Yes, and Jeff's voice was similar. It's a shame they were estranged, Tim having "split" (Jeff's words) when Jeff was a baby, resulting in Jeff not knowing Tim as his father.

Hey man, I think a lot about the toasters, dig. I mean, the man gets some money, and buys some bread. At the same time, he uses the money to buy a toaster, dig. But the man is power crazed, and he starts looking at the toaster. Before long, he gets to toasting the bread. He's stuffing innocent bread into this toaster, which is like an electrical death machine, man. He's like a Nazi, sending bread to its death. It's like a bread genocide, ya dig.

I gotta say he had a very modern perspective on world issues, and it breathes volumes into the situations of today. He had a strong voice on multiple fronts.

So great to see this interview. I was there. His insights, his brilliance, his mental associations were incredible. He amazed me every time out. This interview was/is a superb example. Thanks for posting.

I am glad he kept talking

It was '71 and I was managing a band that shared the same rehearsal studio in Venice, Ca as Tim did. That's where were met. The hall was near the water and you could sit one the roof, overlooking the waves and smoke joints and talk. We did just that when my group was rehearsing. Tim was a tortured soul, a musical genius and very charismatic person with a great sense of humor...but sarcastic. We lost him far to soon..he was just breaking out. Just like Jeff, they were both lost tragically.

Such a great musician and a great interviewer. Rest in peace Tim Buckley. 1947-1975.

I love how incoherent his rambling is, but poignant at the same time. he's like a stereotypical hippie. and yet he's just pure awesome.

Wow... This is almost 50 years ago and the things he speaks of coukd be TODAY. We are stuck in a machine

MAN ALL THESE CATS ARE GETTING BREAD FOR NOTHIN, YA DIGG?

Yo this hip cat's got me jivin, ya dig?

Go on Tim lad, lovely attitude my brother. RIP - your music fills me with joy in a dark world, Alhamdulillah

Tim Buckley....made some amazing music, had some amazing viewpoints on the issues, and made an amazing son Jeff, who did great things, with a great and emotional voice, and died young....is that OK? with all of you? Great artists and visionaries died, when they sholdn't have....we need to leave our mourning aside and celebrate them as the great poets they succeeded in being.

LOVE you,Tim.R.I.P brother.

Am I wrong, but is this 40 year old interview more open and more daring than any interview than one today.

He seemed to be a person who wasnt born yet. Born int the 90ths not in the 40ths comparing, clothes and speeaking to the others in this video.

It's Crazy how ahead of his time Tim was Mentally... He is so much like Jeff but almost like the Dark side... Jeffs Musical Gift and General Kindness made him a True Shining Light.

Dad of my hero singer/songwriter Just another genius...

This interview shows that he was a very smart and insightful person in addition to being a superb musician. He's basically talking about mind control through religion, censorship, government, materialism, the electronic media and corporations. He then addresses the spirtual "inner" world being more real than the outside physical world that we get caught up in. Way ahead of his time he was. A lot of what he says jives with the current New Age/Ufology/Conspiracy Theory network.

Your vernacular brings me right back to the late 60’s -70’s !

Tim speaks the truth what a smart man we serve people we serve life. Caring is important. What a smart guy what I'm hearing I wish people were more like this about politics.

"You don't serve your countrymen, you serve life, you serve people, whatever you personally can give to people, not a country that's secondary." That's such a smart quote because everyone has something different to give or offer. Some people are in situations where they can't give something, whether it's love, money, support, etc. because they're trapped or others prevent them from giving. I really believe most people want to give. Yet the world is full of poverty. The 1% rich stop love.

I see nothing stupid about Tim's comments here,quite the opposite.Here's a genuine artist speaking in semi-hippie speak truths that still resound today,whatever the vernacular.Love Tim.

I wish we still had things like this today on TV

Tim's reflections are more rational than Jeff's. Jeff was complex but more criptical and casual than his father. Two smart minds, anyway.

reading back on a few pages of these comments its remarkable to find how someone who was trying to espouse a loving spiritual approach to life could stir up such anger and rancour.Its very rare for an artist (or anyone else for that matter) to be truly understood and rarer still for an artist to actually live up to the ideas they champion.And why should they be any better than anyone else just because they can conceive of a better way.Thought his singing was lovely and some songs were strong

I love that people are passing on Joseph Heller in this interview, the writer of Catch-22.

Tim's right about TV and the world.

Wisdom from a man who ditched his wife and firstborn....

It's the speaking voice for me. I just came off a Jeff Buckley interview k-hole and watched every bit of footage available. It's very eerie. They sound the fucking same. People tend to pick up the mannerisms and general speaking patterns of people they're around but Jeff and Tim did not know each other. It's 100% genetics and it's freaky. I know we inherent a lot from our parents but this demonstrates it in a way I've never seen. Very soft, bell-like angelic voices with such warm tones. It's a unique sound. Jeff came off as being much more open to experience and sincere. Perceptive, pure, and kind. Vulnerable. I can't say enough good about Jeff's apparent demeanor. Some people communicate with their entire being and they're so charismatic naturally. Like the sun. It warms everyone around them. And they don't even have to try. You just want to be near them. Doing anything. Or doing nothing at all. Jeff was that way and it showed. That's the stark difference I pick up on between the two as it relates to interviews and interacting with others. I think Tim comes off as being rather patronizing to be honest. Bullheaded and stubborn. The first few seconds demonstrate the similarities the best. Tim's tone gets harsher as this video goes on. I pick up a lot of smugness, especially in the exchange with the guy in the glasses. But in general the sound and manner of speaking is nearly identical between this "father" and son.

In Truth, we are all the same when we speak, Truth. The spirit, does not lie. Both Tim and Jeff were honest spirits whilst on Te(lie)vision being questioned by “authority figures” who tried conversing with them by using ‘small talk’ or asking questions on topics that would box them in, thereby making the public view them a certain way- which was usually 9/10 negatively. It’s spirit. It’s Truth. Continue to speak yours. Remember, we are all-stars. Not allstars, ALL of US are STARS. We are all SUNS. We are all SONS of The One. You Shine your Light by expressing Inner Self, outwardly.

​@@AtinyElring I agree with your premise, generally speaking. Still, I feel relatively comfortable making my original claim even if it's based off just this interview. Everyone has bad days and sometimes that means we must follow through with a previously made obligation even if we're in a bad mood. To me, this interaction demonstrates behavior that I think reveals a lot about Tim's fragile ego and the extent he'll go to maintain the appearance of moral high ground for himself. When that's challenged you can him begin to spiral. That's when the defense mechanisms are enacted and he doubles-down. In Tim Buckley, I read narcassistic tendencies that I've never seen in Jeff.

I love Tim Buckley after this because he is right and this was 40 years ago -- reality is inside us, not the superficial but impressive or unimpressive trappings. How happy Jeff Buckley would have been if he found more time for him -- and, well - what's over is over.

Jeff was in a totally different era, man. ANd yet there are so many similarities in the 'cool cat', yet eloquent, way they both speak and gesticulate. There are even comparable similarities in their intellegent, slightly scatterbrained, humaitarian point of views- it's crazy to think that they did not know each other..

It is weird.....how much tim sounds like Jeff.....sometimes I think Jeff died to be back with his father and be happy

Tim made some very valid points. It isn't about serving the system, government, or anything else...people are definitely what matter, regardless of the boundaries we place on each other. If everyone had that mindset, the world would be a better place. Organized religion has done a lot more bad than good it seems. Individual spirituality is much more important than a organization that proclaims God, while it begs for money and argues amongst themselves as to who is organizing the potlucks.

Nothing he said was overly difficult to understand.
