Michael Hedges Interview 2

All talk with a well known interview host. Quality is poor, but it is the best I have on this. See http://www.nomadland.com/ for information on Hedges and a fund for his children.

to answer your question he liberates me from life the shit filled lives we all live. see i don't have it bad its watching people suffer from bullshit governments everything and thats why i used that word. any art form liberates me from my thoughts. saves me from my own mind thats what i mean by messiah. and if you weren't looking at the religious side of it i am sorry thats what i thought you meant by it

[irpacynot]

Cool. Never knew he did the Charlie Rose show. Great conversation.

[Marilynastro1]

And look at that part of all of us..that can so closely relate to his words. He also was most couragious

[killxthexsmile]

Wow. its crazy to hear him talk about how he wants to live on after hes gone, and he has done exactly that, im only a kid and i jam out to him every day. hes before my time. thats saying something big.

@kodiak4200

we sound like we're rowing the same boat my friend...

I also have daily anxieties from the negatives of this world,as hard as i try to deal,ignore,etc,i find myself overwhelmed...again.I can play the piano,and get decent sound out of most instruments,but the guitar has placed me in awe,and has consumed me,and is actually helping me find who the hell i was,a time when i felt good,etc.I think i'm on the right track again...

good luck to you,hope you do well...now go write!!! ;)

@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA same here been teaching myself for 6 years and it is the only thing that takes my mind off all the death and suffering i see i don't want to ignore it but some days i have to it is eating me alive but when i write a song it's like there is nothing but me and the sounds i make i love it

@kodiak4200

right on, and you have to answer to no one,i mean 'littleredbirdy', or anyone with his mentality.I just found Michael Hedges recently,that's how i came upon this video.Michael Hedges has affected me to such a degree in such a short time(i'm teaching myself guitar)i would call him god,budha,gumby or whatever the !@#$ i(we) want to call someone who has easily moved me(us) in a way only comparable to huge life experiences.

My son is a god to me,sad few people know what we mean...

What year is this ? Is that Letterman ?

[pickupgenius]

What year is this ?

[robcastellani]

early 80's -1997 until his death in a car crash.

[chaoticblue123]

That's what I thought he was saying at first as well regarding the religious thing because it's mostly close minded religious people who would nitpick like that on youtube of all places.
