I watched this when I was a kid, and now I see a biblical analogy: like John West endured the worst to bring you the best, as in the commercial, the analogy is *here comes* Jesus went through the worst, death on a cross to give us eternal life!!

Classic.

Commercial is good but sirena tuna is the best ..salmon i dont eat

Randy must be at platinum sales status by now i bet. 💪

I just met him today! What a nice guy! Selling his CD's. Wish I had cash as I wanted to buy one. Hope I see him again.

We used to have real sense of humor.

You don't get ads like that anymore 😂😂

What a GREAT ad! This was from back when corporations were just trying to sell you a good product. Now they are too busy prostrating their politics, and dictating what your morals should be.

I love the way 2 of the bears look around to see what the shouting is and then turn back like "What ever!"

Mr grizz

We were at Esso WestVan around 7:15pm and Randy was there, a very nice gentleman, it was a pleasure to meet a very nice artist, we bought his signed CD.

Just met him today didn't know who he was but he seems cool

Just bought 2 star bucks KS b walnut Grove

Just bought a signed copy from him today in Walnut Grove. He’s got his patter down- he’s a very fast talker😂 I appreciated his hustle and gave him $10…then realized I don’t have a cd player in my car 🤣

Gotta keep the comments coming... Randy got me at UBC with his CD... I said, "I can't even play a cd." He said, "You can listen to it at the library!" haha. He said he's going for a gold record. How could I say no? Looking at the comments this guy has been hustling like nobody else could.

Just got a copy of his CD, West Van, why not.

Wow recommended after 16 years. Very cool.

Almost exclusively only in the last sentence is this remarkable artist and woman given her due. Too bad the rest of it sounds more like a sneer. Clearly she was also beautiful when she was young, but even in modern descriptions the word "frumpy" seems to be ubiquitous, and said as if it's meaningful. I don't know when this video was made, but it gets really old, the micro- and not-so micro aggressions towards powerful women, from men and women alike. I did it myself when I was younger, until an older woman kindly pointed out what I was doing.

Randy is nothing more then a man, rocking, living and breathing the free world; out front of the chevron in West Vancouver. Out of the alleged thousands of copies he’s sold over the span of twenty seven years. Today, I somehow ended up with “today’s the original pressing, copies one and two” curtsy our local library. Randy’s spirit is contagious, he’s truly and simply, a man; a myth. There is no doubt in my mind, there are big things coming for him. One of these days..❤

saw him yesterday at West Van Esso. stilling selling his CD. God Bless this gentleman...

This guy sucks, I wonder if he hates all women, or just the ones that end up to be more successful than him 😬🤷‍♀️ It may take a while, but progress does happen. and French Modernism is not tacky or weird, it's art, which is by it's own nature, subjective. The fact that this guy decided to disrepect something he clearly knows so very little about is just sad for him.

Wow we need to hear more stories Of positive Black People Like this.Trini to d bone!!!!

He played this song on a bus to Abbotsford today..seems like a nice guy!

Saw him singing in the bus today… awesome voice and guitar skills👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

12 years later and Randy is still grinding! Chatted with him in horseshoe bay. Told him he needs to put his stuff online but I can tell he's a purist 😄

Just saw this guy at 7-eleven on Lonsdale ave 13th. I didn’t buy his cd, but I donate $20 instead. If you’re reading this, I hope I made your day good. :)

Saw Randy today at Lonsdale, took a picture of him and his CD. I believe he said he may be adding his songs online soon, wouldn't have been able to play his CD even if I had bought it. Easy going fella

If anyone can get me in contact with the artist id really appreciate it. I met him in park and Tilford

It's not quite Christmas unless I watch this video. Especially this year with Covid and having family in other parts of the world not able to travel. Kind of puts things into perspective. Lets go into 2021 with that fresh start and come out of this crazy year with a renewed optimism that things will get better. Wishing all a very special holiday season.

I'm discovering Emily Carr later in life. Her painting are amazing. She was way ahead of her time. Canada's Van Gogh.

chile

Just bought a cd off Randy in Horseshoe bay. Such a friendly, chill guy, we had a good chat and he told me how he has signed every last copy of his cd or tape he has ever sold or given away and he's hoping to get a guinness record. You rarely ever see someone still selling their 25 year old cd on the street like he does. I hope guinness records gives him his title.

Emily Carr was WAY before her time. She appreciated nature, indigenous culture, independent. And LOVED animals, she was my kind of woman. Thank you, Emily for being YOU in a Victorian world that thought you were a "misfit" - they were so wrong. You were perfect as you were!

Yo

An injustice to this great soul and artist.

Randy kinda looks like my dad, but in like the sexy way?

Hey buddy its ikilluloadss here it this you?

I meet him too. Bought a cd from him not knowing what to expect, just because he seemed like a cool dude. Had a little chat with him, and I only regret not getting more cd's to share with my friends

Bought a cd off the guy in horseshoe Bay, wish I coulda chatted longer but the ferries of course. So down to earth guy.

Masterpiece Music!

Love that he's still out there selling his signed CDs. My dad just found one he bought off this guy in the mid 90s- told him to take good care of it because he was the next big thing and it would be worth a fortune one day. Needless to say it was garbage, but it's still in our CD rack 20 years later for the value it adds to the story. Never know, he might be the next big thing...

Met this guy on W Hastings. Suggested him to go on Robson instead. He didn’t want free money, he really wanted to sell his CDs. I came back a little bit later when I grabbed cash but he was gone. Hopefully I’ll see him again.

Picked this cd up in a thrift shop in Madoc Ontario

Horseshoe Bay ,Pretty sure he made a fat stack there ,nice mellow tunes ,put them in my i-tunes library for those smoky sunday mornings

Just met this dude down on Denman street, he stole my $20 dollars after trying to get him to boot for me, and then proceeded to pull out a knife in an attempt to jump me... What the fuck.

preety boring

did a test on this

Heard him today, singing by English Bay. He's sounding better than ever! Amazing guitar playing as well and with a homemade pick!

He has no idea about Emily Carr's work

Blessings day and nice video. Like and sub from me. :-) Happy with them
