- Francoise Mouly talks with R about his life and work ,France & the new illustrated book of Genesis, and he takes questions from the audience. They're doing this only 5 times around the country, well worth your time. R, keep on truckin'. www.amazon.com/...
I really respect Crumb for his advice to stay sober. Here's a guy who did it all and has come to the conclusion that it really isn't a good idea in the end and it sounds like he thinks it is mostly a waste of potential.
He seems a little mellower, warmer, more cheerful here than in Crumb. Maybe living in France has been good for him.
Agreed. Of all his interviews this is actually the most animated and comedic I've seen him. You could tell he was firing on all cylinders. And he seems more socially assimilated here.
Honesty is R Crumb, R Crumb is honesty. You can hear the freeness in his voice.
"Stay sober" what a great advice to the youth.
Consciousness is a gift. in fact the totality of our instincts of survival/self-preservative can only function in the vital realm of our consciousness. But consciousness should expand in order to live better and stronger. it's a waste of life if we never work on our own consciousness and never try to learn new facts of life.
consciousness is indeed a gift; and so is the ability to alter it!
If he never dropped acid he would probably would still be working at the greeting card company.
@@calamagrostis88 your fucking right on and this demented geek shows no appreciation for what the cid kickstarted for him! he was right there where it was all happening,talking with janis and the whole scene.and all he could do was fantasies about fat jewish chicks and play his ukeleli to old'20s songs!
The audience is determined to laugh at everything he says.
Interesting to listen to.
Why is the audience laughing incessantly? "Drugs" Hahahah "Smoked pot" HAHAHHAHA "Recovering from a bad acid trip" BAHAHAHA. Crumb must be giving this talk infront of an auditorium full of preteen schoolgirls.
Sam Pickles cos they all were stoned and drunk
But come on, let's be fair here: if the audience wasn't laughing they'd be derided as being a "terrible audience" by someone else in these comments. This seems, at the very least, like an exceptionally receptive audience to me.
Certainly bodies are affected by everything we consume, but for practical purposes, "recreational drugs" is an easy to understand and useful concept. I have no problem with people using Marijuana because it's safe when compared to alcohol or tobacco. But, it's also fair to state that even pot has it's unwanted side effects, one being is that it's habit forming for most users, and smoke inhalation isn't good for the lungs. And the munchies.
Mushrooms or Peyote, okay, but not LSD. Set and setting are crucial. Crumb is right, though, life would be better without drugs, but humans want to get high. Pot is probably the least harmful of the recreational drugs, but there is a strong taboo against it. I quit pot in 1990, and I expected it to be really tough, but it was easy. And no cravings for it later.
But, like Crumb, I'd smoke it in my dreams. I'd say pot was as habit forming as television.
mu99ins lsd best possible thing that I experience
It's serious when you can't get on the internet. Soon, they'll have IA meetings, (internet anonymous). "Hello, my name is Muggins and I'm an internet addict."
with a brain like the one Crumb has, who would need drugs?
Even Crumb says LSD sucks. I am not anti-drug in general. Weed is not very harmful. Hate cigarettes, but everyone I know who has tried LSD says it is horrible. Hopefully someone who is wondering whether to take it will avoid it because it changes your neural synapses permanently and some people do not end well afterward. Don't take the chance.
Bla bla bla wrong.

The medical profession has missed a big opportunity due to the laws around psychedelics .
There have now been numerous studies which seem to suggest that if properly used in a medical situation they can be a great help with the treatment of depression.
I'm not saying just go out and get stoned , I just think that used in medical situations a lot of people may get relief.
@RotoPlasmX I wish. Distance x ushers = what you see. Treat it like radio; this was a rare chance to hear the man interviewed.
Comcast was working in my neighborhood this afternoon, and our internet access was down. Talk about habituated.
We are aware that Mr. Crumb detests "Keep on Trucking", aren't we?
i dunno, are we........black?
I can only speak for myself.
never seen blazing saddles?
Yes I am familiar. I wasn't sure if you were supposed to be the Waco kid or Sheriff Bart. Your choice. I'm more of a Howard Johnson type.
sorry, anytime someone starts talking "we" i always say that line....
Typical of an old man. Crumb would've been nothing without drugs.
Thanks for this slice of Crumb, emmylunatic....
that's it...stay sober
NO ONE P0ERSON can be held responsible for the New York Magazine's descent into utter mediocrity since the early 1990s, but they couldn't have done such a bang-up job of it without Francoise Mouly's indispensible contributions.
In the video, the term "drugs" was used in the context of recreational drugs, not medicines. Some people don't take drugs everyday of their lives. Me, for example. I like to have my dram of single malt Scotch every evening, but I often forget. You think you'll be dead without marijuana. I know that feeling, since I smoke it steady for 23 years. You have to stay away from your pot smoking buddies for a while to quit.
That's what I was thinking -- that he seems much more comfortable talking to the crowd, here. (Good lord! Could Crumb be coming out of his shell, finally? ha, ha)
@RotoPlasmX it's a bootleg from a conference.. wtf do you expect?
Weird, I remember the experience quite the same, except throwing up on my girlfriend.
I still have the smoking dreams like He did, except they are about cigarettes.
@RotoPlasmX Ha -- yeah, but it's here and that's a good thing.
This crowd is clearly younger. Laughing at everything drug and alcohol related (inlcuding bukowski's alcoholism). And sanctimoniously clapping for Crumbs 'stay sober' message.
Not really their fault; Crumb didn't really seem to mind. But kudos to those who could shut up and listen.
Without LSD he would never have broken out of the cardboard life he was stuck in. LSD is a truth drug... people just can't handle the truth.
A beautiful truth was revealed to me on LSD. I cried uncontrollably. Tears of joy
@@jackedkerouac4414 Yeah, I have been talking to people about it recently, and there is a polarised reception... some say it totally freaks people out and others say they met god. If you got heavy baggage, chances are you'll have a heavy trip.
@@mukhumor Yeah and it's hard to tell who won't be able to handle it. I doubt I'll ever take lsd or mushrooms again but if I do I'm flying solo. Some ppl should never take psychedelics. Who takes off without telling anyone making ppl look for them for hours? Never again.
@@deltahomicide9300 Thats why some people have a trip sitter.
@@mukhumor We had one once and he did help. Calmed us down when the sun was coming up lololol
R's bears is awesome!
@ioriorioriorio
I live in CT, what the hell were you doin here?
I've never heard R. Crumb use the f-word.
He's just getting older I think.
