  • I am not sure if this is on youtube but I find it funny so I uploaded it.(audio by the way with pictures) Billy talks about the glasgow accent and singing a song about a woman wanting 10 guitars
    Billy always a class act.

    I live in Edinburgh but my mother was a Glaswegian so I often visited relatives there and can honestly say that Glasgow folk are the salt of the earth. Also I had no problem understanding what Billy was saying or what he was alluding to. The man's a comic genius.

    Billy gives warmth, beauty and life in his humour and by bringing the best out of his appreciators, he also, often, chases the threats of darkness by the laughter he creates.

    • @stacyblue1980
      @stacyblue1980 7 лет назад +6

      Yes he is a bit slower but he is not afraid to make a jab at Parkinson's. He is and has always been so relevant. So familiar in a great soul kinda way. Reminds me of some people I have known. But Billy still has a gift for humor and has made so many people feel so relevant themselves. He is so familial.

      elijah pink I’m from Castlemilk Glasgow and it’s great to truly understand what he’s going on about Hysterically funny . I remember his 1st ever Parkinson Interview early in his career . I never heard someone on tv speak like me ever in my life.He is the epitome of the Greatest Comedian of Glasgow behaviour , humour and story telling ever . Especially in the 70s he was So truthful and raw . He told us stories about poverty in Glasgow, stories about working in the ship building industry , alcoholics etc etc. He made it so funny no one (except ppl from that place/era ) knew deeply about what he was talking about and it made then laugh hard at they’re own predicaments . Especially in his early career as he spoke about poverty and how ppl dealt with it . He takes you to a dark place disguised with sarcasm and humour and we loved him for it . That’s how us Glaswegians deal with all sorts of things .
      So proud of what he’s achieved after such a horrible start to his life .
      Peace from Scotland
