I've never heard of this guy but, man, isn't he THE BEST interviewee? Bursting with enthusiasm and wonder. Fantastic storytelling.
Damn. I need to hear Foodstamp Love now!
Holy cow. That was amazing.
A perfect example of, "If you dig what you do, do it because you dig it "
his shows are even better! I just got to see him in Ann Arbor with Paul Thorn, and they were incredible!
Go see him live, it's a great time
Love his enthusiasm and energy for sure.
Agreed - instantly got me hooked on the story. Another hero's journey to aspire to
Best thing about Steve Poltz - he never grew up! That youthful excitement and wonder is alive and well in him.
Ditto.......I loved Dr Demento!
@@libbytown I loved 91X!
Forget that Dos Eques guy. THIS is the most interesting man in the world!
I didn't know the name Steve Poltz until today, but I'll be damned if this wasn't the Otis Gibbs interview that just hit home and resonated the most. Out of the so, so, so many Otis Gibbs interviews I've watched and had already supremely enjoyed. What a storyteller...and what a life he's led. I'll go see him in whatever hole in the wall venue he finds himself in within driving distance of my home. I think I'm going to watch it again just to hear it all once more.
Poltzy is worth a long drive - his shows are life changing!
Steve is a genuine, modern day American troubadour.
Thank you for bringing Steve Poltz into my life....I never knew what I was missing!
I cant believe he is 64yo. Possibly my favourite Otis Gibbs interviewee yet. God bless Otis for introducing folks to all these awesome storytellers!
Thanks Otis for bringing us these guys who hold the history of modern music.
All good art is like smoke that finds all the openings doors and windows failed to understand how to block. ☘ Thank you both.
❤ good...
How does someone go from vaguely familiar to the guy you'd most want to have a beer with in Nashville or San Diego.
I Love this guy so much . Steve is really honest ,entertaining and refreshing. A real performer whos in it for the right reasons and a hillarious style of storytelling. Thank you
Great Steve Poltz interviews, right up there with the Kenny Vaughn interviews. Outstanding!
Steve is really genuine, love this guy.
I think a Steve Poltz/Todd Snider/Otis Gibbs concert tour would go over big
First time I saw Jewel sing we were both just kids, I was sitting on a barstool by my daddy at the Yah Sure Club, she might have been in jr high school. It was clear to me even then that her soul had already lived many lives.
Otis you need to have Steve on more often. He is so freaking funny. He needs to have his own podcast
Thanks
This guy is amazing, for me one of the best interviews on your channel Otis. Definitely up there with Kenny Vaughan… looking forward to listening to more of him ❤
Steve tells it like it was, I had forgotten about Dr. Demento, but remember listening to him, what a fond memory. I love the phrase we aren't going to Poltzurize this song. Steve is such a unique, genuine character!
I can't believe this is 35 minutes. It flew by, and it's entertaining as hell.
What a cool dude Steve is !!! I have been a gigging musician since the late 60’s. I totally vibe with his attitude. I’m sober for 12 years myself and still happy to be making music at age 69.
A local treasure here! Thanks Otis (“can I call you Otis?”) for putting him on the mic!
Otis, you know the most interesting people. I feel like I could sit down and talk with Steve Poltz for hours. He is equal parts storyteller and philosopher. I find him really engaging because his enthusiasm for music and life in general really shines through. Those thirty-eight minutes flew by quickly and left me wanting much more. I love all of your videos, but this one really struck a chord with me, perhaps more than any of your others. I had a smile on my face from beginning to end.
Otis, I would one thousand times rather hear from people like Steve than any big star you could name. The household names that we all know have been interviewed so many times, they have canned responses to everything. They have images to protect. Your guests are much more interesting. 🎉Your interviews are outstanding because you make them about the person you’re interviewing and not about you. I noticed that you left more of your part of the conversation in this one than you typically do. I think it added a lot to the video and I hope you’ll do if more frequently.
Thanks for introducing us to Steve. I hope we’ll be hearing more from him.
Otis and Steve…thanks so much . We are your people.
You've hit the nail right on the head. Any music will be recognized as a hit when it's come from the heart not contrived.
73-year-old Southern California native… Congratulations on having your song played on Dr. Demento!!
So exciting to hear your song on FM radio… I remember the first time I had a song played on college radio absolutely amazing experience
I think Steve Poltz is really kind of a national treasure. One of my heroes. Thanks, Otis, for this excellent conversation with Steve.
Omg. This guy is priceless. Best storyteller ever, and a True musician. The birds outside towards the end...just giving affirmation to his Truth. God bless Otis Gibbs for giving Us this interview!
Otis - these are some fantastic interviews, remarkable and hilarious stories. If this channel gets some deserved traction, it could get big, very big. Poltz is a gem.
Wonderful story and character… I don’t know Steve and his music, but he tells the stories of those times so beautifully and was so much humor. Absolutely delightful thank you.
Inspiring and joy-filled! Thank you Steve and thank you Otis… 😎
I love this guy. In 1994 I was living in a vw bus with my girlfriend driving around the country following the grateful dead surfing and doing 90s things ( if you were there you know) and he's spot on he mentioned that song and it immediately took me back there. Thanks otis. Peace ✌️ everyone from Cleveland. Stay cool 😎
Brilliant. For the record I love it when a performer tells the story about how they cowrote a song and then performs it in their voice.
I [now] love Steve Poltz!!!
fantastic interview Otis! Steve's generosity in sharing is pure artistic nourishment!!
Wow, that was great, thank you! I saw Poltz back in the 90’s, just after his Mercury debut came out, and I remember how entertaining he was. It’s been ages but I’m going to take that album out and listen to it again. I loved it back then, and I’m sure I’ll love it again.
I didn’t know who Steve was before your first interview. I spend yesterday going down the Steve Poltz rabbit hole. Can’t being I didn’t know anything about him before yesterday. Thanks so much Otis
I realized the movement of female singers in the 90s, but never realized it as a movement from Grunge. Great point.
Remember watching Steve Poltz play at the troubadour in Brisbane, playing well past the closing. I ask the venue owner how long can he play for? Happily hearing "Poltz is the only one who can play for as long as he wants" 🎵🏆
I have never stopped a video so many times to watch something or someone that was referenced in a video. Steve is an awesome story teller. Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
And that T Shirt….The Woodstock house of the Band! I want it!!!!
Love Steve Poltz episodes!
Been a fan since the 90s. Lightning 100 would play Silver Lining. He's funny as hell. This needs to be a regular thing.
This is pure gold!!! Really really great. Thank you Otis. Thank you Mr. Poltz. I feel different in a good way after listening to these two interviews.
He is so down to earth and he a real jewel..
This is Theo Otis.. I love what you are doing for us. I could listen to your friends and you every day. It’s a real lesson of what is real in the world..
I am loving this. Just loving it. Thank you, Otis.
Great point about being amenable later in life. There’s a great lesson in that.
Otis, Steve, thank you so much for this! Having the worst week, but these stories have me glued and on the edge of my seat! Can’t believe this is my first (definitely not the last time being entertained by Steve. Paused the interview long enough to download some of his music to get me started, searched his tour dates, Nashville tonight, I’m an hour away and tempted to make the drive even if I have to hear it through the wall! Can’t help wondering if he and Todd Snider have ever co-written? Thanks again Otis for all of your episodes. Everything is timing, no doubt!!!✌🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic interview Otis. Thank you Steve!
Love this guy! Great story teller ! Super talented
Hey Otis ! You've got to do more with Steve Poltz, highly entertaining, and what a great storyteller. " Dead Skunk" and Alan Sherman.. Classic ! LoL !! 🎵 Cheers from Nevada
Jewel performed The National Anthem at The Indianapolis 500 Mile Race last year and it was stellar
Everyone should watch it right now
Otis, you've hit a goldmine with Steve's great stories.
Hilarious stories. What a life! More power to ya Steve! 😀
Otis great interview Steve is a true Carlos Castaneda😅😊 I love these stories and the journey thank you
Delightful. The Big Pink T shirt seals the deal.
Wow! Love Steve Poltz...he's funny!
I love this.
TY for the open-ended conversation.
This very well may be the longest answer to a question.
Great interview. 👍 I love that Big Pink shirt 😊
I'm a heterosexual man who has been married for 25 years but do you think, if I fed him and was really kind to him, Steve could come and live with me?
Wow, again Steve is a really cool guy. His stories are top shelve no doubt. I thought Kenny took the cake but Steve is right up there! Bravo!
Thanx for this Otis....the greatest story ever told....
Here you go Steve, you said it, "Welfare Tit" is the next big hit for Billy Strings!
THE most entertaining interview you've done in a while Otis. :) Being able to see Lee Sklar and Jim Keltner thru binoculars would make my day. "POLTZERIZE" ... hahaha. I've been asked to 'Bretify' other people's music for decades and know what you mean, Steve.
These are amongst the greatest stories ever told.
Great interview. I could listen to him go on for hours! Thanks O!
I love this dude. He had an all-star band for his record. I'm halfway through this interview and want find this record
I'm from San Diego as well. Didn't really ever know Steve, but I was around when he was. Played with the Rugburns I'm sure a few times early on? memory is foggy at this point? maybe Megalopolis? I think we more or less ran in different circles. He (and Jewel) became legends of course. I remember it went from have you seen this girl Jewel at a coffee shop (which I never did. not my scene) to holy shit she's on MTV like overnight. back then San Diego was exploding. it had been dubbed the next Seattle for breakout artists, sadly it never really happened for more than a minute few. kind of like our sports teams. only good enough for a season or two? haha... so great seeing this interview. it's confirmation to all the local folklore from long ago. your interviews, commentary, and ideas are the best Otis! keep up the good work!
I used to have a massive crush on Jewel, haven't heard of her for so long
Glad to know I'm not the only soul with Wacky Westerns, Goofy Greats AnD OThErS still rattling around in the old grey matter..and pre-Hippie flowers to Roger Miller for just having been Roger Miller. I'll forgo the thousands of other campy quips floating around up there. ☕ Y'all served up another great cup today. ✌️
Ottis, Steve is magic in a bottle, what a story teller! 😂😂 My advice is to hold him captive and keep on milking him for stories, my wife and I have been crying with laughter! If I had of realized the stories he had I would have abducted him while he was down here in Australia…👀🤫😂😂🤣
Otis you are American hero getting all these stories so they live on 👍👍👍
Please tell the birds in the backyard thank you for the background music! 🐦
Otis, sir…you run with some truly gifted and interesting people. Mr. Poltz, besides his music and songwriting, is a truly gifted story teller. He is one of your best interviewees, and really fun to listen to.
thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!
Love this guy!
This dude is such a great storyteller! I can’t believe he’s 64! I guess a life of music and surfing will keep anybody young!
Amazing he played The Bayou in Baton Rouge, I hung out there all the time in the mid 90's, probably saw this guy there and just don't remember it due to copious consumption of various substances.
Love the rugburns!!
Love this guy best interview yet. Please have him on again...
I notice a pattern here Otis. You only interview* genuine people with interesting stories. This is a fascinating meeting. I would love to hear Steve Poltz on The Dead.
*You have a very effective interviewing technique which is basically to get out of their way and let them talk. It sounds simple and of course this is edited, but your way of doing things is to stay in the background (literally) and let folks tell their stories and it really works. We had a T.V. journalist here in the UK years ago, Alan Whicker (parodied by Monty Python) who, when asked about his interviewing style, said that he would often leave a hole of silence and invariably his subject would fill it for him. I don't think you get the credit you deserve on the way you conduct these things.
I could listen to Steve telling stories for days he is such a cool dude, he is the DUDE!!😂
This is outstanding!!!✌️
Steve Poltz is great! I'd love to hang out with the dude. I'm gonna look up & find one of his gigs to go to. Thank you, if I may call you Otis? 😂 Happy Trails!✌
lol I was just singing Hello Muddah to myself the other day. Great interview.
Check out the Rugburns “single life” and “Me and Eddie Vedder” classics!
God, I could listen to steve tell me stories all day long. He is wonderful and makes me laugh so hard. What a great guy. Thank you for sharing this.
Steve Poltz, is a Genuine Simple Man and has seen & done so much! It’s a pleasure to hear his fantastic stories of Music with that antidote of his Father receiving that $130,000 check is incredible! Great Interview Otis!
Last of the “Red Hot Troubadours” great Interview Otis! Makes me remember why I went this way, at the fork in the Road.
Wonder if anyone else noticed, or mentioned the "little pink house" on Steve's t-shirt?? A reference to "little pink houses" the song? LOL Great interview, really enjoyed that. --gary
I love that dude 🙏
Oh yea that dude I remember him from the 'ol San Diego days early 90's .He was in the Rugburns w/ Gregory Page. Jewel was around then still living in her car at ocean bch ..like '90 or so.
What an inspiring man…..I am thoroughly enjoying listening to this wildly amusing,lucid and erudite artist!
This was fun. lol. I wanna see him play.
This may be my favorite episode, Otis! I could listen to you and Steve for hours on end. Big thank you!
the world is lucky to have a Poltzy and Otis ill try to not suck and do so good thanks for the inspirations much love thanks - SJOCR
Steve and Otis, my peepulz!
Wow, I got so locked in here. Cool psychological investigations for things like "hanging on to your way only" when an experienced producer suggests things. It made me feel that experience(s) build self confidence, where you can entertain other ideas in objective ways to really make something great. Although, sometimes there were great artists who were steered wrong by terrible (commercially centered) producers, too. Fun, entertaining guest. It made me look for drug bust photos and try to see the song's video.
Love Steve’s enthusiasm for life. Such a cool guy. Thanks for interviewing him. You guys should do a road trip together and check out some places.
