Tom Smothers and Dick Smothers - Archive Interview (full)

[debrashawn]

I'm 44. I've known of the Smothers Brothers all of my life but never paid them much attention until I saw them in a small piece recently. I'm enjoying discovering them and in depth. This piece was awesome! Both are very captivating, gifted and beautiful people. I can't wait to find every piece I can with them. Thank you for making this piece available.

Wow, what an awesome interview. Regarding "standing up," as Tommy mentions at the end, he really did stand up and I think it was inspiring. He mentions that he would "run right to the press" about CBS's crap, and I like that. He was kind of a whistle-blower, which I often want to be in my own work, but feel so apologetic about my mere presence there (because it's structured that way, imho), that I wouldn't say poop if I had a mouthful. Smothers Brothers > Santa Claus!

I was born in 1963 but even I knew these guys were cool back then.

I love the SBs. He looks great for age and is funny as hell. It is such a damn shame that it seems a sound check failed as I can barely hear the interviewer. That is quite annoying. Ahh well.

I've always been a Smothers Brothers fan. I loved them since I heard one of their early albums when I was a kid. But when was this filmed? Tommy is now in his seventies, but he looks too young here.

From the description box (and stated at the beginning of the video):

"The interview was conducted by Karen Herman on October 14, 2000."
