New York 80 so is touching. As a matter of fact it has not changed. "I'm an alien I'm a legal alien", "Be yourself no matter what they say" and jazz tune perfect
Try think, try be free in your life, after death is nothing, but the life is not only pleasure, try see more in the life, more beautiful thing except material needs, financial. I know, it is hard, we shouldn't live in the wood because we are rebelians, we should live in this system and destroy system from inside. Why? If you are not idle, empty human you should fight, some humans can think very well, but often they are above society.
I wish I knew more of Quentin while he was alive rather than now 10 years after his death. I would do anything to go back in time and write him a letter telling him how much I admire him. R.I.P
Love the last pics of Quentin Crisp. Saw him once on the subway in E. Harlem in the 1970s. I didn't know who he was back then & wondered what a guy dressed as he did, was doing walking around Spanish Harlem.
That upright growl, makes this song so devastiatingly worth listening to!
Stig may not be considered to be the greatest bassist to ever play, but he is where he needs to be in his songs, and that counts for a damn sight more, than some of our so-called virtuosos of todays crowd!
I'd like to see this group of musicians play again!
R.I.P. Kenny Kirkland! Your passing has not been in vain, we remember you, and your gift!
He is Quentin Crisp, a man who had to face very hard times because of his homosexuality and no matter how badly he was treated throughout his childhood and adult life, he always smiled back. He is a legend and two films were made about his life: The naked civil servant ( with John Hurt who did "the elephant man"etc.) and "an englishman in New York (2009)" cheers
Branford Marsallis rules!! the best soprano sax player in jazz beautiful melodys with the extraordinary voice of Sting one of the best song ever written, the perfect marriage of jazz and pop music!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah, guess the lad must be a fag himself. never came out of puberty.
atleast even my generation ( well atleast me) likes his music! by the way, you know 52 is realy normal age to die by a brain anythingy so good luck for blanco
Okey, so people, here are we. Or, more correct, here am I! I have now made a new film! It's called "Watch NBC, don't write stories". It is a rather stupid short-film with absolutally no intelligence. However, if you watch it you will most likely find it kind of funny, seeing as a 16 year old boy (15 at the time) made a movie with nice editing! I am Princesascha, saying "watch NBC, don't write stories"
Don't you just hate people advertising for their own video? I sure do!
A gentleman will walk but never run... Sting kicks ass with just his words. The so called leaders of the world could be heros of the day if they could live up to using commen sense instead of combat gear and a gun.
"If I have an ambition other than a desire to be a chronic invalid, it would be to meet everybody in the world before I die... and I'm not doing badly."
If I have an ambition other than a desire to be a chronic invalid, it would be to meet everybody in the world before I die... and I'm not doing badly.
I feel different, I feel unique in the world... nobody is like me... but not just because everyone is different to another... because the kind of life I choosed... is different to all my friend's ones
This song makes me proud of being different day by day
