  • @katherinetaylor5638

    I love that he chose items that he cares about deeply and that he actually uses! I feel like Americans especially are encouraged to buy stuff in excess rather than using what you have and only purchasing what you need. Chris clearly cherishes these essentials and appreciates the utility they provide. He could easily buy tons of different hats and boots and guitars and only use them once or twice, yet he doesn't. I've always loved his music and this video asserted how I feel about him as a person as well!

    • @CoastShuttle
      @CoastShuttle 5 місяців тому +3

      You touched on something that really speaks volumes about our society's obsession with excess. I recently watched an interview with Warren Buffet and he said, "How many houses, cars, clothes, etc does a person really need? It's okay to want to have nice things, but there's a limit. Anything beyond that eventually becomes not only unnecessary but just outright ridiculous."

    Okay coasties don't hate me! But I think his appreciation for his family and the elders in his life is a value that unites a lot of the Midwest and South with a lot of immigrant communities to the US. A deep gratitude for family and how they've made you who you are. Shows a lot of his character in what he chose and why he chose them.

  • @janine36
    @janine36 5 місяців тому +4

    As he was talking about his electric guitar and how he views it as a tool, I was thinking the same thing about quilts. I make quilts, and I want them to be used. Then he shows a quilt that’s been passed down through his family. He talks about how that’s what people grab when they need warmth, and that’s what he grabs if he’s running out of a burning house. Love!!

    This guy… has there ever been a more talented and humble human being than Chris? These GQ segments usually seems like promo ads for the items being brought out - sunglasses, watches, cell phones, etc. And Chris literally brings items he’s had since his childhood that most people keep boxed up in an attic somewhere. I fell in love with Chris’s music the first time I heard him sing. After watching interviews over the years, I think I love Chris Stapleton the person even more.
