    Very nice interview with our lovely Brian. He always seemed like a thoughtful person. When I found out he was a fellow horse lover I almost came unglued, since I've been obsessed with them since I was 4. We all still miss you dear Brian. RIP to you, Mick, and Steve. 💜💘

    What a sweet, sensitive man. When he said he can't stand seeing animals mistreated, it melted my heart ♥♥♥

      A sweet and gentle soul, so sensitive that it was all too easy to inflict wounds...if the eyes are the mirror of what you have inside, in his case, everything was transparent. Those extraordinarily dark grey-blue eyes shone like a summer night in his best moments, but when he was suffering, they were as black as the deepest of abysses...❤

      @@aureaestelasantos3059 They were eyes of such a dark tone that they stood out against that very light skin and hair, but it wasn't so much the aesthetic factor that counted. They were so expressive that, even without saying anything, they let everything shine through. When he was in pain, for whatever reason... those eyes were the theatre of a tragedy of which you seemed to be a spectator and even part of... so black that it hurt, so black that you couldn't bear to look at them...The souls you can easily hurt are also the best... is the other side of the coin❤️

      @@aureaestelasantos3059 I know people who have met him in person. Then of course, if you have a good spirit of observation and human empathy, even if only from similar life experience, you realise so many things, which corroborate what you are told...It takes great sensitivity to do this...to be able to 'feel' the person...When you can verify, from certain signs, that the person who met him told you the truth, then it's worth spending more than a kind word on him

      @@michaelkaye9244 "Genuine'' is exactly the right word. Even on stage, where everything is quite planned, he always had a disarming manner. If someone walked past him, he would smile and say ''hello'', like a child would, not an adult. Someone would throw flowers and what would he do? He would say, "How beautiful!", pick them up and give kisses with his hand.... There was always something innocent, candid, heedless of what others might think....From personal experience, I know what he must have suffered. The estrangement from the band as a kind of second abandonment, as an object no longer welcome, that can be thrown away. A wound that started bleeding again...I swear I've NEVER spent as many words for any artist as I have for Brian...RIP at best and that's it. For Brian it was all different, as if he had awakened in me things dormant in time, for affinity, hard times...I have for him tenderness, admiration, understanding. He didn't leave me indifferent...

    So nice to hear him sound so strong and healthy .... sounds so confident. Makes you love him even more, if that's possible. Nice photos, some I've never seen. So sad how his life ended ..... RIP Brian Connolly.

      The end of vulnerable, sensitive souls...as he was, as they say, skinless...he felt everything, deep down, the joy and sadly, the pain...you could feel it even when he was healthy. He was a being you could hurt...They are also the most beautiful souls.... It's the flipside of the coin...❤

What a phenomenal man!! Thanks again! And thank you for sharing the story about the photoshoot, it's really funny, exactly something the Sweet would do..
