/ qtv Jeff Buckley's Mom, Mary Guibert was recently on Q TV talking about the release of the DVD/CD compilation 'Grace Around The World'. Sorry for the title tease. :)
Gosh. That last minute of the interview. Combine the collective loss that everyone around the planet feels for losing Jeff Buckley and you don't even come close to what a mother must feel for losing a son. But Mary has to bear both. What an amazing woman. Thanks Mary.
You can tell the way speaks is very much like his mom. She is very articulate and she is also very musical. It made my heart wrench to hear how she tried to rekindle the father son relationship even though she was clearly abandoned. Respect for her .
I met Mary when I was working at a Greyhound Shelter in Garden Grove with Jeffs half brother Corey, she was awesome, and Corey gave all the employees cassettes of My Sweetheart The Drunk and guitar Picks. Yeah'" your'e jealous a little bit go on admit it, haha.
As a 40yr old music fan I probably only hold about 5 artist's truly dear to me..Jeff is one of them.Hallelujah gets the limelight but Last Goodbye is up there with the elite.The Chicago performance of it was life changing for me.
I am so grateful to Mary Guibert for keeping Jeff's musical legacy alive for all of us fans. A truly brilliant woman, a kind and giving spirit. I will only support projects that she has endorsed. If you read this Ms. Guibert, thank you. Your gifts mean so much to me.
What Mary had to say about why she thinks people connect with Jeffs music (at 7:17) to me, was incredibly profound & so true... It actually brought tears to my eyes (& Im always the one rolling my eyes at people who "cry" watching videos) Jeffs music does awaken something within you & depending on the song (& my mood) can evoke feelings of inspiration, melancholy or even make me feel like can kick the worlds ass lol! But I love how she described it, thank you Mary x
Oh Lord! What a heavy duty it must be for her to be the curator of her beloved son's legacy. She's done him proud. I guess the only thing more painful than remembering him would be forgetting him. Bless you ma'am.
I know people say Jeff looked like Tim and sure, of course, but wow, look at her eyes. You can see Jeff staring out of them. Her mannerisms - They remind me of Jeff as much as his actions reminded me of Tim. The teeth too. Very Jeff. That little head tilt she does to the right when saying 'pontificating'. Jeff. Wow.
when she answered his question about how she celebrates jeff with: "i laugh. then i cry.", i shed a tear.

This was a seriously excellent interview. He asked great questions and was 100% genuine in his appreciation and curiosity. Well done.
I cried like a baby when he died so tragically...I even remember Tim's career and sad demise ...he had so much more to give...

I just want to give Mary a hug and say Thank You for bringing a soul into this world, that has touched mine so deeply.

Great interview. Thank you so much for sharing.
Mary Guibert...ohhhb....your sorrow and your smile on Jeff' s memory...is MINE TOO !!!! How I adore Youuu
Thanks for this! The public needs much awareness about the "star machine" and how major artists are destroyed even as they are exalted.
I am a Jeff Buckley SuperFan!
This interview was *excellent* -- really worthwhile questions. Thank you, Q TV, for producing such a substantive interview.
