Yes, and Jeff's voice was similar. It's a shame they were estranged, Tim having "split" (Jeff's words) when Jeff was a baby, resulting in Jeff not knowing Tim as his father.
Hey man, I think a lot about the toasters, dig. I mean, the man gets some money, and buys some bread. At the same time, he uses the money to buy a toaster, dig. But the man is power crazed, and he starts looking at the toaster. Before long, he gets to toasting the bread. He's stuffing innocent bread into this toaster, which is like an electrical death machine, man. He's like a Nazi, sending bread to its death. It's like a bread genocide, ya dig.
So great to see this interview. I was there. His insights, his brilliance, his mental associations were incredible. He amazed me every time out. This interview was/is a superb example. Thanks for posting.
Hi Lee, I love your work with Tim, & just wondering will an album ever be released of 'Starsailor' (1 of the most brilliant albums ever) live circa 1970, or 'The Outcast of the Islands' ??
I'm reading your book 'Blue Melody' for the second time. It made me cry. It is so full of love for Tim Buckley and his artistry. Thank you so much for writing it and thank you for the music. Tim's voice has touched me more than anything else in the world. You are a wonderful friend for keeping his memory alive.
''Taught business.not Humanity''! could listen to Tim n Others As No One is Assumed Weird.!Everybody.can really speak.I Beleive Theres Still These Folk.!Now But Theres Far Too.Much 'On the Fence'..we tend to go to Dave Chappelle.As He's Totally Aware of All of these Things within these Times.'!infact What i rpt'd up above could easily be Somthing Dave Could Say..in his Style n way.!#Seems too many Are Afraid of Risking Much So its Just Better to Accept The Horror.Vs Putting a Target on 1self..!i get both points .!
I gotta say he had a very modern perspective on world issues, and it breathes volumes into the situations of today. He had a strong voice on multiple fronts.
2:30 made me cry. Advocating for harm reduction back then took real bravery. You could tell he got scared/self conscious and felt he should change the subject.
It was '71 and I was managing a band that shared the same rehearsal studio in Venice, Ca as Tim did. That's where were met. The hall was near the water and you could sit one the roof, overlooking the waves and smoke joints and talk. We did just that when my group was rehearsing. Tim was a tortured soul, a musical genius and very charismatic person with a great sense of humor...but sarcastic. We lost him far to soon..he was just breaking out. Just like Jeff, they were both lost tragically.
It's Crazy how ahead of his time Tim was Mentally... He is so much like Jeff but almost like the Dark side... Jeffs Musical Gift and General Kindness made him a True Shining Light.
Tim speaks the truth what a smart man we serve people we serve life. Caring is important. What a smart guy what I'm hearing I wish people were more like this about politics.
Tim Buckley....made some amazing music, had some amazing viewpoints on the issues, and made an amazing son Jeff, who did great things, with a great and emotional voice, and died young....is that OK? with all of you? Great artists and visionaries died, when they sholdn't have....we need to leave our mourning aside and celebrate them as the great poets they succeeded in being.
I think Jeff was a lot more soft spoken and looser than Tim during interviews. Plus it seemed like Jeff was alot more fun to be around with honestly haha
This interview shows that he was a very smart and insightful person in addition to being a superb musician. He's basically talking about mind control through religion, censorship, government, materialism, the electronic media and corporations. He then addresses the spirtual "inner" world being more real than the outside physical world that we get caught up in. Way ahead of his time he was. A lot of what he says jives with the current New Age/Ufology/Conspiracy Theory network.
how could he be any more clear? what is with you people... he spoke musician in jazz idiom because that was his world... this clip is very old... about forty years ago he was pointing out what oil companies were doing and are still doing and he was right... listen better...
I see nothing stupid about Tim's comments here,quite the opposite.Here's a genuine artist speaking in semi-hippie speak truths that still resound today,whatever the vernacular.Love Tim.
"You don't serve your countrymen, you serve life, you serve people, whatever you personally can give to people, not a country that's secondary." That's such a smart quote because everyone has something different to give or offer. Some people are in situations where they can't give something, whether it's love, money, support, etc. because they're trapped or others prevent them from giving. I really believe most people want to give. Yet the world is full of poverty. The 1% rich stop love.
He knew it all. Especially how he rounds off at the end of this interview. Unfortunately he thought hard drugs were a good idea.The 1960s were niave like that until him ,Hendix Joplin and Morrison&many friends people knew started dropping like flies before their 30th birthday'messed up his professional career.That would have been immense without hard drugs.
also, i want to thank all those folks who have taken the time and effort to upload all the "new" stuff on buckley. a year ago it seemed hopeless that there was anything on tb out there. i've been gone a year and it's great to see the new stuff.
reading back on a few pages of these comments its remarkable to find how someone who was trying to espouse a loving spiritual approach to life could stir up such anger and rancour.Its very rare for an artist (or anyone else for that matter) to be truly understood and rarer still for an artist to actually live up to the ideas they champion.And why should they be any better than anyone else just because they can conceive of a better way.Thought his singing was lovely and some songs were strong
I know there is a lot we now know so much more about the ocean but we don't just 'look at it'...the ocean provide us oxygen (the coral reefs)...even more so than trees. I am so glad that people have been trying to love our earth for a long time now...let's keep it up!
It's the speaking voice for me. I just came off a Jeff Buckley interview k-hole and watched every bit of footage available. It's very eerie. They sound the fucking same. People tend to pick up the mannerisms and general speaking patterns of people they're around but Jeff and Tim did not know each other. It's 100% genetics and it's freaky. I know we inherent a lot from our parents but this demonstrates it in a way I've never seen. Very soft, bell-like angelic voices with such warm tones. It's a unique sound. Jeff came off as being much more open to experience and sincere. Perceptive, pure, and kind. Vulnerable. I can't say enough good about Jeff's apparent demeanor. Some people communicate with their entire being and they're so charismatic naturally. Like the sun. It warms everyone around them. And they don't even have to try. You just want to be near them. Doing anything. Or doing nothing at all. Jeff was that way and it showed. That's the stark difference I pick up on between the two as it relates to interviews and interacting with others. I think Tim comes off as being rather patronizing to be honest. Bullheaded and stubborn. The first few seconds demonstrate the similarities the best. Tim's tone gets harsher as this video goes on. I pick up a lot of smugness, especially in the exchange with the guy in the glasses. But in general the sound and manner of speaking is nearly identical between this "father" and son.
In Truth, we are all the same when we speak, Truth. The spirit, does not lie. Both Tim and Jeff were honest spirits whilst on Te(lie)vision being questioned by “authority figures” who tried conversing with them by using ‘small talk’ or asking questions on topics that would box them in, thereby making the public view them a certain way- which was usually 9/10 negatively. It’s spirit. It’s Truth. Continue to speak yours. Remember, we are all-stars. Not allstars, ALL of US are STARS. We are all SUNS. We are all SONS of The One. You Shine your Light by expressing Inner Self, outwardly.
@@AtinyElring I agree with your premise, generally speaking. Still, I feel relatively comfortable making my original claim even if it's based off just this interview. Everyone has bad days and sometimes that means we must follow through with a previously made obligation even if we're in a bad mood. To me, this interaction demonstrates behavior that I think reveals a lot about Tim's fragile ego and the extent he'll go to maintain the appearance of moral high ground for himself. When that's challenged you can him begin to spiral. That's when the defense mechanisms are enacted and he doubles-down. In Tim Buckley, I read narcassistic tendencies that I've never seen in Jeff.
TV is hypnotizing and especially during Tim's time, with sitcoms -- the world was all fantasy and made regular people feel like crap because they didn't live in that lifestyle of perfection.
I love Tim Buckley after this because he is right and this was 40 years ago -- reality is inside us, not the superficial but impressive or unimpressive trappings. How happy Jeff Buckley would have been if he found more time for him -- and, well - what's over is over.
hahaha, cats? bread? this is fucking awesome! what a wonderful historical document, not just of tim but of the 60s/70s counterculture. i also love the dude in the glasses. poindexters just don't come that bonafide anymore. some good points made on both sides though. thanks for posting! if there's any more, let's see it!
Tim made some very valid points. It isn't about serving the system, government, or anything else...people are definitely what matter, regardless of the boundaries we place on each other. If everyone had that mindset, the world would be a better place. Organized religion has done a lot more bad than good it seems. Individual spirituality is much more important than a organization that proclaims God, while it begs for money and argues amongst themselves as to who is organizing the potlucks.
Jeff was in a totally different era, man. ANd yet there are so many similarities in the 'cool cat', yet eloquent, way they both speak and gesticulate. There are even comparable similarities in their intellegent, slightly scatterbrained, humaitarian point of views- it's crazy to think that they did not know each other.. Plus Jeff was seemingly cooler cause he learnt from the hippies' mistakes.. he grew up with them!
It’s not really crazy. He just didn’t have the vocabulary to express his feelings. I think the gist of what he was saying was very profound, very similar to what John Lennon and Bob Dylan were saying.
@@Re-Todd_Howard Yeah, it comes over as crazy, because he wasn't coming out of his words easily. That makes it sound scattered and messy, but what he said actually makes sense.
"...so I say, don't serve that, man, serve people" !!! And some would say our generation was self-centered because this was (and in some cases, still is) our ethos. That young dude in the suit and tie - he's young, but he's the epitome of "something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?" And the dialogue between Tim & Joseph Heller is interesting.
The bespectacled guy in suit and tie (I'm a poet) is obviously being set up as Mr Straight, as THE MAN, but he does speak sense. He's polite and articulate. One might not agree with his views but he's entitled to our attention. And, to be honest, he's more focussed than Tim in this conversation. Don't know why that could be...
@@Dermot2927 Yeah actually true, the dude with the tie didn't say anything wrong or square from this fragment, but Tim wasn't willing to hear him out and it made the tie guy look like he was against what Tim said.
he was petty intelligent - it wasn't Jeff's life he didn't want to be a part of - it was our society's life he didn't want to be a part of. Just as his son decided too. There is a better life though - a spiritual one that unfortunately they didn't find :(
Would you believe Buckley was up for the role of Woody Guthrie before he OD'd. He toured himself to death & wound up owing more money than when he started. He ended up a chauffeur for Sly Stone. Joseph Heller wrote a funny beautiful masterpiece. I saw Buckley @ Carnegie Hall and he was great but I never thought he was so small and so strung out.
we have grown very cinic to think Tim Buckley is a moron or naive for standing up for these things in the 60s. We need to put this in perspective, these guys did change things and took us to what we now see as the norm... They had raw energy and dreams. We have fucking consoles and internet, but we are smart asses.
"how the blunt imposition of the idea of a country is in itself a form of violence" hold on to that idea.... and tim's wasted on tv thats why he's so deep and honest
Damn. Now that I see Tim in video I realize that Jeff looked a lot more like him than I thought. Such strong, beautiful genes lol
Yes, and Jeff's voice was similar. It's a shame they were estranged, Tim having "split" (Jeff's words) when Jeff was a baby, resulting in Jeff not knowing Tim as his father.
@@YawasagE Jeff did know him. He stayed with Tim for a week, before Tim's death. Tim was trying to get close to his son
It scary how much he looks like him more so how he sounds like him
@@YawasagETim’s voice is much deeper than Jeff’s when he sang.
jeff was so much like his dad, the looks, the mannerisms, voice etc.
Xxcept the proficiency in musicianship & voice range :)
I agree, absolutely!!!
@@dimethaltryptamine1 Jeff's voice range was wider.
They were so gorgeous 😩❤️
Yep...and he, his son, didn't even know this self involved egomaniac.
"Anything that can be put in a lot of people's homes is made for bread."
This is especially true for toasters.
And butter
shieeeet, dats right
Crumbs, cat!
Corned beef and piccalilli...MADE for bread.
Hey man, I think a lot about the toasters, dig. I mean, the man gets some money, and buys some bread. At the same time, he uses the money to buy a toaster, dig. But the man is power crazed, and he starts looking at the toaster. Before long, he gets to toasting the bread.

Such a great musician and a great interviewer. Rest in peace Tim Buckley.
1947-1975.
It was '71 and I was managing a band that shared the same rehearsal studio in Venice, Ca as Tim did. That's where were met.
The hall was near the water and you could sit one the roof, overlooking the waves and smoke joints and talk. We did just that when my group was rehearsing.
Tim was a tortured soul, a musical genius and very charismatic person with a great sense of humor...but sarcastic.
We lost him far to soon..he was just breaking out.
Just like Jeff, they were both lost tragically.
MAN ALL THESE CATS ARE GETTING BREAD FOR NOTHIN, YA DIGG?
see Tim alive here is priceless.
god bless the youtube !
Yo this hip cat's got me jivin, ya dig?
I love how incoherent his rambling is, but poignant at the same time. he's like a stereotypical hippie. and yet he's just pure awesome.
Wow... This is almost 50 years ago and the things he speaks of coukd be TODAY. We are stuck in a machine
Go on Tim lad, lovely attitude my brother. RIP - your music fills me with joy in a dark world, Alhamdulillah
It's Crazy how ahead of his time Tim was Mentally... He is so much like Jeff but almost like the Dark side... Jeffs Musical Gift and General Kindness made him a True Shining Light.
Tim speaks the truth what a smart man we serve people we serve life. Caring is important. What a smart guy what I'm hearing I wish people were more like this about politics.
LOVE you,Tim.R.I.P brother.
Am I wrong, but is this 40 year old interview more open and more daring than any interview than one today.
Tim Buckley....made some amazing music, had some amazing viewpoints on the issues, and made an amazing son Jeff, who did great things, with a great and emotional voice, and died young....is that OK? with all of you? Great artists and visionaries died, when they sholdn't have....we need to leave our mourning aside and celebrate them as the great poets they succeeded in being.
Holy shit. Jeff sounds so much like Tim here. Same exact talking voice. Mannerisms. And they have the same face. It's so cool!
Riah Jones this is tim
It's amazing, Jeff looked and sounded a lot like his dad
I think Jeff was a lot more soft spoken and looser than Tim during interviews. Plus it seemed like Jeff was alot more fun to be around with honestly haha
@@uhgottadime yeh would’ve loved to have seen in at siné.

I wonder wether Buckley and Zappa ever met. Same perspective in thoughts...
how could he be any more clear? what is with you people... he spoke musician in jazz idiom because that was his world... this clip is very old... about forty years ago he was pointing out what oil companies were doing and are still doing and he was right... listen better...
Just listening now... 'Chase the blues away'....I'm in awe!
He seemed to be a person who wasnt born yet. Born int the 90ths not in the 40ths comparing, clothes and speeaking to the others in this video.

Intelligent, thoughtful and respectful conversation from both sides. Where is that now? Great interview and prophetic discussion.
I dig Tim Buckley's music; the cat laid down some groovy tracks, man. Nobody better...
Your vernacular brings me right back to the late 60’s -70’s !
I wish we still had things like this today on TV
Genetics are sooooo strong. His speaking voice, singing voice, intellect, physical beauty was all passed down to Jeff. Wish he’d been more of a dad.
I also wonder if Jeff ever saw this footage of his dad. He died a decade before UA-cam
absolute GENIUS
Great! wish i could find more Tim on here....Criminally underrated....Love you Tim! Peace
Tim's reflections are more rational than Jeff's. Jeff was complex but more criptical and casual than his father. Two smart minds, anyway.
Is criptical a word
No mention that JOSEPH HELLER is in this? Tim Buckley and Joseph Heller in a sociopolitical debate? How wild is that?
I love that people are passing on Joseph Heller in this interview, the writer of Catch-22.
Love him, soo ahead of his time.
Tim's right about TV and the world.
gosh !..these guys are so brilliant..wow!..geez..
I just fell even more in love with Tim Buckley.
also, i want to thank all those folks who have taken the time and effort to upload all the "new" stuff on buckley. a year ago it seemed hopeless that there was anything on tb out there. i've been gone a year and it's great to see the new stuff.

He was so Wise and so Talented, a Cool Guy Totally Missed..We All Lost an Universal Voice with His Untimely Death❤️🙏

Tim Buckley is a smart man I agree with him about this situation.
this man is right tim knew it all back 40 years ago

thanks for posting!x
profound, wonderful insight. I love the little point of acknowledgment at 3.54, cool as ice.
He looks so much like Jeff here its scary.
Time is so aware. He is a songbird to a generation ready for change
i loved it when he says about it about whats inside, stuff like your suit and how much perfume you wear doesent matter!
SO RELATIVE NOW HE WAS AMAZING RIP
..now - that`s a great document!!
TV is hypnotizing and especially during Tim's time, with sitcoms -- the world was all fantasy and made regular people feel like crap because they didn't live in that lifestyle of perfection.
Just as relevant todays age of social media as it was back then
THIS HIP CAT IS FREAKING ME OUT WITH ALL HIS JIVE TALK MAN.
Wisdom from a man who ditched his wife and firstborn....
Sooo much freedom and righteousness flooding the room around 2:17
very true, you can see the connection between tim and the older guy with the suit

hahaha, cats? bread? this is fucking awesome! what a wonderful historical document, not just of tim but of the 60s/70s counterculture. i also love the dude in the glasses. poindexters just don't come that bonafide anymore.
some good points made on both sides though. thanks for posting! if there's any more, let's see it!
Tim's are such deep people and Mr. Buckley was no exception. The man had a certain intellect not many will understand....RIP Tim.
I like how he was around in my city
Tim's a sharp man
Tim Buckley is quite transcendant.
LEGEND
Thanks for explaining. I think I get what he was trying to say.
Tim made some very valid points. It isn't about serving the system, government, or anything else...people are definitely what matter, regardless of the boundaries we place on each other. If everyone had that mindset, the world would be a better place. Organized religion has done a lot more bad than good it seems. Individual spirituality is much more important than a organization that proclaims God, while it begs for money and argues amongst themselves as to who is organizing the potlucks.
Jeff was in a totally different era, man.
ANd yet there are so many similarities in the 'cool cat', yet eloquent, way they both speak and gesticulate. There are even comparable similarities in their intellegent, slightly scatterbrained, humaitarian point of views- it's crazy to think that they did not know each other..
Plus Jeff was seemingly cooler cause he learnt from the hippies' mistakes.. he grew up with them!
The pure heart Hippie philosophy, so righteous, that lead to death by heroin in so many young people of those days.
sounds like a bit of crazy, drugs, and genius thrown together

What a Beauty. Inside. Outside. Sleep Well.
he was extremely prophetic..
especially if you think about what is happening on wall street right now
So much alike,he new the dark side also.they got him aswell.
quite an eclectic panel, this is awesome, where is the rest of this program?
Tim knew something that most people dont..
It is weird.....how much tim sounds like Jeff.....sometimes I think Jeff died to be back with his father and be happy
"ya dig? ..and he's gettin' bread"
he's really too beautiful to be true
Nothing he said was overly difficult to understand.
used to devastating effect in dj oil's "hypnosis"
Jeff was so like his dad
Righteous.
Bill hicks would say, `Ah, your selling that, free the world buck!`
Tim was on the money...
But he wasn’t there for jeff....
J Gus finally someone said it, no matter how beautiful his ideas are, he was ultimately an absent father.
Wonder if he beat himself up about his son....
@@sunnysyl7 no he didn’t she was like didn’t want the kid so peace out.
If he had raised his son, there would have been no Tim Buckley. And therefore, there would have been no Jeff Buckley, as a singer.
@@zarthus8545 Jeff Buckley was destined to become a poet, singer, artist, musician regardless
PREACH
@cutis1000
I do not have the full interview
this is assembled from pieces of video on My Fleeting House DVD
he was petty intelligent - it wasn't Jeff's life he didn't want to be a part of - it was our society's life he didn't want to be a part of. Just as his son decided too. There is a better life though - a spiritual one that unfortunately they didn't find :(
Would you believe Buckley was up for the
role of Woody Guthrie before he OD'd.
He toured himself to death & wound up
owing more money than when he started.
He ended up a chauffeur for Sly Stone.
Joseph Heller wrote a funny beautiful masterpiece. I saw Buckley @ Carnegie Hall and he was great but I never thought he
was so small and so strung out.
At 1:45, left side of the screen... SUPERMAN!!!
we have grown very cinic to think Tim Buckley is a moron or naive for standing up for these things in the 60s. We need to put this in perspective, these guys did change things and took us to what we now see as the norm... They had raw energy and dreams. We have fucking consoles and internet, but we are smart asses.
