower. She found out about it in 1997, while randomly searching her name on the web as most of us do sometimes; there are plenty of video here in the correlated section, I suggest you to watch them! If you're interested, in the pinned comment down here there's a whole movie about her :)
