Very inspiring. Few things I disagree are the labeling of some music to "make people stupid". I'd call it "simple music", doesn't mean its bad or dumb. Also the "rock n roll died in 1972" thing. I get tired of older folks making it sound like all new commercial music is automatically crap. Finally, the "music comes from the top down", which is still mostly true, but internet and social media are opening lots of doors for music from the artists again, not just from industry.

@brunodmtl To clarify, I was talking about the lowest common denominators of pop music, which is NOT the same thing as SIMPLE music!!

Much of the best music in the world is SIMPLE. But Britney music is just stupid, and made ONLY for making money, not for advancing any art form particularly IMHO

As to the rock died comment, I agree that in ANY era, and in ANY genre, there will always be SOME good music. I was talking more about the way music is marketed. And I agree 100% about youtube +net

[BobBrozmanMusic]

For those people who don't understand why there is talking in this video: It is simple--it is an interview. He is answering questions being asked of him.

Plenty of music-only clips of Bob on youtube

"Nobody ever buys a book and says "what a great alphabet!""!!!!! Good quote. He seems to have a very lefty way to look at things and I do not agree with a lot of things that he says, especially when it comes to his "pre-rehearsed" speech about how modern music is the same. But he has a few interesting things to bring to the table. Insightful interview

[BobBrozmanMusic]

We can tell you it is not "pre-rehearsed" or even rehearsed....he is just used to tryng to express himself clearly.

Still, agree/disagree is a good thing... to stimulate discussion of any kind!

[namcram]

Whats the name of the instrument he plays around 19 min

[BobBrozmanMusic]

It's called a Chaturangui; it's a type of Hindustani slide guitar.

This has got to be one of the most valuable videos on youtube. Thanks for the lesson, can't wait to see you play.

this is the best video on youtube, bob is a true inspiration to musicians everywhere

[rico00042]

I was thinking about getting a brass body resonator and went looking for youtube vids showing BBR's...and found Bob..then forgot why I was watching...then went back a week later for more Bob. I've played AT making music all my adult life, and to hear someone else clearly and plainly justify my style of improvisational play is just awesome. Bob is truly a master, of stage, mind and music. I only wish I'd discovered him sooner in life. Bravo!

As Arthur Dent would say. Thank the almighty Bob!

[gkbhai]

This video is totally awesome! Thank you for the sharing.

[UnitedEffect]

Just wanted to thank you for this great synopsis on music. I first saw it a few years ago and fiind myself watching it again and again over the years...it really helps remind me of what's important about living life as a musician. Thanks again. God bless

[thombone]

His points are all DEAD ON!

[mariotalentmanager]

Quelle belle leçon, et philosophie de vie! Merci Bob! You're such a mentor for millions of us. Continue, please continue to educate us.

It's like your feelings are a language nobody else speaks and you're alone, mute and the only translator that you have is this. (the guitar) I saw Bob perform a few years back and I felt so alive and inspired after his show that it had a profound effect on my playing. Bob is in a league of his own when it comes to thinking and expressing his hard learned observations about music and people. He is one in a handful of musicians capable of full and honest expression.

[BIGSBYTREM]

If everyone picked up one of his albums we we could turn him into the Godzilla/King Kong needed to smash the PopTard music!

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Very inspiring... but when I listen to the Black Crowes I don't think Rock and roll died in 1972...

[Toracube]

I am ashamed to say I never heard of him. He's brilliant !!!! Thanks for introducing me to him.
