"Because im not real" - Genius.. We are just bovines compared to this guys mind, Sun Ra was an angel of cosmos and you are all human-bovine.. Get into your living goddammit!!
"How do you know I'm real? I'm not real, I'm just like you. You don't exist in this society. If you did, your people wouldn't be seeking equal rights. You're not real. If you were, you'd have some status among the nations of the world. I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as 'the miss', because that's what black people are. Miss. I came from a dream that the black man dreamed long ago. I'm actually a present sent to you from your ancestors. I'm going to be here until I pick out a certain one of you to take back with me." "What if we don't come?" "Them I'm going to have to do to you like they did in Africa; chain you up, take you with me." "Are there any 'Whiteys' up there?" "They're walking there today, they take frequent trips to the moon. I know that none of you have been invited. You think you don't exist? The year 2000 is right around the corner."
Sun was from Philadelphia. He stole his style partly, I think, from the Mummers: Crazy groups of white guys parading through the streets on New Years Day wearing all manner of bangles, spangles, sequins and feathers. Where else would he have gotten the idea? Anyway, he was an original nonetheless. This is priceless footage. Back in the 70s, people made a point that Sun Ra's number was listed in the Philadelphia phone book for anyone to call. I don't know anyone who did, though.
You're paranoid. No one is trying to piss you off. This is TH-cam and the absolute last thing I would want to do is get into some bullshit argument with somebody I don't know and could care less to know. Squash it, will ya?
Like I said, if you don't get it (which you really don't), then it's ok. Let's not go around in circles on this. I have my way of looking at it and you have your delusional way of looking at it. Really, it's fine.
i dont like many hollywood movies either but when i say blaxploitation im thinking of cheaply made films with not much artistic value. Like dolemite or some shit may be funny to goof on but is it a good movie? Space is the place to me is on par with something like that or blackula lol
they only play his music in about 10% of the film. Plus it was horribly made. It was the biggest waste of time ever. I personally dont give a shit about whatever he talks about i just like the music. I am not a fan of theatrics in music but i like the way his band sounds.
@theskyisflying - yes you're probably correct, Cosby was more about the uppers&downers than psychedelics....... shame though..... In the name of expanding your mind, here Sun Ra gives us a run-down on the matter of recreational drugs :- "What it iiiis!"

congratulations. today this video was selected by the New Musiology blog archiving avant garde music. I had the ESP album "Nothing Is" when a teenager, and it influenced all my future music.
Can anyone tell me the song the kids are singing? "Thats the Way Love Is" i the title of many a song, but none of them sound like the one the dudes are singing. I've been trying to find out for a long time. What it is, what it IS!
I didnt get it when i first saw this in college. Now i do.
please explain it to me lol i'm so lost
Lovecraft Country brought me here.
Likewise 😃
Same
SUN RA was a out there dude, r.i.p. This movie was filmed in the bay area and I think the movie is pretty deep.
"greetings , black youth , planet earth" just this quote make u believe in the alien origin of this genius of art and music

OnlineAlbatross The MYTH is what he's saying. Not MISS.
silly me
Myth dude, Myth :p
Its also presence and not present.
I hope u had a chance to watch Lovecraft Country
Happy Birthday, to the GOD, HIMSELF... Sun Ra!
Continue to shine some LIGHT on us, down here, brotha!
weird brilliant sonny, he was one of a kind
That was Pimpolicious
A lot of people do and have. They are called other musicians and music fans.
Waaaay ahead of his time...literally. He's amazing!
He's a shaman.
now we got cable and the times when people believed shit ar over
The snow-flake option that TH-cam has going right now is bad mojo for this. LOL, forget. Love the man, love the myth, love the truth.
another giant who once roamed the earth.
I love how he regards them while they ridicule him between 1:07 and 1:11. Sun Ra rocks! I have some of his cassettes.
Funny how the kids were slow to pick up on the message. The posters on the wall made it seem like they were politically hip.
@TV3020001 Sun Ra was insane before his time.
@ppc1989ark That's an interesting and presumptuous view to take. I'm a woman and a huge Sun Ra fan. I have almost all of his works on my computer.
I always thought 70s blaxploitation films were the real films....that hollywood shit is just too bubblegum and sugar filled nothin real
My Uncle Eric Walker or Samurai Celestial played the drums for Sun Ra google them in Japan peace!
Lovecraft Country brought me here
Wow, that was the pure truth at the time, Malcolm X represent.
LOVE CRAFT COUNTRY BROUGHT ME HERE!!
make sure y’all follow me on Twitter: DotFocus_IMST
....maybe it's a bit too deep for you...it's ok if it is...
oh man this is a real gem soak it up........
It was the most phenomenal man in the world. Lord rest his soul. I hope you look down on us from Saturn.
What it is....what it....is!

God. What would happen if him and captain beefheart did a duet album?
he*
Would you say, "What if him did an album"?
Like I said, if you don't get it (which you really don't), then it's ok. Let's not go around in circles on this. I have my way of looking at it and you have your delusional way of looking at it. Really, it's fine.
genial... foi um grande músico e tinha uma ótima cabeça
i am sun ra ambassador of the intergalactic regions of the council of outta space
i dont like many hollywood movies either but when i say blaxploitation im thinking of cheaply made films with not much artistic value. Like dolemite or some shit may be funny to goof on but is it a good movie? Space is the place to me is on par with something like that or blackula lol

Not until OJ's lawyer did another black man manage to persuade so eloquantly on such a clear cut case.
eloquently*
put it in your google machine.
That's some deep shit.
People have different accents based on the regions they live. Maybe all these people are from a different area from you. Crazy idea, I know.
HEAVY!! I know why we never saw THIS in school.
you must intend to go around on this, because you're trying to piss me off. maybe when you're not high, you can think more clearly about this.
A true music god.
i dunno man.... our accents have changed a bit, but not too dramatically... it depends where you live i guess. Sun Ra = Rule ass
this movie was so bad. Its like a 70s blaxploitation film, it really has almost nothing 2 do with sun ra's music
@theskyisflying - yes you're probably correct, Cosby was more about the uppers&downers than psychedelics....... shame though.....
In the name of expanding your mind, here Sun Ra gives us a run-down on the matter of recreational drugs :-
"What it iiiis!"
It's not strange at all my dear. It's making a true point.
Sun Ra is not the only one beyond the illusion of a dichotomy in the human race...
Jaja a woman look like georgia anne muldrow
I love this piece we need sun Ra here today
man for a minute i thought that was a big ball of crystal meth....
Lovecraft country brought me
