What a treat to hear k.d. lang talk about herself. She remains such an open, spiritual, respectful woman. To think she ever
thought she was not attractive, she's so super attractive. I understand there is much stress in the music industry. I do hope she would perform again and I would know about it. I'm so grateful I came upon this interview.
I grew up in Kentucky and remember fondly the Rex days, lived in Portland during Mr Bigshot days and I have loved KD since her cow punk and Torch and twang days! I listen to her Tony Bennett duets, and the brilliant performance of Leonard Cohen. Hallelujah! This is a fantastic interview. I’m glad I came across it.
She's so relatable. Her peace spreads to others.
Thank you so much for this. Listening to k.d., whether she’s singing or just talking, feeds my soul. No other way to put it. 😊
She's amazing, I love her straightforwardness and modesty,seance of humour sincerity and humanity. She's a beautiful person!
Was this an interview? I do not know, I do not think so. Was there a script? I don't think so either. It just happened to be an experience that no communicator has ever been able to achieve with k.d. lang.
Thank you Rex and Josh (whom I did not know before today) for making it possible for us to hear about k.d. during COVID time. And above all, having her message, thought and spirit, I have never seen her so open in a focused way, on sensitive and current issues for everyone. God bless you k.d.
A big hug from Mexico
The beauty of her soul radiates an illumination that is more beyond this existence
I think kd might laugh about that.
Anything to do with kd my ears pick up love her music her amazing voice especially her personality I'd love to see her in concert again AWESOME
My love for Kd brought me here. Watching the sincere circle of appreciation in this hour made it one of the best interviews I have seen. A woman whose voice matches her beautiful spirit. Thank you, Rex and Josh...and Kd♥
me too
Great interview. Bummer to hear she’s done publicly singing (except to her dog), but I totally get it. Thanks for sharing that amazing gift with us for as long as you did kd! ❤
This conversation is really fascinating and effectively crossing platforms between professions, in a way that I have never seen. SO good, thank you.
I adore what she said about the flow! There is no doubt the Devine flows through her beautiful voice!❤️
Thanks for this! There is not enough kd in the world!
I have always admired kd because she is kind and a caring person. Her voice is unique and awesome. Wish I had been able to see her in person at Concert, but I was lucky I had videos to watch. Bless you kd!
Hey, I'm back in Texas too! Houston!
Hello KD Lang. Luv yah! Yurtha best!
I love this soul KD ❤️
This was 2020. Covid year. Would love to meet her
Phenomenal. That’s K D Lang.
Just stumbled onto this and have enjoyed it so much! It's great to see and hear kd. During this time of Covid, kd and Poldark have been my go to. For joy and laughter kd during the 80's, for relaxation, sleep and in the car kd from 90's until. As for Poldark, the Brits know how to do Historical Drama like no other. (I have to admit I'm not a big basketball fan except for the last 30 seconds of the game . Football is my weakness.) I did however enjoy you guys and a big thank you for inviting kd. She does know her basketball!
Seriously one of the best interviews/discussions ever. I could have listened to you guys chatting for hours. Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
KDLang fills me as no other does. She is just so real, so straight forward, so unapologetic, so full of fun and love... I could go on and on. KD you have lost tons of weight and are looking better than ever. All the best to you.
What a wonderful human. I hate that I never had the opportunity to see her in person IF I ever get the opportunity, it will be a dream of a lifetime. . What a great spirit she has. Her voice is "ONE OF A KIND".. I truly believe that she is NOT like 90% of the famous people of today, she is just down to earth and does not seem to have an opinion of herself that she is "Better" than any other human on this earth. JUST LOVE K.D what a beautiful soul.
Love kd lang I would love to meet her xxxxxxx
so would i iv only seen one concert and was in awe of KD
This video was about as chill as it gets. Everybody looks like they just woke up. lol Love it! What a kindred soul she is. Loved when he mentioned breaking into Patsy Cline on a plane. Now if kd lang did that, oh what a flight that would be.
I thought it was interesting when kd spoke about not feeling attractive, yet having to go out and “turn on” the audience. I have always found really talented singers to be attractive, no matter their physical appearance. Inner gifts and goodness shine through as beauty. In my book, she never lost any sexiness. (My 85 year old mom transitioned last November 2021. I recently looked at Audrey’s pictures on Instagram, she had that same sweet smile as my mom.✨.)
How wonderful to find this today. #42 Center. Love this convo! ❤
God bless KD Lang
she's the cutest!
It's such a shame that this amazing, talented person has to spend so much time talking about her sexuality. What a day it will be when people stop worrying about who other people love. K.D. is a gift to all of us.
It says a year ago wonder if this was 2022. The newest one i have found ...i love Katie I hate she had to work so hard in the music business to sing . country music owed her many apologies... come back and sing katie 2023.
I wish kd would record her music again I've been a great fan of hers since hearing constant craving on TV I still play her music 🎶 EVER DAY I have all her cds omg I love her
kd looks a lot like Zoe Wannamaker.
Love KD Lang. Was surprised to hear her deride being human when we are powerful spiritual beings and she emphasizes being spiritual. I also wonder how you’ll all react when you discover the game’s been rigged all this time, that players have been under a Satanic slavery system. But I think it’s all going to change for the better.
I think you need professional help and medication.
I have been a K.D. Lang's supporter since the 1980"s. I flew to another city, to see her in concert. I cry when listening to her music. Spiritual Basketball? BLM? Thirty years later, my Spiritual connect to K.D. Lang is DONE! Who is K.D. Lang now?????
Someone who has accomplished a hell of alot more than you ever will.
Shawna Gutierrez what ate u saying
kd - you can drive down to Salem and sing outside my house - or in my living room - any time you want to try the airplane thing on a very small scale! Great interview!!
