i love the way he talks, he really know what music is about and what life is about and stuff. i wish i ever got to talk to him, i would have sooo many questions.
He has a very painterly way of speaking... I like it but, all good things in moderation. I get what he's saying about his visual artwork and musical artwork and where they meet.
What makes devendra banhart such a great artist is the way he is so humble when he talks about his work in comparison to other musicians and the way he is so passionate about music in general. You can't dislike him!!
@trussellization Wrong. What an unbearable douche this puke is-he just oozes back rub tactics and STD's-history will mock him and his fans properly.
I've still not taken Acid but im due to this weekend or next. i mean like i've been smoking weed for four years now and im 16. and i've had some pretty good highs. And my view on life has changed so much over the years. And i understand shit more. But like i still want to what hes talking about. By pretty much saying you understand life by taking Acid. So we'll see.
@ben23speed How was the acid? Judging by the response from the Stephen guy, I'd rather hang out with you than someone like him! You're 16, you DON'T need to think about any life choices just yet! You're doing fine it seems, you can cruise along for a while, you're young. Enjoy yourself, nothing WRONG with drugs, they're there to be experienced just be careful and don't overdo it. Acid certainly changed my outlook on life, though it was about my 3rd or 4th time when it happened... =O)
@ben23speed Also, to get that 'mind-wide-open-to-the-world' type trip, you NEED a saturation dose. A trip like that will last between 6 and 12+hrs... do yourself a favour and read some books, medical books, psychedelic drugs info books, anthropology books, and throw some sci-fi and even poetry in there too. Stephen is so way off the mark with his quote it just shows he could never relate to real life, sounds like he's in a bubble of his own. So yeah, enjoy yerself bud! Have a good one! =OD
its funny how after this interview, and he said Nino Rojo was his last record, that the music completely changed. im not saying that it was for the worst; just different.
@mattokc, hahahaha, brilliant. however he comes off, he is surely a free spirit. give him that. decent music, good life introspective, too much acid to do a regular interview. know what i mean?
im glad he hasn't gotten extremely famous yet because then there would be more of these dumbasses calling him a hippie and saying how bad acid is. we are a family except for these doushbags
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think this dudes trying too hard to be a hippie... I think he needs to cut the bullshit and actually say what's on his mind. Not dropping so much acid might help too...
@MrBluesun1 lol his parents followed a hindu teacher and named him after the hindu god of rainm and thunder, his middle name is obi after obi wan kenobi. he doesnt need to TRY to be a hippie

i'm german and i hardly understand what he's talking about, but i like him he's kinda cool :) and he wears pretty much the same ... um ... thing around his neck (necklace??) that I wore, but I did mine myself ... =]
i dont know anyone like him in germany... they seem all so BORING over here!
okay futurefields you obviously have no idea who he is, thats definately not how he is. He actually quit making music, so if he was all about image image image I doubt he'd do that. Anyways, he's an amazing singer/songwriter regaurdless.
