Henry Miller

[smileyfacemug]

Love this guy, joy to listen to.

[merkinsniffer]

awesome beard

[Psychedelic925]

Who is this guy?

[HigherPlanes]

The propensity for borrowed jargon is always a mark of limited ability in the technique of discursive thought. Oh, I'm just messing with ya sonny boy. Your little rant actually gave me a grammatical erection.

[Jkfilms7]

An exhilarating array of words. Miller had that mastery, so does your pal.

[Sixinchcrimes]

And I dreamt I was Dannyboy, some blind kid's seeing-eye-dog and I saw ole' Ben Franklin out flying a kite amidst war time revolutions in a new dream bought America being born. Then I dreamt I saw ole' Jesus getting nailed up on the cross of our unremembered salvation and I couldn't tell if I was that GOOD OLE' BOY, that Christian Jew named Jesus, a weeping man's future sense and whims

[Sixinchcrimes]

or I if I was the power crazy Roman general, mad with desire and destiny and delirious excess. Nailing crosses, whipping chains...I tasted blood, chachi. And then I thought of Genius, and all that could be, and I couldn't help but be reminded of ole' Henry Miller, old Henry the dancer, dancing sorta silly like to the unheard groove of Bob Dylan still yet to be sung. And in those lean years - Paris, before the flood - Henry, you must have eaten chicken.

[Sixinchcrimes]

And as a genius, a genius eating that charbroiled black chicken meat WHITE! You must have tasted SOMETHING, something that reminded you of some chicken-shit farmer from North Carolina's WIFE...some wiff of her perfume perhaps, or a flash of red from the flowers she wore behind her ear during their courtship, and all the wild times prior."

[ex1le444]

Wow, holy hell. What a rant, this guy a writer?

[chechy59]

FOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[bluevalentine9]

I come back to this video every so often. Been watching it since its been up. Makes me smile.

[AhYaOk]

seems i've heard this before. maybe not

[theblackparade1039]

I LOVE THIS GUY please let's get more of him on YouTube.

[TheWackymac]

it's totally nuts. i call that art. tell him i'd pay him 10 bucks to do one more...

[HenryChinaski405]

I dont know how much of this isnt from a script of a play or what, but its great. Im sure that it wasnt "stream of consciousness" rambling...but its great.

Its pretty good.

Anything else from this kid?

[velcrosweet]

At the beginning of the clip he's quoting either Brando or Jack Nicholson, I can't remember. But, when I ask him about Henry Miller, he's quoting some of his own writing. I'm sure he's just got stacks of pages, not plays or movies or books, nothing formed, just ideas and ramblings. But, he had no idea I was going to ask him this, and I had no idea he was going to spout out all that stuff. Completely unrehearsed.

[vladutze84]

@velcrosweet this is sweet, man. post more of him, make him upload his stuff somewhere, it;s a shame to just lie in a forgotten drawer

[PATYPUS3]

Its about time I witnessed a littled coke fueled frenzy-beauty on the Youtube. Kudos to you and your beatnik stooge. And I mean stooge in the upmost, non litteral manor, sir.

[D1G17ALTR1PP3R]

And only the literary literate amongst us see with crystal clarity in the stream of consciousness, spewed forth and frozen in digitized form that which we call waxing poetic, others call daffy on drugs....

[Asimov23581321]

He is definitely not quoting henry miller, first of all he talks about himself, second of all he talks about henry miller in the third person, third of all none of the quotes turn up even a whisper on google.

[gregbythesea]

He's speaking in the "style" of Henry miller in a very original way. The guy's pretty charasmatic!

[gregbythesea]

... in a pompous ass sort of way

[Asimov23581321]

Indeed, and I can safely say that it is the most impressive henry miller related monologue I've ever heard on youtube.

[snuffyigngp]

you gotta round man!

[switchexcess]

I was meant to be the sort of individual that. . .{is} born on the 25th day of December . . . and so was Jesus Christ. . . But due to the fact that my mother had a clutching womb, that she held me in her grip like an octopus, I came out under another configuration. . . " Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

now ,i really know how Henry became the dancer, dancing sorta silly like............... thanks josh, or phoenix? for your spin, or "star weave" , it's just the sorta "truth" H would like!

[beardedscot]

yeh ok mate.

take it easy on the drugs, eh?

[enven]

Dude is on the ball.

[redhotjcc]

that's my boy Josh!

[giantjohnfrusciante]

who the hell is this guy and can i buy him a drink?

how... sir did you manage to do this? i must know!

[bodhisao77]

@spaceorbison

man, i have read henry miller a lot, and i have never read these words (well at least not in this arrangement). could you tell us where he is quoting miller from?

[livejustice]

Those were some fine werds, and if not your werds, terribly fine suspenders.

[platoon018]

"from the flower she wore behind her ear during their courtship"

[spaceorbison]

He was just quoting Henry Miller.

[genopal1020]

was it Miller? Even if it was, he had flare for expressing it.

[platoon018]

Is he actually quoting Miller word by word or rather improvising in the style of Miller?

[spaceorbison]

word for word at the beginning then his own when he talks about him as a chicken eating genius. Guy does have an actors charisma though.

[platoon018]

"Dancing sorta silly like to the unherd groove of Bob Dylan still yet to be sung"

"And in those lean years..Paris before the flood..."

Good stuff lol!

[vladutze84]

from where is he quoting miller?

[jpsartreny]

why is this guy not on off-off-off Broadway ?

[VonSeux]

my god, that guy's a genius!

can someone write down his words?

[tomMIKOS]

this was surprisingly good.

[platoon018]

is that a Marlon Brando imperssonation in the first few seconds??

[platoon018]

your buddy Josh has actor potential written all over him

[xc9643]

Well. That caught me off guard!..

[disclord]

Crazy man is hot!

[zero0throughnine9]

Yes.

[sergio01852]

guy is a fucking riot. not bad for a good old boy; "old henry the dancer, dancing sort of silly like to the unheard groove of bob dylan that is yet to be sung....". makes me want a drink.

[bygten88]

This is that guy you thought was deep when you were F*cked up, only to awaken and creep quitely outta his stinky bed. Ghastly.

[hyperrreal]

hell of a character.

[honeymaru68]

wow,

i have a crush...

[gregbythesea]

Does this guy write?

[kiroyale]

Corn fed, southern farm boy literary philosophizing.

[signoguns]

That guy is fuckin great lol. i would love to have a drink with him

[etsaren]

That was great

[lounwhat]

this guy is a moron, wanna be

[jamesowen237]

A "wanna-be" who? What are you talking about?

[lounwhat]

this guy is a moron

[Alfrunk]

well, we certainly don't need to worry about this turd being anyone influential. our own lost generation.

[jamesowen237]

If ONLY this dude wrote.

[samhellion]

Josh, that was sick!

I want that.

[wwn1970]

Josh - Dito.

[crosturtle]

this guy is bad ass!

[skinnygetout]

that was incredible.

[howeuth]

yes

[Bandita654]

Flippin' Irish genius!!! Where can you still smoke in a bar?

[jamesowen237]

More Josh!!

[darthpeikoff]

yeah, I get that way after I do a bump too.

[OscarLimaMike]

ha ha

[MrDulouz29]

go brother go brother go

[blisslife]

yep.. that's heny's flow. he has down to a science. indeed a lot of writers have tried that flow in writing but it never comes out right. henry miller maybe the most honest writer that I've come across.

[jamesowen237]

impressive as hell.

[trubblebutt]

agreed.

[dkmemory]

I think I have a crush on your friend.
