I remember hearing his music when I was 10-12. Even then it got inside me and just stayed there, haunting and joyous, simple and deeply complex. Music and lyrics like that stays in you. Moving to the city at age 12 I use to see him often and say hello. He was an impossible figure standing there amongst the mortals.
I'm so excited watching this film about this great man and musician. I stumbled in the library across "The German Years" album and was very impressed by such an outstanding bio in the comprehensive booklet. And about the outstanding music too.
Perhaps it is now time for an investigative documentary on the making of The Viking of 6th Avenue - the Kickstarter Campaign that never yielded fruit. Perhaps all the money was paid to the talking heads...
They should stop the campaign and hand it over to someone who can do it What disrespect to keep this footage on hold and continue to solicit funds 8 yr later Moondog true original and straightedge as well I guess being blind gave him that edge

Changed my life, my musical life, my dance, my world. I love Moondog
Moondog self title album was how i heard of his music in 1969. Like to have Golden Fleece played as my final wish.
So sad to see this project so delayed. We've all been waiting for this movie for too long, hope it comes out some day.
I've been waiting on this movie for years. I feel like I need to know more about moondog.
Come on Holly ! do the film !!!!

Thanks for your work.
Whatever happened to this project? Did they just get the Kickstarter money and ran with it? Have we been betrayed?
Maybe they're being stalled by his estate in Germany??? Just an educated guess.
