In another country, this guy would be called 'a national treasure' and he wouldn't even have to go into his pocket for the price of a glass of beer, because someone would pick up the tab for him. We just don't treat artists like they do in other countries, and that's sad. For instance, in Japan, there's this guy that does 'shogi' screens, the paper screens that go between rooms. He uses actual leafs, with a rice glue to put them on the paper so it looks like falling leafs in autumn, going past you, and it's really cool art. He hasn't had to pay for anything for years because he's a 'national treasure'. Cool.
@@bobullrich4795 I always thought he kinda modelled himself on johnny cash singing about western stuff and wearing black all the time...johnny cash with high pitched voice
@@bobullrich4795 ya...not inferring stan the man was some kinda rip off of johnny cash...stan ridgway is an original legend in his own right but just if you look at johnny cash vocal delivery and delivery of stan they are similar but different octave
I've got Dark Continent, Call of the West, and The Big Heat. You'd never guess from that average speaking voice that Stan has one of the most unique singing voices in music.
I am a huge fan from way back, and it was great to hear him personaly confirm some of my "obvious maybe" calculations I've had over the years, as to his creative influences.
Devo was around long before WOV. Devo formed in the early 70's when they were attending college together. Sounds like someone needs to do some music history homework.
I remember Stanley I use to work for him. When he was with L. S. D. This interview is way old not 7 yrs ago. May have got dug up but this is over 30 years ago. 1970's late/ maybe early 80's. I have photos of him from 1989 to 1992
I met someone online who knew Cam (Camogie) O'Flage, an Irish marine of deep faith who joined the US military only to save lives, not to fight in war. He was an inspiration for a song with a ghost story: "Woah Camouflage."

An underrated musical genius. Love this guy’s work! Yeah!
He taught himself to play 27 different instruments. True genius
Such an underrated songwriter of the 20th century. Really love this guy's work.

He's the Leonard Cohen of the desert. Been a fan for decades.
same with Johnny Thunders.

@@babkeebabkus8177 I agree with that. Johnny Cash meets Ennio Morricone. His lyricism has the depth of Cohen.

Stan is the man...Great interview
one of the our most creative souls...

Camouflage is a spectacular song
Stan's the man!!!!!
I am a huge fan from way back, and it was great to hear him personaly confirm some of my "obvious maybe" calculations I've had over the years, as to his creative influences.
Stories / Songs / Music like : The Big Heat, Just Drive or Twisted are, to me Fantastic.
Wall of Vodoo is part of the historic American culture.
I’ve just discovered the big heat. Mind. Blown. Absolutely. So incredibly awesome.
I wish Stan would make a tour up to Canada, I would really love to see him one more time before we are gone.
end of the line his song is brilliant i love that one
Greatness.
Even Gary Numan did a watered down version of camouflage in my breathing , shows that wall of voodoo and Stan had effect on a wide variety of acts
Camouflage is Phantom 309, in Vietnam.
Damn, he was good in Wall of Voodoo.
Bob Dylan…. Can’t get away from that freaking guy…..
No we in Europe thought it actually was based on a real ghost
one cool dude
Would like if he wrote a book
I think Stan could do a great George W Bush impression
anyone know where to find the song "Twisted" by this Icon?
bunnie?

Freakin Chicken Devo Knock Off.
Wats a chicken devo?
I love DEVO and Wall Of Voodoo. There’s not much similarity between them. They’re both post-punk/electronic bands but really thats it.
@@bulletbelt97 Agreed . some people keep comparing WOV to Devo. Nothing like IMO
They were before devo

I met someone online who knew Cam (Camogie) O'Flage, an Irish marine of deep faith who joined the US military only to save lives, not to fight in war. He was an inspiration for a song with a ghost story: "Woah Camouflage."
Stan who?
Oh, that bloke who had a hit with 'Camouflage' in the '80s.
You know the one... some Vietnam shit...
He’s actually a really cool dude.
@Alan Cogan The arcade game 'Commando' came out around the same time, and I always played better with 'Camouflage' on the juke box.
Great days...
@@bingola45 Wolf of the Battlefield
No wrong song!
"Camouflage" was Cam (Camogie) O'Flage, an Irishman of deep faith who joined the US military only to save lives, not to fight in wars.
