[lmcgee]

[morgansmithhh]

he is so amazing.

[locstradamus]

I personally think he looks like Nick Bruiser ala Super Punch Out, circa 1994, Geek snort..

[sarahboolala]

dying IS the exciting part. ps i love crater face, she is beautiful.

[BlackAtticus]

wow. i was there that night.

[dbutler03]

Amazing

[djdcow1]

I wish I was...



[pfernon]

beautiful

[UnconventionalAqua]

Beautiful <3 I have my breath taken away every single time I listen.

[caseyface3]

@UnconventionalAqua you must be an annoying douche in real life

[UnconventionalAqua]

@caseyface3 ? What makes you say that?

[livingfortheline]

does anyone else find it funny/ironic that everyone in the audience starts cheering when he says, "Yall, we're all going to die!" hahaha

[HummingbirdAllegory]

This poem means something new to me every time I listen.

[Zodwalken]

Survival is a lot more hard than living in the common sweep of humans.

[kellowjo]

wow! for some reason, today I have gotten right into spoken word performances. I have been watching clips all day and when I saw this for the first time I knew I found "the guy". This is the mother fucking guy right here.

[UnconventionalAqua]

@kellowjo :) Buddy was THE reason I got into spoken word. An amazing creative writing teacher played Information Man for our class and I knew too. Amazing <3

[RimboBobo]

Wish that crowd would fuck off.

[wecanhealthis]

@RimboBobo i didn't think they were bad actually, considering this is at a Sage Francis show and not a poetry night or anything...

[RimboBobo]

@wecanhealthis Fair enough I suppose.

[RAZZAONE1]

this guys a cokehead... good tho...

[wecanhealthis]

@RAZZAONE1 far from it, get to know the man a bit...

[joeydee20]

the only truth is love. buddy wakefield doesnt know whats up

[B0Ygenius]

How the fuck can you dislike this? This is absolutely brilliant.

[thequeenofneverwas]

@B0Ygenius some people don't understand beauty

it's sad, but it's the world

[omgilykatie8]

life after survival is so hard

[ThtOneGrl]

This is so fucking fantatsic. Chills every time.

[chrisp3E7]

Damn is he good or what?

[punk19]

im a big punk type guy, and i admit his stuff makes me bawl.. im not ashamed. this man is amazing

[LauraLoves2Laugh]

Yes, it's true, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, but my family tree was in an orchard on a hill that rolled me to the river and that river ripped me through the rapids and those rapids rushed me into this moment right here right now with you at the mouth.

[mfl728]

Buddy is as close as a poet can be to a God in his art.

[karaven23]

This is absolutely my favorite Buddy Wakefield poem. Just wow!

[OM3N1R]

I think my neighbour just heard me exclaim how beautiful this.

I mean literally I live in an apartment where they can peek over the balcony, haha.

[kizudarake]

Absolutely stunning piece!

[PenguinLogic]

God, this gives me chills. This should be every bit as well-known as The Information Man. Buddy for the win.
