Amazing people ❤
Don’t like her New Nose
🎉
I love this interview, got to meet Fabi Reyna and her mom at Newport Folk this summer and it was the highlight of my weekend!
Nate & Chris are underrated musicians
Wow… the brotherly love!!!
Does he get into his AIDS denialism?
I wonder what song was that thing they first played together... I bet it was El Jardín.
Happened across them on NPR, completely mesmerized me 🫠🫠🫠
Me encantan los hermanos Gutiérrez!!! Best music!!!
The most enjoyable and relaxing music- beautiful! I asked for their music during an MRI and I felt safe and relaxed ❤
I was Here.
Extra music, extra 👍
Hermanos Gutiérrez are an incredible band. Their interview are always so thoughtful and inspiring
❤❤❤
Amazing man
Screw the Foo Fighters....A bunch of Anti-American Left Wing Communist. MAGA!
She's the epitome of eloquence. Thanks for this interview.
Good to see another venture Nabil. I used to visit sonic boom quite a bit 😊
I once randomly walked up to a blackjack table with a group of people already playing. It was late and they seemed awake and at least socializing. So, we played Blackjack for like 6 or 8 hours. Somewhere during this time period of talking about random music, the blues, rock-n-roll, I realized this tall guy at the table looked so familiar (Pat Smear). Fast-forward a bit and I suddenly realize I've shared my small musical family background, my thoughts on alternative rock (what did I know) and essentially my life story with all these super nice people (Nate, Chris, Butch, Pat, Taylor ). For a 21 year old kid from Louisiana who never expected to get to meet people who made the music I love. Every single one of these guys were crazy nice to me. The whole evening felt like "The wizard of Oz-ish" to me, if that makes sense?. I had the opportunity to hangout more after everyone was finished with Blackjack but I'd embarrassed myself enough for one night. Anyway, the last thing I said to both Nate and Chris is something my Dad (Texas blues musician) used to say to me when I was kid " saying the night was over. " The Deepest Blues are Black."
So glad to see this here - this was an absolutely amazing interview. GREAT Podcast Brother!
aids denier, never apologized. shame on him
First comment🎉
💔
Deadbeat fathers... very typical and no one shames them. All we hear is how single mothers are evil. As a woman in her 20s... I am so unsurprised by all the movements around the world to not date / marry / have sex with men. Too risky.
That was very vague
aids denier. nonzero chance he helped lead to deaths by supporting the “alive & well” foundation
Thank you, Nabil! What a wonderful and heartfelt interview with the amazing Nate St. Mendel! Loved it loved it loved it!
Firstttt
17:52
Yesssss!! Love her drive
dziękuje za ten wywiad <3
Has anyone else noticed he's still talking about Taylor in present tense?
I caught that 😭
Yeah, it’s a hard thing to stop doing. It took me a good while to stop doing that when I lost my friend. It’s a hard habit to break and sometimes you really just don’t want to. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. By a certain age we’ve all unfortunately lost someone we cared about in that way.
dziękuje za wywiad, też pierwszy raz słyszałam żeby Nate tak dużo mówił
This is the first time I’ve heard Nate talk this much. I’m really glad this conversation happened. It’s so cool to get insights into the man who is a founding member of the Foos. Thank you for this.
Candid and illuminating intervierw. A must listen!
Love her, just LOVE HER ‼️❤️🩷❤️
I love when she shares her story ❤ It gives me the hope I need to be the strong artist I am now and then
Beautiful, smart, strong. Love you Dawn
Full video now ❤️
Love our DAWN ❤
I’m sharing this with the hearts love Dawn
Where is the full interview
O wowww. Today I seen a number on google for Roy Ayers to tell him thank you or at least send a message. Your dad let me on the stage with him after giving him a 15 second on-the-spot audition after waiting 10 hours for him. This brought a tear to my eye because felt kinda a way because I can't have kids and know what guys be missing when not in their kids life when they young. So glad you found your inner happiness. I'm really kinda shocked from this story. Because of your dad I had one of the best experiences in my life and got me a xylophone. Trying to put a neosoul-jazz band together. Really appreciate your diligence on your writing and will be ordering soon. Thanks
Amazing Nabil. All the best to you.
A wonderful book and interesting life so far!
Hey, Nabil! Long time no see…Great job!
