Went to see this guy just before lockdown. Jesus, he is frighteningly intelligent! If you go to see him please don’t expect regurgitated ‘70’s poems ( although thankfully you will get a couple). He is bang up to date and so sharp I am convinced that he sleeps in the knife drawer.

@@G58 I can't see any evidence that JCC is a covid-denier conspiracist, so I assume he did wear face masks and did take a vaccine. Which goes hand-in-hand with his intelligence.
He's right. Pretty sure I'm addicted to youtube especially. All the music performances, film clips, interviews, travel blogs, science info at my fingertips at all times. Then at home I have access to thousands of the greatest albums ever made. The greatest films ever. TV shows. Sport 24/7. Time has become a bit warped. Every decade from 1960 onwards has been recorded and is accessible to me in this window. It's too much for the mind. I love it. I feel like a King at times. Like a God. But it can't be good for us to have access to this much.
I agree 100% youtube is the most awesome and most interesting of all social media imo the music on there the concerts the seminars of famous instrumentalists it has it all ! 🏆
@@iedermensisandersI'm addicted to RUclips also, I've been on Premium for almost a decade now, and that gives me RUclips Music as well, so I've canceled all my other subscriptions and my bank balance notices it as well 🤗
Same here. My mind is a sponge. I have never been so addicted to anything as I am to learning about stuff that I have no intention of ever doing. Last night was one video after another of watch repairs. I don't even own a watch for heavens sake. Just about anything and everything interests me. I know that my life is ebbing away while I watch these things. I can't help myself.
I went and clicked on this video for the very reasons he talks about. This was funny! - but there lies the problem.. as he says.. distractions! with these little nuggets of gold.
Took my mum to see him a few years ago on mothers day, after the show she waited by the back door of the place & approached Toria with the words "Can I see JCC, i'm not a mad woman I promise" & they ended up all going for drinks at his hotel until the small hours. He sent her a signed book & she goes to his gigs each time he's in Lincoln.
By coincidence, I had been thinking about doing this myself and restricting computer use to the library PC for essential usage. He's right, get out and about. Time to unravel all this and get back to the way things used to be. They are only wanting to use what we do and say against us anyway, so time to quit. Get back to going to the bank or the post office to pay bills. If I have a think about it, I am sure I can eliminate so much of what we use a computer for.
You got some kind of technophobe reasoning. "Computers offer a great many useful features." "Computers are RUclips and I have no self control." "But what about the useful features? You don't need an internet connection to run Word." "Computers are RUclips and I have no self control." "Do you know what a computer is?" "Computers are RUclips and I have no self control."
I’m nodding my head watching this, but if I didn’t have an iPad I wouldn’t have seen all this brilliant stuff, I have to go out to get milk and I’m still f@#*ing alive, thank goodness
That's exactly my problem, I spend so much time on RUclips watching so much stuff... it's like a drug addiction really, it interferes with and destroys your normal life in so many ways.
Weirdest thing for me was when I first got RUclips, I found myself in a political debate with someone I thought was a complete idiot. I realized I was debating some kid who couldn't have been more than fourteen. I still cringe in embarrassment over that.
Why are 14 year-olds engaging in politics? Because the trolls made them engage. Now we are attempting political discourse with 14yos and trolls, and funnily enough, we get Trump and Brexit, neither of which could have happened 10 years earlier. The UK Independence Party regularly got a mere 5% of the vote in the early 2000's, but managed to get 50% in the era of social media. That's an indication of how powerful social media manipulation is, and how susceptible we all are to it. We vote for pussy-grabbing arseholes and shoot-yourself-in-the-foot trade plans.
Spoken like a true Aquarius.🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 Luckily for me, I live in the Chicagoland area and we have great pizza. If I'm gonna die next to a pizza box, extra cheese, spinach, some onions and some chicken. And beer. Gotta die with a beer gut!😂

Thanks to Phillip Lynott,a poet in his own right,I was turned onto JCC. Not a single word extraneous or wasted. Pure.
The boys are back in town. 😎
Then too much Whiskey in a Jar for Philiip.
Too much Pointy in the Arms actually...sigh. The Vagabond King forever.
I find it ironic that our afflictions are both substantiated and diagnosed through the very same medium.
Here I am laughing and totally agreeing with him... On my computer.
Exactly...me too...what a wonderful man he is.
Spot on! The internet is too damn addictive in more ways than one!
“The milk stopped being delivered an he fuckin died” 😂 idk why that line took me
That slight change in his tonality phrasing every time he says door and died...😂😂 Lmfao dead.

No it’s not.

I'm gunna start using carrier pigeons to send all my texts & emails for now on
Everyone: "He's right"
Me:
"He's got Instagram , Twitter , Spotify" 🤔
Damn it, he's got _ME_ sussed out!
Cardinal Doomsday especially the pants round the ankles part
He lives round the corner from me. I see him walking up and down the street with his big rasta hat on carrying his bag back from the shops.
That is class. Nice upload. Topper 👍🏽
he is right
one day, i spent all day watching him recite "evidently chicken town"
I played until 3 am last night. Got this as recommended today. The Gods of the Internet are watching me
He's so damn close to being right but he's going at such a breakneck speed it's all the more of a spectacle when he crashes

Obviously, he is not only aware of the dangers posed by computers. He knows a thing or two about combs, so he never uses one.
