Confessions of Robert Crumb - Clip 2 of 3

[rattinox]

Amen, Brother Crumb! My first ride on Green Pyramid was like giving a starship to a fighter jock. Pure Magic. But, alas, I also realized that this planet had to be some kind of funky penal colony. Or a Nuthouse. Jury is still out on that one.....

[Swatantra100]

Anybody got any acid?

[SnifflemeH]

We have all flushed away a piece of us due to the fear of society's perception. Time to start framing the flushed pieces and stick our nose up to society!

[airsoftdeltaforce101]

wait his wife wasnt fat or weird shes really pretty in those photos! what the hell is he talking about!

[deckard43]

Genius  such insight

[mohdfaizlamin]

I love this guy, I wonder why I didn't discover him sooner

[PoetryAddict8]

His reacting to LSD.... I got this 3 years ago, and it's still here. I never took LSD, but it's exactly the same..

[ch09h]

I find this so intriguing

[asienlatierra]

crumb or nostalgia for the rest of the world

To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler {in the mind} to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune; or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them. Life can be cruel and absurd. Man must Endure in his comming as in his going hence, Ripeness is all. the rain it raineth every day. Do what makes you happy, even if it's critical. Hey, you never know. Lisa Simpson has the same problem. Maladjusted wierdo too. being popular is not same as being happy

Crumb is amazing and beyond prolific. Some day he may really be recognized. He has fans, worldwide of course, and x-amount of notoriety, but he's the Picasso AND Rembrandt of America (plus a whole lot more, because of his writing) for nearly half a century - and I'm always amazed at how many people are unfamiliar with him.

[s0d00]

sleeping pills in the chicken soup....ohmygod this man's life...

[juanjosevaltierra]

because of this guy im a painter

[quantomintomentum]

Young Crumb reminds me of Steve Buscemi from In The Soup.

[YettiYogiBear]

Oh my god. Seriously, they ARE attractive people!

[justentime77]

Ever notice how everyone personally involved with Robert starts to talk like him?

[john0908c]

1987 looks like a scary era. A time when most of the people you bumped into on the street were probably high on LSD. especially in NYC. yikes.

[ioriorioriorio]

@john0908c not 1987...he's talkin about 1967!!....'87 was pretty damn str8...ronald reagan, the brat pack, Jane fonda's work - out....by the way L.S>D> is best thing for todays idiots.....it'd be better if people in ny were on acid right fuckin now!!

[creatornat]

Crumb, like so many of us, is damaged goods.

[neoprankster]

@creatornat How is he damaged goods?

[timrawbubble]

he sounds like fritz the cat are u sure he had nothing to do with it

[lordikhill]

7:21 - 8:18 COMIC GENIUS

[heavyboxes]

@lordikhill Oh man.

You are right about that. That's just brilliant.

[cegriffin]

I think Crumb's pretty good-looking in general but 19 year-old Crumb? What a handsome fellow!

[simonpenum]

How long is the entire documentary

[mrbitbot]

@simonpenum 55 minutes.

[NotYourFriendComics]

Hey! Love Robert crumb!!!

Thanks!

[arthurrro2u]

Hey. Anyone to tell me what is the song we hear at 3:56, please? Really great one!

[kolst8406]

@arthurrro2u It's "The Flower Children" by Marcia Strassman. She later became an actress and was Kotter's wife on "Welcome Back Kotter."

[jja210]

@arthurrro2u

Marcia Strassman - The Flower Children

[rgaleny]

@jja210 read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainance.

[hucklebeck]

wow! wow! wow! I knew I had some thing that intrigued me to this man. When I heard that first statement aoiut how he drew sexual characters and flushed them down the toilet my heart stopped because I used to do the same thing but when I was 13 and drew and drew and drew all day long. WOW! and I thought I was sick for doing that!

[YossarianTheMeerkat]

@hucklebeck I did that too! only once but I remember it being a wildly erotic experience!

[ferretyluv]

@hucklebeck No, no, no! That's how you develop your style! Draw all day long, whatever comes into your mind!

[dua72]

How can he get away with stuff Tiger Woods can't?!

[maldicientin]

Because not many people really look up to underground artists. Those that do don't expect them to be decent people. What's more, Crumb always admitted he's a sad fuhg.

[toxie95]

@dua72

Because Robert Crumb is a god... Tiger Woods is a golfer.

[brainman]

@dua72 Modern culture places unreasonable interest on the moral behavior of celebrities, especially athletes because they are meant to be role models. There is no such pretension placed upon underground comics artists. Your profession has nothing to do with your moral fiber, but our culture expects it to.

[Deradune]

He's GREAT...!

[spankbandit]
