    Great interviewer for not letting FJM too easily - he needs to be challenged. His thoughts are meant to be questioned in the same manner he is questioning the world around him. He is great and long live debate!

      Zero138 he just needs to listen to josh, and make a joke. Like Marc maron did in his interview a year or so before. It’s just exploration, he just has a way of saying it that people can’t usually boil it down to.

    the real hilarity here is that most of these comments are exactly what he is talking about in this interview... the beard is back, he needs sleep, lay off the drugs, do the drugs... everyone has it all figured out for him, thank god, now he can have a solid career...

  • @shadygroves8252

    Love the core of this interview - that music can do very bizarre things, like heal pain, isolation, sadness, confusion and anger. "That's what it's there for."
    I've felt a deep connection with this last record for him. Yes it's dark, yes it's meta, it's whatever you want to call it - but it's honest. His writing is so honest even when he's lying to your face with his tongue in his cheek. Tillman is a unique figure; he's kind of an antihero.
    He's needed right now, whether he's a cynical asshole or a drugged out egomaniac, I truly think he's a good person with goals of connecting people emotionally - and that's beautiful.

    What I think is that art should not be created with reliance on some thought to be so called widespread appeal but instead and I think this is quite obvious - feeling. As long as your art is by you and from you completely(sensibilities and emotional growth accounted for) , it will be well received by your audience.

    I find it a little daunting that Josh lost fans because of his anti Christian views. It's absurd to me, but I think very much like Josh and I'm almost militant agnostic - atheistic in my views. It's just sad that someone can turn off their love because of an artist views on life. One of my favorite songs ever is Cohen's hallelujah.

    • @mikeporten8174
      @mikeporten8174 7 років тому +6

      Bionik Games I'm pretty damn Christian, but I also love music. I couldn't give two shits what an artist's views are on religion or politics (one way or another) as long as they're not all up in your face about it.

    • @rjohndonahue8262
      @rjohndonahue8262 6 років тому +2

      His christian and anti-christian views are complex so any fans beneath that kind of uncomfortable complexity weren’t very much fans at all, given the levels from which he approaches every subject.

    *** As a preface, I like FJM and love his music ...
    but jesus, I really feel for the guy: he's so tangled up in his own intellect that he feels the urge to qualify everything he says. You don't have to imagine Voltaire or de Tocqueville (or a lynch-mob) across the table to engage in an "Enlightenment" dialogue -- it's a fucking dialogue, and by dint of music's instinctual and emotional power, you're pretty much golden anyway, since it confounds the rational mind to some extent (that's even his point: "music is cathartic ... forget you're human").
    He's stuck in the Jonathan Swift conundrum of treating serious material seriously by doing it through the lens of irony and humour, but he's too rapt by post-modern relativism and distrustful of external perception to own it.
    Obviously and thankfully this doesn't impact his writing, since it's done at the speed of inspiration, but it makes for a closeted interview.

    • @blahblahblahblahbla2705
      @blahblahblahblahbla2705 6 років тому

      Daimonion He's just very distrustful of the world and definitely has a right to be.

    • @stefanopellegrini7094
      @stefanopellegrini7094 5 років тому

      I agree and also feel he's just not only scared to say something he'll later regret, but also doesn't really know how to answer those questions about himself and his art, so he rationalizes like at the same time the words come out from his mouth. I really enjoy watching him speak though.

      @Peabody6517 7 років тому +5

      two issues with it. first, musically it was just sterile for me - I found it to be more interesting to read than to listen to, secondly, I had an issue with him projecting such an extreme viewpoint of the world as if it was objective with no irony - just like "this is how it is" no it's not you're just sad and so you see a sad world. why make it my problem? i just didnt feel like going on that journey

    • @SSJSOLO
      @SSJSOLO 7 років тому +3

      I feel the same way. I love the album but I didn't really connect with it like I did fear fun or honeybear. His voice and style are still on point but the soul is missing. Its more persuasive to his point of view on life. I love but its my 3rd favorite album. Josh do more meth please. Thanks

    • @Peabody6517
      @Peabody6517 7 років тому +4

      actually he was taking lsd i think the first two albums. i loved fear fun, one of the best albums i've ever heard in my life, which is why i felt kinda hurt about this one. but it was a personal album for him and i understand that. he's clearly super talented and i will probably always follow his career.

    • @MrJlc93
      @MrJlc93 7 років тому

    Do us a favor, honestly, when you refer to "the record", put in the effort to say the name of the record so we don't have to research the discography to know for sure to what record you refer. Not trying to be harsh, but that was a no-brainer. This is about Pure Comedy, the album, as opposed to the song on an imaginary possible alternate album title.
    Josh is a nice boy. I hope he finds the peace he needs to avoid taking speed in the future. Drug use itself may not be a bad thing, but it can be a warning sign that you're treating a condition of the heart/spirit that can be better treated without chemicals, and which could be made worse with them.
    Thanks for the music. It's a plus. It adds to the general good of existence.
