Donahue (part 3 of 5) - River Phoenix, Lisa Bonet, Raul Julia, John Robbins

[FuckedBySanity]

7:12 my favorite

[VibrationsRaw]

I love the comradery with these celebrities. I feel this is what celebrities should evolve into. Lisa, has and continues to inspire through her lifestyle. River and Raul knew their purpose in life. Although they left the planet the way they did, i still find this show valid.

[msclavel1]

Christ, Donahue was such a dick. No wonder Oprah dethroned him.

[nujac321]

7:30 RIver Phoenix warning against "shooting up." Am I the only one seeing the irony?

[evileyez504]

lisa is such a hippie

[kf932009]

Dairy and eggs are good for you and they don't harm the animals

[mychemman915]

@kf932009 some farms do its best to go for the organic eggs and organic milk

[Capgungoesbang]

People in this century feel SO entitled to things that they just don't deserve/need and it's all from conditioning of coporations. Fast food chains for example, if they all shut down it wouldn't stop the world. It would do nothing but help. It wouldn't put people out of jobs either, instead of people being miserable working in a tiny chain restaurant that serves unhealthy food, instead they would be working some place outside in a healthy environment producing healthy food for the better of man.

[crazy4corbinbleux]

Sorry but I don't get how he's saying all of these little things are harmful for your body, when he's taking intoxicating drugs?? How do you explain that then?

[Ki7689]

@crazy4corbinbleux I dont think u can compare drug addiction which is a medical problem to deciding not to eat meat or get a vaccination he has the right idea they all do but ppl also have their demons to battle on a day to day basis.

[crazy4corbinbleux]

Who is this River guy?? He seems so... interesting..

[gr00vychick]

@crazy4corbinbleux River was an amazing man...who died to young after battling his own demons. his brothers and sisters are still involved in the environment. his brother is Joaquin phoenix

....birth name was leaf.

[mychemman915]

@gr00vychick Joaquin's birth name was in fact Joaquin he changed it when he was 4 when he realized all of his brothers and sisters had more earthly names but then changed it back to his BIRTH name Joaquin

[94CHL]

River, was a sane man in an insane world..thats probably why he turned too drugs, instead of looking at what he didn't do, look at what he did do! Although i eat meat, he after, nearly 18 years of his death, is really making me consider turning vegan, or vegatarian atleast, coz im not gonna lie, i do love a good glass of milk!

[LyricallySanee]

River showed me the harsh but true insight into the meat eating industry and I thank him for this as I am now a proud Vegan. Duck used to be my fav meal, now I really know what animals go through I don't even miss it and wouldn't dream of eating it if someome was to pay me.

Thanks River and may you rest peacefully <33

[PhillyLucky7]

It's weird. Raul Julia is dead from a infection. River overdosed in the front of the Viper Room.

John Robbins you looks great here but 20 years later he really aged.

Lisa Bonet still you looks hot.

[zigfried64]

I don't think the woman caller is talking about the way Phoenix is dressed; he is obviously wasted. The fact that 3 years later he was dead from a drug overdose proves that the female caller was seeing that which Donahue and his guests were turning a blind eye to. Phoenix is an absolute MESS here, and Bonet just comes across as ignorant --but those circles under her eyes make her look like death warmed over.

[onehotminutex]

@zigfried64 I don't think he's obviously wasted. Just because we know that he was to die from an overdose now, it doesn't mean he was constantly wasted throughout his life.

[zigfried64]

@onehotminutex Uhhhh, did you WATCH the video??? Phoenix can barely complete a sentence; he mumbles incoherently, he rambles, he is constantly rubbing his eyes. HE'S WASTED!!

[annie8377]

i love when river's like, "we just get up in the morning and put on what's clean." haha that's sooo true. i love how opinionated he is, i wish everyone could be like that. he died too soon, he could have made such a huge difference in the world.

[ohsuckitup2]

@annie8377

I know, I love when I can relate to what he says..

I agree, but he made a big difference in my world, as well as many others..so I'm happy with that =)

[ChocolateTasteGo0d]

@sylicone221 HEHEHEHEHEHE shut the fuck up. You've said that in almost every video with River in it. No one cares about your insignificant opinion. HEHEHEHEHE

[WCWite]

Too bad we don't have a Donahue today, he was the best.

[pookiewook]

donahue is such an ignorant bastard. i'm not one to preach vegetarianism, but since i dropped meat from my diet three years ago i get sick maybe once a year as opposed to being sick 4 or 5 times a year beforehand. it's made me so much healthier, and i spend far less now than my parents spent on me when i was a meat eater.

[pookiewook]

lol, that woman was such a bitch. she sounds exactly like my grandmother and aunt who tell me i should be wearing suits...i'm nineteen, not happening.

[cezzie901]

Don't shoot me because I love River, I'm a big fan of his, but god, the irony that he's sticking up for Lisa in being anti-vaccination and anti-synthetic, man-made substances in your body is too great.

[ihearttheplanet]

@cezzie901 i feel the same way

[BlackVoicesOnFilm]

"The more animal fat we eat the more prone we are to breast cancer."

The Massai and Inuit eat lots of animal fat & they don't get breast cancer.

It always amazes me that some people can eat a lot of beans. Beans make me fart for hours. Good luck with eating all those beans John!

I'm sure Robbins is sitting on bank, but I think Robbins should have stuck with Baskin Robbins. It was a good cash flow. Kids are always going to want ice cream. Just don't inject crap into the cows.

[elizabeth1977]

i grew up veggi but then started to eat meat, never had vaccinations tho parents didnt believe in it and like to recycle also rIp river

[Gucciixx]

what a real eye opener! seriously haha river "take your bra back to your granmother!"

[DareDarlington]

Wow, I have to say this show was WAY ahead of its time! River and Lisa come off so well.

[litalearthquakes]

I don't mean to be rude to River, honestly, but if he was so concerned with natural living, why put synthetic, illegal drugs into his system?

[PinkBebe123]

he will tell you because "thats no the same"

[ofbestfit]

, why do we have people like desconocidos who have nothing better to do than troll videos because they have no artistic merits to offer , like heath and Elliott Smith River was the best and no one will be better than him. and as for sylicone didn't you have an old account and got deleted because of your comments on the dj am/river phoenix videos, you are a sad excuse for a human .

[xXLazarus23Xx]

Thanks for posting! I loved to hear what River believed in, just everything he said has been amazingly helpful to so many people. He was a rare person to have in this world. I wish everyday he was still here.

[ElizaMogha]

Great great great conversation

Thanks for posting

[Ovelestles]

I'm from Russia and will always be my idol River Phoenix ...

R.I.P

[ohhrichie]

i love river <3

[abetterlifecog]

she's a bit weird

[mysticism9]

this is great....thank you!!!

[riverjp]

I became a veggi at age 9 because of Paul and Linda McCartney. But it was beacuse of River I became Vegan,animal activist and the enviromintalist I'am today! Ilove and miss you Rio:) RIP and Thank you for everything!

[Pevalwen]

@riverjp Indeed. I've always been vegetarian, but having recently looked into River's values, I've come to realise that there's more I can be doing, so I've been rapidly changing a lot of what I do/use- he's made me realise that there's so much more to be done than just 'not eating meat'. River's been dead all my life, but researching him, he's been such an influence on me and I really value him as someone I look up to.

Not that he's the only one making good points in this programme :)

[ashcali22]

Who was River and how did he die?

[pcquest12]

@ashcali22 He was an absolutely fantastic actor, as talented as Johnny Depp if not more so. He was even nominated for an Academy Award at the age of 18. He made a lot of movies, Stand By Me being one of his most famous. Unfortunately River overdosed and died outside a night club in 1993. Had he lived he would have become one of the most influential actors in history. All the critics raved about his talent-he was truly amazing. You should watch some of his movies. He was THE star of my generation

[ashcali22]

@pcquest12 Oh. Well thank you for taking the time to tell me who he was.

[melodypaige2009]

@pcquest12

i may only be 14 but i agree with you 100% he was an amazing acter and its sad he didnt have a long enough life to show people more of what he could do.

[pcquest12]

@melodypaige2009 I think it is awesome that you are only 14 and you have noticed River! I am from River's generation (I'm 37) and it worried me that River's memory would die with our generation. I'm so glad the next generation is noticing him and his amazing talent. And you are right-SO sad he didn't live longer. What a tragedy.

[melodypaige2009]

@pcquest12 most of my friends never even heard so now im making them all watch his movies and stuff so now me and my best friend are complete experts lol even tho we were never born when he was alive... the only movie i havnt seen is little nikita is it good?

[pcquest12]

@melodypaige2009 I'm glad you are sharing his movies with your friends! Little Nikita is really good! One of my favorites. You can buy it pretty cheap on Amazon.com or ebay.

[riverjp]

@melodypaige2009

It is really good! Some of his best work!

[stardel6]

@pcquest12 I think if he was still with us he would have been even more known and what you said would have touched him he was a great person too

[pcquest12]

@stardel6 I agree with you-he was a wonderful person. He had so much love for everyone in his heart.

[WCWite]

@ashcali22 Please die.

[ashcali22]

@WCWite Bitch kill ya self.

[PinkBebe123]

did ted turner make you an environmentalist as well?

[riverjp]

@PinkBebe123

? Your point?

[stardel6]

@riverjp I am vegan too but always have been .. My bff is Raw that was a little to hard for me..

[Devilman6066]

@riverjp YOU'RE A WEIRDO

[riverjp]

@Devilman6066

What a shame I don't give a shit that you think i'm a "weirdo"! Love to you....ass:)

[Phelonetv]

@riverjp

Your comment is absolutely beautiful. =)

[Qa7l]

Lisa is so gorgeous!!! This is the first interview Ive seen with her. Its sad that ppl were so rude and underestimated her during the 90s. She was very "before her time".

[divdona]

I agree with what you said,

christellelovesRiver

I was a vegetarian for 31/2 years but am now a vegan because River is so inspiring :-)

[christellelovesRiver]

River was great.

He have open my eyes on the environment and on the crueltly on the animals.

I m very proud to be become vegan like River.

I will always to be grateful to River and I will always love him and honor him and defend him.

I love River Phoenix forever.

[PhoenixEternal]

Lisa Bonet is just great, totally right on.

[kalie3331]

Wow if you look ahead to now these kids were right on! Vaccinies have been linked to Autisum not only that we now can drive the echo cars, the world has really changed alot from then to now

[elliekate39]

0:56 when River leaner over to talk to Lisa I bet he was saying what a stupid coman commenting on or clothes!

[comic93]

LMAO "McDonald's cares about you!".

[gina888warhol1]

[gina888warhol1]

[RiverJudePhoenix93]

River, you are an angel!!!

[kittyc3]

Thank you for posting this video!!!!!!!! I have seen it before but it had really bad sound. I admire all the guests on the show but I know lisa and river more because I grew up watching some of their work.

[RJP7093]

john robbins... what an inspiration!

[RiosMyAngel7093]

OMG...that girl that's right at the beginning of this part, the one in the audience with the silver hoop earrings, she looks exactly like my best friend! That kinda freaked me out.
