"All that changed when I got famous." -Robert Crumb on women.
Maiia: CRUMB (DVD available -Cairns library.) about cartoonist icon Robert Crumb A 1994 documentary film. (wikipedia) If ya look at the bio it misses out heaps of this fascinating true story.
Link to footage I don't work in terms of conscious messages, I can't do that. It has to be something I am revealing to myself while I'm doing it. Which is hard to explain. Which means that while I'm doing it I don't know exactly what it's about...
Crumb on 'culture': "It's pathetic, it's pitiful. The whole culture is one unified field of bought sold market researched everything -you know. It used to be that people fermented their own culture, you know it took hundreds of years, and evolved over time. That's gone in America. People now don't even have any concept that there ever was a culture outside of this thing that's created to make money.... you just get disgusted with humanity after awhile for not having more you know - intellectual curiosity about what's behind all this jive bullshit." 1994 documentary film by Terry Zwigoff director of various pieces including Bad Santa. former bandmate in Robert Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders. ( Bob Brozman) Crumb has appearances by Australian art critic Robert Hughes.
"When I listen to old music is one of the few times I actually have a kinda a love for humanity. You hear the best part of the soul of the common people, their way of expressing their connection to eternity or whatever ya wanna call it. Modernmusic doesn't have that calamitous loss, that... -people can't express themselves that way anymore,"
