If you ever read this penny I would like to thank you for showing so many of us that there are genuine people out there by what you did with the band and for showing us young punks back then a different way than the paths we were being led down by who ever it may have been. Thank you for the love and it is reflected back to you and all your contemporaries
Sage words from a man who we could all learn a great deal from. It’s not rocket science...but it takes people like him who can articulate concepts to get the message out there. If you’re serious about changing things you’re going to have to take a good look at your own role in this whole situation first. He’s not a wishy washy dreamer...he’s quite belligerent, not just a man of words, he walks the walk.
And your journey is still going on! I believe we change all the time. As we keep our mind open and curiosity strong, the wisdom of life will finally reveal itself.
When I was exposed to Crass I ended up in a library time and time again trying to figure it all out, I was raised totally drowning in a fantasy world of ideas and concepts which had excluded and denied the existence of every thing else on this planet including the planet itself. It took many years till I really understood these folks were serious and they were not alone, I was not alone and I could leave that world behind the moment I was ready. Crass was my introduction to DIY, Anarchism, Permaculture, Sustainable living, Love.
@@_c_y_p_3 "When I was exposed to Crass" Exposed? I saw Crass live more times than I can remember and loads of other anarcho punk bands too and was mates with all the London ones. Yes we all believed in that counter culture thing but tbh all we did (and all your heroes did) was party and get off our tits doing drugs. That's the truth.
@@samyandkitty8399 Sorry to state the obvious but you'd hope any person with the knowledge and insight gained from 80 years of life experience would be more informed than someone with just 25 years. No disrespect to any 25 year old but there are 50 more years of advantage here.
@@JuliaTrechak Have watched this fantastic talk from Pen a few times but wondered if you had any more footage, however raw? Thanks so much for posting this up though. Such wise words from someone with a fascinating perspective on the world, its people and the power systems.
@@sesltd1107Yeah upload the whole of the recording! Or maybe not. Perhaps the way you have edited it is perfectly concise and succinct with its message and meaning. I have returned to your video for inspiration multiple times and shared with others. 10 minutes of pure wisdom. Each one teach one.
He talks the talk but also walked and still walks the walk, why has penny not been given a Nobel peace prize or whatever it’s called now? I bet he’d refuse it anyway. This is what Curt Cobain wished he was like.
The UK is too cold to walk away from the roof over your head...to turn your back on the fucked up society ,to not be complicit , is a massive challenge -I would not last a week this weather.....I wanna be in a small band of nomadic gatherer hunters but nobody is giving back my intact ecosystem any time soon...all other human grouping has been destructive to the planet and ourselves.
doubt it... he's not stupid is he? do you think he eats Mcplant burgers as well ? lol "I aint thick ..its just a trick ..." " fuck the politically minded...." I think if CRASS became a 'political party' NOW ...they might do quite well .." left wing ....right wing.... YOU CAN STUFF THE LOT !"
@@babybison I love the way you think Crass should become a "political party". That's well funny! You win today's prize for "Talking Out Of Your Arse." 🙄

"Penny for your thoughts" a very wise man with a great mind and love for humanity. Gee has an exceptional creative talent.

wise words once again from one of the loveliest and most inspiring human beings.

Going to a crass gig was pivotal in the journey to find who I am , however it took me another 37 years to find out who I really am .
And your journey is still going on! I believe we change all the time. As we keep our mind open and curiosity strong, the wisdom of life will finally reveal itself.

I want him to be my grandpa
I know it’s trival, but he’s looking bloody great !
He always did, he’s near 80 now yet is more informed than most 25 years olds

Good bloke that man.

Penny for your thoughts
No governments, no weapons, no possesion, ..Anarchy for the whole world!
How did you posses the means to leave this comment without a possession or the act of possession?
I don't tick the box.
this is great - in terms of the trump comments - bang on
Skimming the surface here M'Darling.

I bet u he werent paying
He reminds me of Roger Waters.
Don't sell him that unbelievably short by comparing him to that man

Russia was the great threat, but everybody forgot.
