Russell Brand - the 'movement'

Saw Russell Brand over the weekend at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles... what a magnificent creature! Seeing him on television or hearing him on radio is wonderful enough, but seeing him in the flesh is even more so!! He is a fascinating, hilariously entertaining creature. He has this unique contradictory nature in which he appears very silly yet he projects serious undertones and intentions. And even though he has a somewhat chequered past, ie. drug addiction, sex addiction, he is in my mind, a man of morals! He is extremely respectful towards women, lavishing sweet hugs and kisses on his female fans after his shows. And even though his somewhat sordid past due to "youthful folly, jubilance and hijinx! as he so delightfully recited on the David Letterman show visit in May of this year... apparently prevented him from coming through to America a couple weeks earlier than that show. He entertainingly tells about it on the show which I will include here for your enjoyment... he is extremely intelligent and witty, a modern day Oscar Wilde of sorts, spouting words like a fountain and jumping around the stage like a schoolboy... or a young lion... you must see him! Here is the excerpt from the David Letterman show from May 15.



Not only witty and funny, but very intelligent and humanitarian as well as you can see here as Russell goes to Oxford University to spread the message of universal truth when it comes to racism. A racist group called the BNP was due to visit Oxford just the day before and Russell was there to help promote truth and beauty in only the way he could do it!
