Blaze Foley 3 Songs Live (circa 1986) 

He was one of the best, but unfortunately, he was his own worst enemy.

@@cheapmusicgear I’d say his worst enemy was probably the guy who shot killed him, but what do I know? This tired aphorism is a perfect example of the kind of hyper-individualist, narcissistic hegemony that makes people like Blaze Foley have a hard time getting by in this ridiculous society. If you don’t have anything good to say, just shut up.

@@jayzbreemoI think I had something very nice to say by referring to him as one of the best…the man clearly struggled.

Ever see Bob Dylan live?🫤

@@jayzbreemoi hope this is a joke

It’s soulful music and that’s for sure. I feel the same. Im sorry to read that you feel your life is pitiful and screwed up - you wrote that 3 years ago- I hope things are looking up and that you feel better now. I’ve been in that same place a few times too. Hang in there brother, you are not alone.

It's how well you walk through the fire.

I actually prefer both :)

Townes is a legend, but he took advantage of Blaze.

​@@skywalkeronthesun can you elaborate? I'm a massive Townes fan and shamefully just started listening to Blaze who I find absolutely amazing and very similar to Townes musically

My thaughts exactly..

YES!!

Blaze van vliet has a kinda ring to it 😂 I thought the same

Amen to that 🙏🏻

Haha! So don’t tell me shit if you don’t like what’s going on in politics then. It’s a positive feedback loop of the disgruntled voter and dysfunctional government. Just go and get off your lazy ass for an hour and do your civic duty. There’s a huge difference between trump and Biden, if you can’t see that you’re not paying attention.

@@GandalfsPipe Yeah. I think there's more than one way to take that imperative, though. I was already going to vote. I always vote. I need to know what else to do.

@wobblyboost it’s about ideas not labels. All I see in your post deals with labels, anger and focusing on the prez. I’m sorry you don’t understand how powerful the idea of justice was for MLK to give his life for so millions of blacks could vote. I’m sorry you don’t understand why it was so important to give women the right to vote, something that blossomed an equalizing of the sexes in the laws of the land. I’m sorry you don’t understand why it was so important to Lincoln that blacks became free voting citizens, something that was cut short with a bullet from someone who was afraid of these voters. Because it seems according to your argument, none of this matters. The power of black and female votes is none existent. MLK and Lincoln died for a pipe dream of change. Get out of here.

@wobblyboost the spells that have been casted over everyone are deep. Keep spreading the TRUTH!..

wow that was beautiful, thanks for sharing!

@@evanlanam2993 Thank you , and you're very welcome Evan

I would have liked to have been friends with him. Souñds like he was a good man.

@@marise.gradinbennett3180 , Yeah he was good guy ..crazy sometimes , but still a sweet guy..lol

That’s amazing! What are some good documentaries about him? I’d love to see anything that tells his story. He’s a real American poet.

Absolute class man

You should have gone to the Austin Outhouse.

Good song sad song

hes not a drunken angel azzwhole.... hes the Duct Tape Messiah!!

@@urabampot I think that’s a reference to the Lucinda Williams song “Drunken Angel,” which I think is about BLAZE.

@@ProbableCauseBluesBand what an album that is

yeah, he's bitchin'.

Ah...me too! Just wow.

Blaze will live from now forward, that guy, not so much..

@@robertmiller4993 Good Morning to you. Thank you. I did not expect a reply as the post was put up 5 years ago. There was just something about him and his music that struck a chord with me so I tried to find out who he was. I am over 70 and still find treasure. Best wishes to you.

@@chrisallen7068I’m in my 20s and similarly will not let blaze die 🙏

Yes very tru i felt the same this guy was such a talent. What flag is that its south amercian right

Not just America but all the world leaders who are on a power trip. All the things he says about the USA leaders is the same for people like Putin too. They just make absolute carnage for normal people. I've been thinking about Blaze Foley's music a lot over this war in Ukraine.

Nothing new under the sun

@@bambinogatto9969 These leaders (ours and theirs) ultimately want to conquer. They want their legacy to be that of a conqueror. No matter how many dead bodies it takes.

It ain’t,never gonna stop.

Isn't it funny how all the true "artists" do that?

that's because none of them/us, not that I would put myself into a category with ANYONE, but all of them, more or less, ACTUALLY LIVED LIFE!!!!! Only a "Oval Room" kind of person would make a statement like that. Sorry

@@mis-ter-bis-kits8428 That's a fairly ridiculous statement that I can't even answer. You must be drunk (or incredibly stupid) to say something as nonsensical as that. Sorry.

@@bezzarguy Maybe, just maybe you'll understand. eventually. I hope anyway. I can't do it for you. and if you can't pull your head out of your ass, I'll be praying for you.

@@bezzarguy ok, without me making you look like a complete imbecile, why would you say he "sabotaged" his career? Maybe some honest, talented musicians don't even want a "career" and all the crap that comes along with it. Have you ever thought of that? or are you just so enamored by the fake ass "dollar" that you can't see past it? So if you're not doing it for the money you must be sabotaging your career. well Mr. G, you my friend are part of the problem. Not the solution.

The movie did him justice too.

It doesn’t change much because it’s very specifically designed to do what it does.which is keep us here and them where they are.

Very well said - especially these days. I try to spread the word of Blaze everywhere I can, too.

I think Foley is the father of singer "The White Buffalo!" ..Same cadence, same look, same eyes! LOOK!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W-vzuRz5AJY.html

@@KittyKittyBoomBoom Wow..

@@dontmesafrusciante There are two movies about Blaze - the first is 'The Duct Tape Messiah' - available on Amazon = the other one is "Blaze,' recently released. based on Sybil Rosen's book "Living In The Woods In A Tree"

Would you know how I view the movie Blaze in the UK ? Thanks : )

music for the heart & soul to help left the human spirit

@@mikaltrevino7301 so true. The beauty of art and music and it’s power to cleanse the soul and make you feel new.

Try John Prine.

ah shuddap... yer sloshed ya brain washed twit

Umbrella he is blazin

You are a lucky man.

I miss the good old days in Austin Texas I'm starting to feel like a transplant here with my Texas accent

Wow!

Wow indeed. Love this guy.

My dad and mom hung around with that same crowd back in austin during the 80's him and townz van Zandt

Definately. I was so glad we got our son to see John live in Beaverdam a little before John passed. Foley, just wow. Such a sad loss to the world, too....

I am also very confused

Adam West yeah me too.

Same, this guys is the real deal.

Me to

Shame cause Blaze is looking sharp in this one!

Stay away from the tree with the funny leafs..

Honestly I have no idea what u mean

couldn't agree with you more

well, some cigarette butts are better than others.

@@storagepalace apparently so according to Blaze.

Ones that have never been wet

Thats a load of horseshit. He wore that hat for years. There's lots of footage of him wearing it when he was younger and the hat newer.

REALLY¡¿! I'm going to make up for lost time 😜

I'm adding this to my book of wisdom. Thank you :)

I agree, he is a genius

@Michael H. Exactly, Townes and Blaze are two minds, two hearts and two souls that we lost way too soon!

Is bizarre

It sure sounds bizarre.

Heard him mentor Casper Weinberger, Reagan's sec. of defense.

worst video... Blaze would NOT approve

@@urabampotwhy

Thanks I was wondering what he meant there..

Poignant and hilarious😂

Get fkn real culty
