Manu's view on the TV media in the States is very accurate. I came from Europe and remember being exposed to the World news and events ever since I remember. Here, in the States, there is a sense of cultural isolation. There are plenty of local news on TV, but not much about foreign events UNLESS they pose a direct threat to America. Then, when the news reach the public, one gets the feeling that the news are quite one-sided and taylored to match the politics.
Que grande es Manu!!! Me encanta su musica :)) Tiene un accento precioso:PP Hablo español poco, that's why I'm going to write in english.:) Actually I started learning Spanish because of him, I wanted to know what exactly were his songs about. I like the way he talks about life, it is true that people who "have got access to the mic" always say the same, and they don't want to change things. But Manu's different, and that's why I love him so much :)) We love you in Serbia! :)
this point about tv in the US is so true, that is why most americans beleive that there are toilets only in the US, and that there are no tvs or cars outside of the US, or what is even worse, that there is no inteligence outside of the US....In Ecuador where I come from we have news from Europe, and the rest of the latin american countries, that is why we are friendly to foreigners, and not so scare about any person that looks different or speaks different.
que grande manu !!!!! it s so good that u make all this gringos to understand that north america is not tha whole wold !!!! n when u talk about hope , they don t know whats the situation down in soth america or any third world ! they re so used to growing up having everything thy need or want !!! dale manu otra vez un pedacito de realidad para esta gente !!! good job man !
he is a beutiful spirit and i hope his music will flow through the world forever! i´m going to see him for the second time this summer dancing non stop! love you manu!
este man habla con una firmeza que me inspira seguir con la musica coño man manu eereres cule bien man sigue asi con ese pesnamiento poco a poco ifluencias gente para cambiar esta poqueria que han dejado los gobiernos con su ganas de apoderarce del mundo
it's so ridiculous that some people think he is on coke. You can look at his eyes and have no doubt in your mind that he is clean. Quite the genius really!
IF YOU GOT NO HOPE, YOU DEATH talentosisimo, inteligente, con conciencia social... ademas creo que es inmortal!!! nomas no le pasan los años encima!!!!!!!
fernavil: Manu nombra a la banda irlandesa Stiff Little Fingers. Surgió a fines de los 70. Dice que ese grupo tenía une energía impresionante. Yo tengo algunos CD y puedo afirmar lo mismo que dice él.
i was struck by how he talked about musicians who have "access to the mic" and the need to listen to people from all walks of life. vote for small revolutions first in your neighborhood as a step to change the world.
Stiff Little Fingers, me parece que son una banda punk de Irlanda, pero noe stoy muy seguro de eso...había una canción famosa de ellos que creo se llamaba Tin Soldier o Soldiers...saludos.
Manu is def not on coke. Coke and drugs rob you of your thoughts, emotions, feelings. You become dead on the inside. Manu is more alive and expresses crazy amounts of positive energy and emotions. Listen to the music dummy.
A person on cocaine doesnt care about others so much as he demonstrated during the video. Maybe he is just in a state of mind that you never experienced.. yet.
What he says about the TV in Europe is so untrue. I’ve lived more than a year in Germany and you get maximum a couple of American channels and that’s pretty much it. In addition, all but one channel (CNN) are in German. Actually when I first got to Germany I was so surprised how ignorant Germans are of other European countries (Southern European countries) although they have been part of the European Union for more than 20 years. In Germany, Africa actually starts south of the Alps.
No offence budd, but you haveno i dea what he feels, you havent lived it nor do you or I have any idea how those who live in hell feel. Though what you say is not true; what you say is on the right track, though i'm just refering to the fact don't preach saying you know or think those in the mliddle or higher class know. It's crap, mothers go on the street to feed their children and return with nothing, i can't even start to think what that must feel like.

He is great!!! ... It's really extraordinary to see an artist expressing himself so clear and with lot of sense about life.

it's so ridiculous that some people think he is on coke. You can look at his eyes and have no doubt in your mind that he is clean. Quite the genius really!

I like this guys thinkin
Live, his band really are something special! Only problem is makes most other shows Ive ever been to seem lame by comparison

@slingshotkid77 Absolutely true. A man, like there are not many.
Un tipo con todas las letras!
He is the hottest man in the planet
He has a Sableye on his hat. Sableye, the pokemon.
MANU CHAO IS GOD , NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
@slingshotkid77 I totally agree.
dijo stiff little fingers yo escuchado sobre de esa banda.
lol thats why because he speaks fluent inglish spanish french and prolly italian too
@gypaete64 Yes that's true, he is very shy guy ( I met him about two weeks ago) but sooo kind :))
and he knows portuguese as well...

I love the guy and all that but seriously, lay off the coke man, look at the way he's shaking. Don't waste your God Given Gift, please.
