Interview: Francis Dunnery (Tall Blonde Helicopter 2008 DVD promo)

[peterthomson13]

Sad that hes playing in peoples living rooms, drop the new age bollocks Francis.

[GalacticCowboy]

@peterthomson13 How is that sad? He's doing what he wants to do, and is happy doing so, it's you that's taking it badly. Go annoy someone else.

[Thesuziebear]

He was a much better shag than he is a musician.X

[sidehillmusic]

inspirational



[celtno1]

Lovin the Celtic top Frank!!! C'mon the Hoops.

[canvoodoo]

shite frank stop it

[gazbert88]

What a waste, as long as he's happy what he's doing.

[ribsert]

He thought it obscure, by his reaction, when he asked for requests years ago at the Tin Angel, and I hollered this one out, pretty loudly :)

( he did it, it impressed my my daughter, I was ecstatic!)

Glad this tune lives! Excellent.

[gobowenlad]

Fearless tour announced, check the site for details.

[ImNoHypocrite]

My music is inspired by this sort of music. Check out my channel, you might like it! :)

[knobolder]

2 parts philosopher then

[bassthing26]

You changed my world. Frankly, thanks, Frank x

[haynesy89]

To TheGocubsgo77, if you want him to play over in chicago you can actually book him to play at your house through his website, thats what he does now, he actually spends alot of time over in new york studying for a Doctorate in PSYCHOLOGY I THINK, he never mentioned anything about religion but i no he has a degree in astrology and he studied astrophysics for a while aswell

[gringochucha]

@haynesy89 It's possible to have a degree in astrology?

[MrStuClark]

I believe i can change my world....

fantastic message in this video....

I did change my world and this backs it up.

Francis you're an inspiration !!

[mcbeer6]

This guys a fucking genius!

[alanisbad]

When is this DVD coming out???

It's 2010. Come on guys

[clapidastra]

This is inspirational music,and inspirational video and an inspirational message yet very entertaining.I didn't get any religious message from this and don't think I was supposed to,But I was inspired !

[Coneman3]

Funny how religion makes people into boring nonentities and religious music is dull, dull, dull.

[BarriosGroupie]

what religion did he get into?

[Coneman3]

Not sure but I'm sure I saw an item on a website claiming he had. I may be wrong. He is into Astrology though (which I also have an interest in, unlike religion).

[snazzit1]

He is NOT into religious music. He is more spiritual now, with a lot of self reflection, astrology and the whole inner ego thing. While I too, perfer his older music, Dunnery is NOT religious music. And if you think religious music IS boring, check out Neal Morse's stuff. While I am NOT a fan of religious music, it is NOT boring

[TheGocubsgo77]

I fucking love francis dunnery's music! I wish he'd come to chicago

[jimmyclerk]

I love that song "Immaculate". We covered it once but I don't think my band understood why I wanted to do it so much.

[1guitarstig]

I love Frank, but I have to say he's become a chord basher. To go to this from what he was is a little sad for me to see. He's so much more than that. Not saying 3 chord tricks aint a good thing. Come on Frank, pick your old squier strat up, and give it some!!!

[sethwaldo]

Tit.

[WaIterEgo]

I have been to two of Francis' house concerts and enjoyed them thoroughly, the evangelical part is not my cup of tea, and some of his philosophy is flawed (if you think you have no problems, you will have no problems) but as a shared experience they are wonderfully entertaining and enjoyable, Frank IS two people (at least) but it's worth getting to know both ♫

[siriusisastar]

Was a huge fan from "Fearless" through to "Let's Go Do What Happens"... the religiosity has really put me off... but I still love the concepts prior to... Francis -- come back!!

[BarriosGroupie]

God, he's aged so much

[gobowenlad]

Francis Dunnery tickets are now on sale for The New Progressives UK 2009 tour.

Check out his site for details.

[kissmybuttdimple]

love ya francis... love ya.

[SoloPizza7]

I think the words you mean to use are genius and incredibly talented.

[1LBRTY]

Tall Blonde Helicopter is one of my favorite CDs. I pulled it out of a used CD bin, and I didn't know anything about him. What a surprise!

[peterthomson13]

Fuck me thats sad, thought he was going to start preaching - 'send me your money, hallelujah'.

[teamcuba2000]

I have fond memories of Frank & "The Band"... now sometimes he scares me, but i still see the creative animal in him... i am not in a position to judge him, so for now, I still maintain he is a genius...

[visog]

Christ - quick think of some excuses if you'r invited to a house concert with Frank. Grim. Still the Americans seem to like it.

[itbites]

Francis you have changed many people's worlds! Like richiejovie I've been to many house concerts and was fortunate enough to host Francis at my house last year. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I'm still buzzing from it now.The man is a genius and the most warm,compassionate brilliant person you will ever meet. I can't wait for the DVD. Francis, you've changed my World.

[tylacurse]

Francis ... you don't change my world ... but you are a constant backdrop to it !!! x

[richiejovie]

Having attended a number of these in the UK can I just say

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!­!!!!!!!

[kitnewman]

i absolutely love this guy what a hero !!!

[johnnythelowery]

I was a house host and it was incredible. I'm thinking of convening all my house guests and having a special showing party of his new DVD

and charging everyone $5.00. and sending the big guy the check. I'm grateful for his...vunerability. The risks he's taken for singing what he does and being honest to his heart...i'm just very grateful..because he's been honest to my heart!

[kafkaheadache]

This is going to be a sweet product! I can't wait to have it in me hot little hands..
