he saved my live in 2003 i was in rehab in scotland and found an old videocassette 25 years billy or something like that, I start smiling and stopped using ..No kidding! thanks Big Yin, you gave a son his father back. A big smile from Holland
Billy offers some great insight here, as I suspect would anyone in his age and with his amount of differing experiences, but what is really unique about this interview is to see two people, who obviously love each other very much, be open and share with each other. Truly beautiful.
I Love Billy so much, he has become my hero and I wish to go to one of his shows. I've loved him since I was a child, I listened to cassette tapes like The Pick Of Billy Connolly and Classic Connolly and then saw videos etc. And I love his biographies, beautifully written by Pamela and so powerful and insightful. The Man is a genius and an Icon and I love him to bits. :)
I hope none of that sounded to gay, thats just how I feel. xD
Bigfinlach, just to pick up on your final sentence, - men shouldn't be made to feel in any way embarrassed or reticent about expressing our love & admiration of someone.
It's what prevents fathers from truly connecting with their children.
My great regret in life, is not telling my late mum & dad how eternally thankful I am for their love, guidance, & sacrifice, when it might have been important to them to hear it, instead of just to me to have said it. Don't leave those you love in doubt.
well, actually a Doctor of Letters (which he said were mostly Fs and Bs :D)... but yeh, honorary doctorate but i think he kinda earned it. he's actually a very learned man, and this doctorate has to have partly recognised that learning. a lot of honorary doctorates i find offensive; this one was a good choice.
BC once said he was a comedian, not a social anthropologist. i'm not sure there's much difference. both watch people; one writes a book and the other tells funny stories!
I worked at the Pavilion theatre when Billy worked the panto,he really is a down to earth Glasweegian,he just happens to be in a buisness that a lot of people just don't get,so for that he can sometimes get a hard time.
His comment about "centrists" reminds me of the American political writer Jim Hightower's book, which is titled in true Texas style: There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos.
I think speaking to a psychologist can be very refreshing!
Generally speaking to your partner in this fashion is difficult as the partner can get jelous of peak experiences or defensive but if people were giving enough to listen openly there wouldn't be so many problems in the world.
My time with my psychologist taught me alot about myself thanx to him been able to appreciate again
oh my friend if only you realised what your comment sparked off i ended up having a long discussion with my friend starting with the validiity of jealousy all the way to A.I i think you would have laughed if not enjoyed the discussion haha philosophy

Billy Connolly has been through some really shitty times and has not been beat down and he's not bitter. Billy Connolly is the man.

I'm very interested in(amongst other things) psychological profiling.
and Billy(to put it simply)seems like a chap with an attitude and general outlook that is well worth modeling!
Apart from obviously being a very funny man he also seems to have an honesty which is truly endearing!
Thanks for the wisdom Billy !!!
