That’s a stretch! You don’t notice his grey temples and forehead wrinkles? And greying beard? Ageless? No, but then no one really is. I like Ethan Hawke but he’s still only human.
HJ Mcpaid there’s a funny moment in some interview he did a while back, (can’t remember which) where the interviewer asks him “when you lived in Hollywood....” and Ethan Hawks politely interrupts “Sorry, I’ve never lived in Hollywood. I live in New York and I’ve done movies in LA but I’ve never lived in Hollywood.” Thought that was funny.
Didn't expect this authenticity from a 1st row Hollywood star, I suppose prejudices are just like that. You gotta have a great human sensibility to talk that way about Lightnin' Hopkins and van Zandt, they are indeed immense artists. Great wimb here
Ethan is a bad ass and genuinely nice guy. I met him in the 90s when he every teen girl's heartthrob. I had guessed he was pompous and a pretty boy. Nope. This guy is the real deal, true blue man.
This is maybe my favourite episode of What's in My Bag yet. I have always been an Ethan Hawke fan, but as a musician with an immense respect and value for music history and the bigger story behind the songwriters, Ethan's knowledge, understanding, passion, and tastes impress and entertain me beyond end.
I just imagine Jessie is in the record store and telling us all of the music he loves. Celine is standing off to the side watching lovingly and smiling. 🥰
I think he and John Prine are in the same boat. Other musicians love them, and cover their songs, but somehow they never got the general acclaim from the public at large that they deserved.
To blatantly rip off Steve Earle: "I will stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots screaming that Townes Van Zandt is the greatest American songwriter."
He knows what he likes and knows the history. How does someone get there? Curiosity in not just about music, but life in general. There is genius and authenticity in every genre of music, all you gotta do is know when you hear it. It takes time to cultivate it.
Best episode ever. He has incredible taste and everything he likes is connected to each other someway! He's very articulate too which is always a nice change of pace.
I feel like i needed this, hate all the pop country that has taken over my generation these days but I KNOW theres good country out there, just never knew how to find it. Got a lot of listening to do this week. Mad respect to Ethan, I had no Idea what to expect and was oh so very pleasantly surprised. Gonna go watch Brooklyns Finest now!
Tyler Childers, sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton and Colter Wall are some great newer artists that are ushering in this new Renaissance of folk/ country. I agree this pop country shit is why people say they like everything but country. Cause that ain't country sweetheart, that's trash
myname ismud he was told by a veteran of the military that kneeling would be a peaceful way to protest. How is he a phony if he literally ended his career for this cause? Yes, he was benched, but if you think he couldn’t have been a backup and a chance to get back to form, you’re not being truthful or you have no idea what you’re taking about.

So many of my favorite artists and actors love and adore John Prine, after listening to him for about a year, his death really hurt my soul and probably theirs too. RIP John Prine

Fantastic episode. Ethan Hawke is an awesome actor and person. There were a couple maroons in the comments over the kneeling issue, but overall it was pretty civil. I think that speaks to your channel and the audience that your work is drawing. Kudos.

More of a blues lover than country myself but I checked out Blaze Foley after Ethan's biopic came out and I trust this man's taste in anything. I do appreciate old school country storytelling and it seems like he appreciates the difference between sincere honest country music and rubbish "yee haw, pick up trucks and whisky" songs that pass for country these days.
Politics aside, as an avid NFL fan...Kap was not as good as people say. He actually regressed into a mediocre at best QB once defenses figured him out and took what he was good at away from him. It inevitably weakens his protest. He didn't do it when he was a starting QB with a chance at championships. It came after he was exiled in shame to the bench and as a dissatisfied employee. You can't help but feel there is some disingenuous motive there to remain relevant while kind of hiding behind virtue.
Hello there. Thank-you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
Love Ethan Hawke and his musical taste. Definitely gonna explore mentioned artists. But gotta say as a Russian - USSR never was a fascist country. Communism is not fascism, it’s just not.
I just listened to the Hamilton Leithauser album he picked at 4:02. It is a really, really solid album. It's like Pet sounds (Beach Boys album) intertwined with a western movie. Great recommendation!
The more people discover Townes Van Zandt the better! The greatest songwriter I've ever heard. And I've listened to Dylan, Drake , Cohen and Tim Buckley.
I hadn't heard of most of this artists as its not my taste, but damn he made me want to check them out. This & the Jason Mantzoukas episode share a similar enthusiasm.
Barely several seconds into this video and YOU JUST KNOW were in for a treat of dialog from Ethan.. Couldnt really stand his movies but by god he was built for this music info. His eye possess joy from the discussion leaving his mouth. WOW WOW WOW.
one of the best episodes i've seen. This video gives me so much respect for Ethan, seems like such a genuine good guy.
I would also recommend his Closet Picks video on Criterion's youtube page if you're into films. Really enjoyable, and more evidence that he knows his stuff.
Seems very humble. Would love to meet him one day

Never seen the guy in a BAD movie, he's very underrated. My favorite though was TRAINING DAY.

Ethan Hawke needs to do a music podcast. I'd listen to that every day. What a great episode this was.
There's a podcast on actors on Google play music. Look up "podcasts" on the tab and look up Chris Hardwick. Ethan Hawke is there 👍
great idea, i will produce that pod.
so true !

I could hear him talk at length about anything. Such a thoughtful and thorough individual.
Can every episode just be Ethan Hawke talking about music or whatever he wants?
I'd watch it. This was awesome, he's so passionate about the art and know's what he's talking about.
Right? I love listening to him speak. One of few celebrities that respects the arts and equally gives it credit. Hes passionate about music and film.
I approve this message!

I'm eager to start researching all those artists.
Thanks Amoeba and Ethan Hawk.

Too few people know about Townes Van Zandt!
My stepfather introduced me to Townes Van Zandt!
If everyone on earth knew about Townes Van Zandt...it still wouldn't be enough.
I think he and John Prine are in the same boat. Other musicians love them, and cover their songs, but somehow they never got the general acclaim from the public at large that they deserved.

Ethan Hawke is so passionate about the things he likes, it's refreshing to hear someone thoughtful and sincere.
Every time I watch a video with Ethan Hawke, I admire him more and more. A genuinely passionate, intelligent, thoughtful guy.
He knows what he likes and knows the history. How does someone get there? Curiosity in not just about music, but life in general. There is genius and authenticity in every genre of music, all you gotta do is know when you hear it. It takes time to cultivate it.
Fun, super interesting music & background ,and v humble guy. One of the best episodes
I have a whole new respect for Etahn Hawke. Not that I didn't before, but this is one of the most interesting collection to date, I believe.

Man.......that was the most enjoyable 10 minutes I've had in a long time! Top man Ethan.......
I love this dude. Most of my friends and family reject country music, but there can be so much depth,, rebellion and emotion in the genre.
This is one of the best "What's in my bag" in recent memory. I want to check out some of the artists that he mentioned.
This gotta be one of the best "What's In My Bag?" in the history of mankind. How cool was that?!!!
First Reformed... Best Movie of the Year! Ethan Hawke will win the best actor Oscar for it!
Agreed one of the best performances of the year
I rented it off Redbox and my DVD player wouldn't play it but I was told it was really good
He should, at least. Amazing.
When I heard Ethan Hawke was going to be in a movie directed by Paul Schrader, I knew I had to see it, regardless of what is was about.

Yes sir.. "There's more vodka in this piss than there is piss!!!!!"

Townes Van Zandt is probably the best American songwriter / storyteller of the 20th century.
