Alvin, this is my favorite video of yours. Isn’t it ironic how some things stick with us and end up shaping our lives. Glad to have found you and appreciate all your work
Nice video. It’s interesting that you got into fly fishing! I’m a 70 year old retired neurosurgeon, disabled, living as a hermit/monk, doing substitute teaching, when I can, and determined to go fly fishing a lot this upcoming summer, if I live. Your reminiscing on what was an insult is interesting. I recall an elderly woman, on a jet flight cross country, who told me: “You can always assess the spiritual condition of a person by the ease with which they are offended.” At that time I recall being easily offended. You obviously turned what was intended to insult you into a beneficial motivator! Well done. I’m going to watch some of your fishing videos. Thanks for posting and God bless. As I recall Mondale got creamed? Reagan won the Cold War? We’re in a real mess now? Trump 🆚 Biden II? My predominant thought: Why can’t we do better than these “Rich scoundrels”? Camelot died a long time ago! However, no one seeks out my opinion. My current motivation, besides fly fishing, is encouraging people to avoid alcohol and learn how to live ALCOHOL FREE!
Man this comment is so great I had to read it o my wife. Love it. We have been alcohol free for a couple of years now and it is amazing. Good luck out there!
@@AlvinD If God hated Sake, he would have made it taste like wine! I don't drink anything stronger though, because they're called Spirits for a reason.
Trump tells you endlessly how nobody in DC pays taxes.... And you hate him for it. hilarious. Then you vote against him. I don't wanna hang out with him, but how can you possibly complain about rich people and vote against him? Are you slow?
Love the reflection on a formative moment aided by the perspective time allows. Glad you used it for good. I hope he can smile and laugh as much as you do. Thanks for this one.
I would love to see where that dude is today. Definitely not somebody I would want to spend my free time watching on RUclips. Regardless, look where YOU are! You are good people Alvin. Thanks for being you.
I grew up with you, skating with the big boys, going to your shows, fly fishing, seeing you and jt at the angler days. Good times. We breathe the same air, brother.

WOW! Thank you for taking the time out of your life to make and share this video. It gives me hope that there are people like you out there that feel the same way. God Bless!
Good morning Alvin, I enjoy listening to your insights. I always enjoy and learn from others folks. Somewhere along the way we have lost that. Now it is “I am right and you are wrong” what happened to everyone’s thinking. I am 67 now but I enjoy being with people with differing opinions and views. It will either reinforce my views or look deeper to see the error I have. We all change on our journey hopefully that person did as well. I live by the saying “ better are wounds from a friend than the kiss from an enemy “. So glad that I came across your channel keep it strong. Oh one last thing I came across my Father’s old tax information. His whole life he never made over 93,000 dollars. But he was a man of integrity. A character quality I believe we have lost and need so badly today.
Wonderful insight. Nice thing is.... you're a fisherman like me! A much better one, granted, but we do have that in common. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I was born and raised in Sterling, ILLINIOS, REGAN went to Dixon , Illinois 10 miles apart of the 2 towns and Ronald Regan was a destruction for my community! ALL THE SMALL FARMERS.
I agree with you that Reagan would hardly be looked upon as a Republican now, certainly by the far right....which is pretty crazy. Thanks for sharing this story.
Just found your videos, Alvin. You seem like a down-to-earth, good-hearted, honest person. Listening to your videos is like sitting and talking with a friend. I have a good buddy and we get together every so often, just to talk (or as we call it, "solve the world's problems). You'd fit right into one of our conversations. The conversations you're sharing in these videos seem about like the ones we have. I've just subscribed to this channel and about to check out your fly fishing channel. Thank you, sir!
I was born and raised in Texas during a similar time (class of '87) . I no longer live in Texas after I moved away in '91 but I too was into the punk scene in Dallas. I often while talking to someone around my age reflect back when we could have conversations and still be friends or at least not have violence as an outcome of that disagreement over politics. I do miss the food and laid style Texas can have. Not sure why you came across my recommended video but I am glad you did. Very good story teller, it is a true art.
I know I'm late to the party, but I've loved all the videos ive seen of yours so much! I had a similar inspiration, I had a cop (with a full camera crew) sit there and tell me how i'd never be anything more than a pizza boy. In a way, he was right, but I'm finally leaving my pizza job to be a psychosocial rehabilitation specialist on monday!!! Proud of us both. Love to see the progression our world and country has made since the 60's.

I grew up rich but my parents never spent any money on materiel things so I really didn't know they were loaded. My dad farmed part-time at two places and had a full time job and my mom worked one full time job. We had people who lived in our county who still used outhouses and used a tub to take a bath and it was already the late 80's early 90's. My parents made us work during the summer...my dad said we couldn't work during the school year because he had to so he I guess felt that he didn't want his kids to have to work.except for farm chores but that only took a half hour a day once the crops were in. We only had to water the sheep and take care of lambs in the winter time. It was our job to bottle feed the lambs that were rejected. My parents both worked and we could always take a nap at lunchtime during school or study hall if we had one.
That was very classy Alvin. Your comeback could have been "you are offering me a job and you haven't even seen my transcript?". Some of my greatest motivators in life have been those who were against me. Like you, I am doing well and living blessed. Keep up the great work and excellent fly fishing videos. God Bless and tight lines, Anthony H.
Now that ones a blast from the past! Yeah I'm pretty sure that guy was one of the guys they were talking about in the song. ruclips.net/video/Kz4oXySoBQc/видео.htmlsi=YW2qhsklwvB_TLuH
I have seen several videos of Ronald Regan… of which he “preached” or warned about socialism… which is now the democratic stance. And as a Republican, though he was for capitalism… but he was against greed, of which unfortunately most capitalist minded people tend to be greedy… but then this is my view regarding politics in general: I hate capitalism… but I also hate socialism… so where would that place me or people like me?
So the video wasn't at all about socialism vs capitalism but I'll tell you what I think but I think we need to come to an agreement about the definition of socialism. This is the basic definition from the Oxford dictionary - so·cial·ism /ˈsōSHəˌliz(ə)m/ noun a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Watch this video on the definitions of these different philosophies and let me know what you think. ruclips.net/video/NnVQ7UKNr1o/видео.htmlsi=NOlhiYLYD3whui47
@AlvinD so that community, is representative by the state ,right? Yes sir it is right. And in theory, it sounds great..but unfortunately, humans are involved and over time, the ones in government get rich. And the rest get poorer. . Kinda like the USA today. .
As a hardcore punk kid who came up in Florida in the early 80’s, I love your videos and I am also jealous you got to be part of the amazing Austin punk scene back then. Big Boys are one of my all-time favorites. Keep up the good work, brother. Hope I get to fish with you some day.
The daily morning decisions that you were forced to make would have affected anyone down to their cells. I am glad your parents were there for you in your home. I think it makes it endurable and gives some peace of mind at least where you lay your head at night. Your ability to speak freely and think critically is something I hold dear.
So do you think that you missed out by having Reagan win after his first term. I grew up with those two also. Mondale actually came to our town for his campaign. I was surprised by that for such a small town. And we never know where the incentives will come from.
I don't think it really made a difference who won that election. The seed was planted either way, I think I would have felt the same way if Mondale would have won.
Bro what!? 1984 so you're pushing 60? I thought you were around my age maybe 45 tops. I have Kleinfelters syndrome and that comes with a trademark "youthful appearance" for many of us with that trisomy, but you're on another level dude. This is some portrait of Dorian Gray level agelessness lol dang
That guy introduced you to the friend/enemy distinction. If you own a business, the types who want to democratize it and redistribute funds can be seen as an enemy. If you're a worker, the men who want to hoard wealth come across as demonic. He told you to get on board or drown. We pretend to like each other, but we don't. We vote so our enemies lose just as much so our friends win. Not saying he was right to say that though, you shoulda smacked him.
I live in the Netherlands and have a great friend who lives in the US, he's an average white guy with kids around the same age as mine.We often discuss the similarities and differences between our two social systems, one of the chats,a few years ago, he was very upset about something to do with his oldest son not getting a place in his chosen university, not that he didn't meet the requirements or have the best qualifications but because he was white. The university has to allow a certain number of black and minority people in at the expense of white and Asian people, even if they don't have the required qualifications...... His son had worked hard and sacrificed lots of his social life to get the best qualifications and had earned points by volunteering to work in the community to help the underprivileged and homeless. He has a place in a different university but what really bites is when they were out to dinner he heard a group of young people talking about going to university and one of the black guys said he was glad he didn't need to work so hard because he will get the edge because there are places reserved for black people with lesser qualifications....... As a European this is ridiculous situation that suggests that black people need help ( in other words not intelligent enough... what an insult) and is very bad for me future by not getting the best person....
Well affirmative action was not even part of the story here, but since you brought it up. You and your friend have had the wool pulled over your eyes. The US supreme court has outlawed affirmative action but not legacy admissions which by some estimates takes up as much as 45% of the admissions at some Ivy League colleges. Way more than affirmative action ever did. Legacy admissions mean that you are more likely to get in if your parents went to that school. So your friends son and the minority students are left fighting over the scraps. A classic diversion by the powered class to get those underneath them fighting among themselves while they carry on with business as usual. So the slightly better off keep kicking down on (blaming) those less fortunate than them. Please watch this video and share it with your friend.ruclips.net/video/E-QDbGvVcHM/видео.htmlsi=XBXMc_g83B04TWyn
While I’m sure it’s great to have a lot of money, it can all be spent or lost. The values and knowledge you gain through life and the the choices you make to do the things you are passionate about with the people you love are surely worth more than something you can just buy. Love this kind of content
I didn't have sh#t. My first president election. Parents were big dems. In the South in the 70s you had to be to get a state job in NC. I decided I was an independent and voted for Reagan. My parents were paying 21% on their mortgage. But hey, you do you. No hate here.
Fortunately, Alvin, you were astute enough in your youth to understand that what anyone SAYS of a derogatory nature about you cannot and should not hurt you. Every young person today, whether black, white, or otherwise, could learn from you. Hateful (or stupid) words should have no effect on anyone, except maybe to motivate one to prove that insults can’t stop one from believing in oneself and moving on from the moment. Congratulations on the man you became. I’d be willing to bet you instilled the same sort of self respect into your children.
It depends upon how old you were and established. My parents both had full time jobs a house and no kids during the Reagan years. I have a deer hunting friend who had just graduated from school a few years before hand just had twin boys already had a daughter and his wife couldn't work he.haf to have three part time jobs and almost lost his house multiple times. So a lot of it was timing.
Man I was tearing it up in the 80s, check out this video. We made it in 91 or 92 but the band started in the 80s.ruclips.net/video/uStLrVvTtHo/видео.htmlsi=tPbN8nlUCfeiW7GK
I really do hope that guy is having a great life.
You are a nice person. Fuck that guy.
They told me I couldn’t, so I did…..
Always nice to see folks take things that were meant to hurt and use them for growth.
Alvin, this is my favorite video of yours. Isn’t it ironic how some things stick with us and end up shaping our lives. Glad to have found you and appreciate all your work

"My channel, my opinion." Best statement ever!!!

You're looking great for being old enough to vote in the 1984 elections!!!
Love your attitude!❤

Love the reflection on a formative moment aided by the perspective time allows.
Glad you used it for good. I hope he can smile and laugh as much as you do.

I hope so too!

Fort talks with Alvin. It should be a thing! ✊️

@AlvinD so that community, is representative by the state ,right? Yes sir it is right. And in theory, it sounds great..but unfortunately, humans are involved and over time, the ones in government get rich. And the rest get poorer. . Kinda like the USA today. .
I think more and more people are leaving towards libertarian ideals.
I used to be left , but after all the lies we have been told by govt and "authorities" I'm now more of an anarchist
Keep doing your thing Alvin!
That's the plan, thank you!

So do you think that you missed out by having Reagan win after his first term. I grew up with those two also. Mondale actually came to our town for his campaign. I was surprised by that for such a small town.
And we never know where the incentives will come from.
I don't think it really made a difference who won that election. The seed was planted either way, I think I would have felt the same way if Mondale would have won.

Well affirmative action was not even part of the story here, but since you brought it up. You and your friend have had the wool pulled over your eyes.

clean those leaves up
I got a few bags today.
The heck with Negative stories I could right a book. I have had people talk down to me. I over look it . Just talk fly fishing.
Fly Fishing only on the other channel youtube.com/@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing?si=2aJBniUzfo4Rb9DI
You're a better person than me. I'd left there with an assault charge.
😂
Perhaps you’ve guided him at one time over the years…
That is possible.
Wait, what?! You are Black? All I see is a cool dude who loves to fish……….
😂
Reagan was the second worst President of all time.
And are you actually serious about this??
So how is that? I am wondering how you came to that conclusion??
It depends upon how old you were and established. My parents both had full time jobs a house and no kids during the Reagan years.
I have a deer hunting friend who had just graduated from school a few years before hand just had twin boys already had a daughter and his wife couldn't work he.haf to have three part time jobs and almost lost his house multiple times. So a lot of it was timing.
Bruh, you really dated yourself with the Reagan story. You look like you were born in the 80's.
Man I was tearing it up in the 80s, check out this video. We made it in 91 or 92 but the band started in the 80s.ruclips.net/video/uStLrVvTtHo/видео.htmlsi=tPbN8nlUCfeiW7GK
Wow. You were pretty uppity uppity in school huh?
Seriously you were, no self respecting burnout would've done that without being forced to.
Done what?

Please explain??
Lied to that trickle down doesn't work. And he's white😅😮😢😂😅😮😢
“Politically active” I found means lots of bloviating and gathering, and yelling…with very little knowledge of what they’re yelling about.
That's your opinion, like I said my channel, my opinion.
