The American dream is a story adult came up with to teach and inspire their kids. It's just that the adults started to believe it more than the kids did.
Rich's BBC programmes are really great. Check out Reginald D Hunter too. About Southern music... ua-cam.com/video/RWkMmPV75No/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Mango62uk
A friend of mine met him at a party once and they were both bored so got their host’s chess set down and played all night. My pal was quite the competitive player and said that Hall was remarkably good. Evidently a very clever man.
Thus guy is one of the most clever comedians and I've been seeing him since I was a kind. This was very well done. I would love to work with him. Id be living in a dream. I wish he was more out there and people gave him more credit.
.When i was in my twenties i worked and lived in the U.S for a while. Low taxes, friendly people. ..Then i asked 'So..? How many paid vacation days i have this year ? '..They looked at me as if i was some kind of mental case ! ..🤣
My ex-Shift Manager worked in the U.S. for a few years. She took a couple of days' sick leave because she was sick and didn't want to drive while sick or spread it amongst her colleagues. At her yearly review, she was marked down for attendance because she'd taken those few days off. There's a UA-cam channel "Oui in France". A woman moved from the U.S. to France. I was somewhat surprised when she said that in France (as in the UK, Australia, etc.) taking a three week holiday wasn't a sackable offence. Here in Australia, as a permanent employee after 12 months you're entitled to 4 weeks' paid annual leave.

This is how I like to learn American History. Grade 10 class i found ingenious ways to skip out and get stoned instead of going to American History class, but this makes it interesting. thanks much, Rich Hall!!
The best yet of the utterly brilliant historical-social-political analysis documentaries presented by Rich Hall. Here it is in plain language without the bullshit - this is America.
Rich, I wholly understand living in the UK for your comedy, but thanks for being a treasure here for documentaries and hope to see you in a Montana restaurant.
Comedy often turns the commonplace upside down for comic effect. Looking at any situation from a new angle is a great way to spot something that you couldn’t see before. Comedians also have an advantage over politicians or scientists or philosophers because they are free to say anything they like.
@Mickey Finn I didn’t mean that. I meant that comedians don’t have to logically make sense which allows them to say anything they want to. Scientists and philosophers always have to make sense, in their professional work anyway.
@Mickey Finn I am sorry that my original comment was written in such a way that it was possible to derive more than one meaning. I will probably regret that for the rest of my life. Probably.
Excellent! This is on par with Reginald D. Hunter's in depth BBC tour of the American Old South. Leave it to the BBC to present America with, a crystal clear look at it's most realistic, warts and all. Thank you, from America.
If or when we ever get back to any modicum of normality. Get to one of his gigs. His mixture of comedy and music will you in raptures of laughter. Rich' is in a league of his own.
I'm unconvinced that "love the thing you do" is as rewarding as loving the people who use and appreciate the things you do. In the case of the Martin luthiers, they are making instruments for people who will make (hopefully) music and (ideally) beautiful music.
I think only two likes to your comment proves that as a society we have definately lost our way. Productive work is a necessity to drive society and those who produce work that helps others achieve their idea of happiness is the best work. Very few ever find it however, and I believe that the rapid pace of our lives due to the worship of technology for its own sakes has erased even the remembrance of the existence of such a concept. We are all cogs in a giant, and for the most part, unseen corporate wheel that continues to present us with increasingly smaller carrots to chase. Eventually we will cease to chase them and when we do the results will not be pretty.
We have been enjoying his comedy in the UK for decades. Think he’s married to an English lass and he’s been a regular on radio & TV, particularly panel shows like QI. Owns a property in Montana (?) where they go for peace and quiet.
Who is it that dislikes videos like this? Are there idiots who do nothing but go round UA-cam to dislike anything's that is informative, completely inoffensive and entertaining? Oh I give up. No I don't, and don't you either, Rich.
@Mickey Finn Realism is used in art. You used realism when the philosophical term your looking for is materialism. I referenced idealism to make my use of materialism more clear. It seems pedantic, but it's an important clarification so don't take it personally.
It is remarkable how Jamestown in Virginia has disappered down the American memory hole. The Jamestown settlement 1607 in the Colony of Virginia was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. Also forgotten is that between 1718 and 1775 over 52,000 convicts were transported from the British Isles to America, mainly to Maryland and Virginia, to become indentured servants for the highest bidder. But walk around downtown Hampton Virginia or the hillbilly mountains if you want to see the remanant of the genes of the poor, criminal classes of Britain. The Mayflower story is much more appealing, apparently.
One of my favourite funnymen, ever since he let me play his guitar, at a stand-up show, at The Assembly Rooms, Derby, a few years ago!! We played Bad Moon Rising, by CCR! 😲
In the 50s, there was an optimism that any problem could be fixed and was being fixed. Up to the 70s, the was a basic belief in progress and improvement. Today nobody believes anything and nobody thinks anything is getting better. All we want is more toys than other people and not to have to think about the mess we're leaving the future. We know the party's coming to an end but want to go harder and faster, long after it's stopped being fun, until it crashes.
These are all interesting presentations, and Mr. Hall is absolutely absolutely absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely excellent.

@@alexanderangelo7284 That is circumstantial. He still chose to leave living in the US as a cultural choice. They could have stayed in the US, so it was obviously an agreed CHOICE of one country over another. Think again.

Thanks Rich as you said ask Americans where is New Zealand, sadly Rich America has died. It was a place I wanted to visited, maybe for me Lousianna for the music and food
Australia is the best dream.. even time at work even time off or at least every weekend off. 4 to 6 weeks holiday payed for every year 2 weeks of sick leave every year plus FREE healthy care. Who in there right mind wants to be American

My first quality guitar thst I bought was a Martin D-18 that I bought in 1973 when I was 12 years old for $459.00.
I loved that guitar. Until I ran out of money amass had no food.
When I lived in California after I separated from government service after 15 years, I could busk and make enough money to live. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest. I didn't have that option and so I had to get a loan to eat.
I wasn't able to find a job and therefore I lost my dream guitar.
I've never had another Martin guitar and I miss the quality of the sound of my guitar.
Sure, I've gotten gigs playing and singing since then.
Playing in bands and by myself, however I've never been able to buy another Martin that had the same quality of sound that my D-18 had.
I've bought other guitars that were well made and equivalent to that D-18 in price, but never equaled the sound.
Sorry, seeing the Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania just brought those memories back to me.
Rich Hall can make me laugh, but he can also remind me of things that aren't here any longer.
The thing about that time for me was that I had been living with my white father and after being in the military, it was just little old Cherokee me.
That's right, I was a Cherokee Indian and it didn't matter that I was not fully Cherokee, where I lived I was just another Indian and likely an alcoholic, even though I didn't drink alcohol at all.

I can’t get enough of these documentaries, they dig into the soul of the USA, with so many similarities to Australia where I live. Fantastic work.

I snigged Rich Hall's Disease: SNARKOLEPSY!
I remember Mr Hall explaining the definition of "bathquake" to Letterman, a term he concocted in his book he was promoting...all hail Rich Hall
I saw Richard Hall in Camden Town London (circa 2006) at a temporary storage firm where I was putting my house stuff in. He wore blue denim them days. Btw have u watched The Witch (2015) those were tough times.
