John Maus Minnesota interview

I found this old interview of John Maus from 2011 on a website so I thought I'd upload it to UA-cam.
I don't own this all credit goes to Minnesota public radio

I never had an idol before... Then I heard John maus music!!!! What a brilliant and pure mind

[@userAnonymous90123]

He sometimes so stressed in interviews

[@kierstenemoser]

Yeah he seems kind of freaked out at first. I love this dude, such a beautiful mind - new fan here!

[@wesbrinsfield9770]

I don't think people really understand what he's trying to communicate with rights for gays. His introduction to the song is genius.

Interview starts around 2:47

[@playjessbrett]

Brilliant, thank you! Such a hero.

[@20thcenturyfoxyoutube]

6:40 "rights for gays" (song) explained

[@bobbulgi880]

I still don't get it

[@terryhughes7196]

Based

[@GeneralJoystick]

Could someone explain exactly what John means at 6:40 when he says he doesn't believe in human rights or gays? He is very complex.

[@J0rdan2147]

GeneralJoystick I think he's talking about how you should remove rights all together thus forcing everyone to be the same if that makes sense.

[@GeneralJoystick]

ah, okay. That makes the most sense, thanks.

[@nathan528]

In addition, I think regarding the idea of "the gays" he advocates for the concept of group identity being abolished, as it is a product of the system of power. He would rather see a return to the individual identity (ie. "There are are many sexes are there are people"). Truly a beautiful man.

[@YoungNino2017]

I think it's a facetious way of him actually saying that people will repeat a mindless platitude like "rights for gays" while not having any concept of what they or anyone means by it.

[@sunfish87]

Interesting. I love Jesus Christ and music. I agree with you guys, lets reach out to one another and make art!. Can someone tell me what he means in the last song? Sounds cool.

Unbelievable. 🇺🇸
