Oh, ja. Also bist du also nicht verabschiedet? Nein, nein, aber wenn ich die Chords verabschiede oder eine schlechte Note drücke, dann ist das alles eine Interpretation. Das ist einer der Gründe, warum ich nicht Musiker geworden bin. Das ist die Fähigkeit. Ich bin gut bei dem, was ich tue, aber es ist limitiert.

Die Schüsse, die in der Musik passieren und was erwartet wird, um sie zu bezahlen, sind sehr spezifisch. Und die Industrie selbst wird dich einfach ausdrücken, um zu probieren. Wenn du das nicht machst, oder du nicht jemanden hast, der dich glaubt, und es ist alles ein Nummerspiel. Ich denke, mehr als im aktiven Sinne, im breiten Sinne, es ist mehr ein Nummerspiel.

Lack of opportunity. All day long. Right. All day long. And yeah, you get boxed in, literally. All day long with lack of opportunity. That's right.

WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
I can't explain it, but I just, you know, I chose to stay in the city and now I'm just in it and I just like the feeling. And I think sometimes that's enough. I think that that's what, I don't know about a vacation, but sometimes the experience of a place is just...
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
That, you know, you can sell out your genius, but like, you know, if you hear a thing in a certain way and you can't get around it and there's nothing else you want to do but commit to that, that's a rare person because they don't see another way out.

the phone or the computer that there is a global, if not nationwide, series of protests on April 5th. And look, I'll be honest with you, I don't go out to them a lot, but I think that we should, if anything, just to see like-minded people freaked out, angry, scared, and sort of raising their voices. I think it's important to do that. Whether it'll have an effect or not, I don't know.

And it's also about community. Yeah. And I was sort of like, oh my God, this is going to be great. And he took some chances with the nature of the magic of music.

Es ist sehr kontemporär.
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Ja, es ist sehr interessant. Es ist sehr kontemporär. Als ich in diese Konversation mit dir ging, war ich so, es gibt einiges von Pussy-Eaten-Talk in diesem Film.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo

God bless him. So, when you see this script, like, you know, because what was interesting to me, because I'm kind of a blues guy, despite, you know, I know it's kind of a traditional kind of white boomer thing to be, but when you have to take on that history...

But I think a lot of people are isolated in their despair. And it's good to go out and be part of an action. Just remember the margin of votes. that got us here.

Es ist leider nicht in der Karte. Aber das schlägt in die Abysse. Keine Frage. Ich habe etwas über den Film gemerkt. Am Anfang, als Preacher Boy in die Kirche kommt, nachdem er durch den großen Kampf durchgegangen ist, You know, and he hugs his dad. There are those flashes of his dad being a demon. And the thing is, is that what that implies is that it's within all of us.

Oh, in the moment, right? Yeah, yeah. Got you, got you, got you. Yeah. Well, I mean, but it's interesting when you're talking about souls and, you know, that the approach was not a, you know, a sell your soul kind of thing. Right.

But it is a little difficult in a kind of leadership vacuum to figure out how to find any sort of hope or way through. But I think that to go out and be part of the protest is the way to go. And also, I guess this will be a test of the waters to see what this administration is willing to do when people gather, rightfully so, with their constitutional right to do that.

WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
That's right. I mean, I used to do a joke about that. When you get to a certain age and you want to see a therapist because you're at that precipice. And you walk in and you know why you're there at a certain age. I used to say, look, there's a lot of things we're just not going to unfuck. You would say that at the top? Well, this is a joke. Oh, oh, oh.

WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Dann war es so, als ob ich immer eine Eröffnung mache. Was meinst du, wie eine Eröffnungsmonolog? Ja, aber es ist nicht immer lustig. Es ist ich, die mein Leben lebt. Okay. And then we do an interview and then we do a third act, which was a guy who, you know, was usually an improv actor playing it real. So people listen and didn't know if it was real or not. Right.
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
And then eventually it just evolved into a long form interview show. And the idea of it. Die Art und Weise, wie ich es charakterisiere, ist, dass es für eine Weile nur meine Kollegen in meiner Komödie war. Es war also wirklich ich, die berühmten Leute zu haben, um über mich zu sprechen. Andere Comics. Ja, andere Comics. Oder um die Probleme zu lösen, die ich in meinem Gehirn hatte.

WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Well, I think what I'm talking about is that, you know, for me, and I don't know precisely how you were brought up, but there is something about me that I always feel a little outside. Me too.

WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Ja, aber ich stimme dazu. Es gibt kein Handbuch. Aber der Kampf ist, wie du es gerade über deinen Sohn gesagt hast, dass du an einem Punkt merkst, dass du dem Kind den Raum und den Unterstützung geben musst, um einen Sinn des Selbst zu entwickeln, der ihn durch das Leben bringen wird.

Well, I'm projecting my viewpoint on trying to put together a sense of self over a certain amount of time. And all you can do is you do some reading, you do some thinking, you find explanations that jive with your particular problem and you take what you can from that and then you look for another fucking book. And then you walk out the door and you live your life.
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

And, you know, look, whatever. It's one of the few things I can do in terms of luxury. But we were on Southwest, me and Makowski, Und, weißt du, ich gehe viel durch, um auf dem Boden zu kommen. Da ist viel Angst drin. Aber wir sind in die Luft gekommen und, weißt du, da war etwas auf dem Flugzeug. Ich war einfach da sitzen.

Hey Folks, on Thursday I talked to Lynn Margulies, the girlfriend of Andy Kaufman. There's a new documentary about Andy called Thank You Very Much that's out now and it's amazing. And if you want to hear some Andy stories before that, you can check out the episode I did with Laurie Anderson from two years ago, which had some surprising Andy connections.

Was it like Pips or something? It probably didn't even have a name. It probably had a name, but it was in Queens? It wasn't even a comedy club. It was just a club.

Ich versuche, in der Front zu sitzen, wenn ich kann, nur für das Fußraum im Südwesten. Und du kannst überall sitzen. Ich versuche, zumindest das zu bekommen. Und ich war vorne und es gab etwas, ich weiß nicht, es gab etwas Verwirrung. Weißt du, es gab einen Flugzeuganwalt, der war kinder großartig und kinder schattig und kinder ein echter Charakter. Und ich bin so, was geht da hinten?

Und das ist eine Stunde vor dem Flug, Mann. Und sie hat gesagt, wir haben zwei medizinische Erkrankungen. Ich bin so, was? Zwei medizinische? Wir haben nicht mal eine Stunde in der Luft gewesen. Und dann hat sie gesagt, ja, aber wir haben fünf Ärzte auf dem Flug. Holy fuck, what are the odds of that? Five doctors on a Southwest flight, on any flight? That's fucking crazy.

So these people, the two people that were having trouble, I guess one of them passed out and one had a seizure, got the best medical attention that you can get in this country today. I mean, you've got to wait weeks, maybe months to see a doctor. And these people had events on an airplane and there were five doctors attending. zu dem Punkt, wo sie sich konsultieren können.

Ich meine, es war, es war ein bisschen erstaunlich, dass, du weißt, Gesundheitsschutz in diesem Land ist sicherlich nicht gut und abhängig von deinem Plan, literally Monate, um einen Arzt zu sehen.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Aber diese Leute, wer diese Leute waren, die diese Probleme hatten, und ich glaube, sie sind beide okay, haben die, literally die beste medizinische Aufmerksamkeit, die sie in diesem Land heute auf einem Southwest-Flight bekommen können. To the point where I was like, well, what are we doing? Are we going to go to Chicago or do we got to land?
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
And she's like, well, the doctors have consulted and they've told the pilot that he can continue on to Chicago. So they had a little confab back there and shared opinions and made a group decision that we were okay to keep flying and that these people were going to be okay.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
And then the flight attendant told me that it's going to be a little longer because we had to change our route in case we had to land in Omaha or wherever. But also we had to fly at a different altitude so the air in the cabin would be less pressurized and easier for the people that were having trouble to breathe. So a lot of stuff going on in this plane, man.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
And I was just kind of amazed at the fortuitous event of five doctors on a plane. I do believe that everybody was okay. Yeah, it's been kind of interesting these last couple of days. You know, I'm talking about what I can in relatively broad ways on stage about this condition we're all living in or what's hanging over us and what's happening. Because if I'm going to record it, it's got to hold.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
So in terms of being specific about events, I'm kind of doing broad strokes that are certainly critical of what's happening.
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
governmentally but also critical of like for instance what's happening I'm always sort of on top of this idea of certain people who have built this their entire point of view on their fight for free speech and making it seem like a first amendment issue when really it was just a kind of cultural issue around getting pushback for saying outdated words that marginalized marginalized people even more

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
But it's interesting, these free speech warriors, and this is brought to my attention, Patton Oswalt sent me a video of a guy, I don't know who it was, but sometimes you get these videos and you're like, well, that sort of puts it into words. You're not hearing much from these guys now when students are being... You know, disappeared off college campuses in this country.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
And, you know, some states are outlawing rainbow flags that there's no champions of free speech around what's really happening on a constitutional level, not just their desire to be able to say naughty words because it makes them feel better to be sort of bullies under the guise of, you know, can't you people take a joke? You sad people. And that stuff has an effect.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
You know, it's just like people are just afraid to talk because they don't want to deal with it. And it's interesting when the bullies and sociopaths are emboldened, you do have a sense of real fear out there in the world, you know? Again, this is a pretty heavy Monday morning and I apologize. But I do want to thank the people that came out in Skokie and Joliet.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
I thought Joliet was very special in a very haunted way. And I won't forget it. How's that? Look, you guys, so Delroy Lindo is here and his new movie is Sinners, which is in theaters including IMAX on April 18th. And this is me talking to Delroy Lindo.

Welche Musik spielst du? Ich habe mich in einem Basic-Panatonic-Blues-Country-Trip befasst. Ich habe ein bisschen gestern Abend gespielt. Ich habe immer gesagt, dass ich es als Hobby behalte, damit all meine Gitarren keine gebrochenen Traumwesen repräsentieren. But if you could have made it, you would have? I don't know that I had the courage to. I find singing very vulnerable for me. Oh, yeah.
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Yeah, and I'm a comic, so all my tools are sort of keeping pain down. There are people who would say that. Yeah. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Like when you sing, you're gonna be all out there. You're gonna be out there.

Episode 1630 - Delroy Lindo
Sure, yeah. I don't seem to know how to do anything any other way. That's fair, man. So, I've learned to sing in public, but it was a big... It was a big deal. Yeah, I've been playing guitar my whole life and then recently I got together with some guys and we do music nights and I do covers and, you know, I feel that...

Ich habe mein ganzes Leben mit Stand-Up gemacht, also habe ich keine Angst, wenn ich auf der Bühne bin. Und wenn ich da bin, weiß ich, dass ich mich selbst behandeln kann, egal was. Aber mit Musik, weißt du, bist du verabschiedet von dieser Song. Und wenn du dich in dieser Song verabschiedest, musst du weitergehen oder anfangen.
