Austin City Limits Interview with Father John Misty

[@markdarnell614]

Some of my friends just don't understand why I love this guy, but really - it's simple; He's not totally a slave of the industry...he's extraordinarily Independent, both artistically, and Intellectually. I've seen interviews with other "Pop Stars", and with the exception of Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, and a handful of others - Josh Tillman comes off as someone who has really thought about things...Seriously, and is not afraid to throw it out there - even if it doesn't stick. Ironically - with his distain of the Evangelical Christianity he was raised in... He sometimes sounds like an Old Testament Prophet - in a Good way!

[@NolalanD]

I have to say the same. Plus he has that Noel Gallagher-like talent of taking a familiar melody or harmonic cadence as a starting point and totally making it something new and original.

[@Saintdream3]

I love this comment so much. The brilliant tortured drug abusers are always prophetic. I think the prophets were eating mushrooms & other psychedelic plants. Burning bush? Come on now

[@frankstared]

"We need a culture of substance to be there to inspire people." I am delighted and unsurprised to hear him say this. All artists, all intellectuals, all educators, all people must speak against oppression and truth to power otherwise...they are the problem.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

His comment "I'm terrible at being famous" is what makes him so good. He's not out for fame, he's there for the music, and I will take it any day. Kind of person I would actually enjoy having a beer with.

[@angellacanfora]

He's so eloquent and thoughtful, love listening to him sing or speak. Though I have to admit I was distracted by his green wrist. Copper will get ya every time.

[@Youcantleavethisempty01]

low volume, yo

[@Ptinski]

A man for his time, most definitely. No one I know uses the word "bandwidth" in a sentence. Also that constant facial touching is distracting and so is his voice - nothing like his singing voice. Nonetheless, FJM is more than uniquely qualified to stand at the top of the game in the industry; he's a gem and "I'm just dumb enough to try.." to critique him! Thank you Joshua. ♥

[@vantagestudios]

Hate how ACL interviewer tried to pull him into the usual leftist bullshit tropes but I love how he handled it. Graceful and intelligent.

[@evankupec8495]

Rediculously low volume

[@iangarrard390]

Pardon?

[@hobo_billypsychedelic5469]

We realy do live in a society

[@kateelizabeth4249]

I’d let this dude ruin my life he’s so beautiful lmao

[@BryanSalyersXD]

Kate, please explain yourself. You'd let him impregnate you? Hurt you physically? Why? What is the rationale to such a thing?

[@rockerocker4608]

@@BryanSalyersXD him being soooo pretty😍😍😍

[@riomabbayad6796]

Same

Flakka Jar Mastery is quite the prophetic cranium.

“Precocious Nanny”

[@eLStromy]

“I can't really do a great job of parsing what's going on in the culture unless I am singing." next line, in a professors voice "when we think about what's happening in the culture as..."

[@kat8763]

"I think that we really are in our lifetimes coming up on some new catastrophe where we're gonna need a new world view". Any one else see this man was prophesying over here?

[@sturdychinfilms]

The strings and the horns are the instruments that ask and answer questions, I feel, in the most human-like emotional preciseness. And it's usually same question and answer, "wait, what was that", the strings said and "FUCK OFF!" said the horns.

[@johnboleyjr.1698]

I just got to this ACL episode on my DVR, been behind on a number of things though, and this is my favourite episode by far. It was the most "punk" thing I've seen in a very long time.

[@yzachris]

love my Dad :)

[@Abrahamhamham]

Didn't know he had kids. Nice.

[@hospitalcleaner]

Abraham he doesn't

[@stefanopellegrini7094]

"...I'm a terrible famous person..." hahaha, yes you are Josh, but you're unique, and that's the point!

[@johnkenney5183]

I think it's fair to say we live in an era of outrage.. . .

[@stefanopellegrini7094]

You can tell the room was hot, Joshs forehead is melting!

[@Velvet0Starship2013]

...and so the quest for a not-awkward Misty interview continues...

[@mooknick242]

then it wouldn't be a true FJM interview.

[@cedarpark4052]

Thank you. But the interviewer is mean

[@leftforless911]

Daddy?

[@richardblock2458]

He's a lot more articulate in his songs- as he says - when you sing it, it makes sense.

[@kuro2797]

He's pretty articulate in real life as well. Should see other interviews where he's not sick. It's incredible to see someone describe their inner workings so precisely.

[@samcook363]

audio in this video sucks

[@Saintdream3]

This guy is always on LSD. Those pupils

[@Walter-fw8cc]

i think this was the period where he was microdosing daily so you might be right

[@Saintdream3]

@ I read that article! So fascinating! I couldn’t imagine microdoing it daily.

[@kaltasss]

bad voluuumee

Word of the Day: Banal

[@morgans4846]

What the fuck is he talking about?

[@MatauReviews]

which part?
