It is a brilliant speech.

Thanks for sharing this! What an awesome speech! Love Neil Gaiman, he is one of our favourite writers of all time. He is incredible. Can't wait for his new novel next year! YAY!
ReplyDeleteThat's the first time I've heard Amanda Fucking Palmer. She is cool! Going to read more about her, listen to more songs.
Another Cool Fact: He is also very good friends with one of my (Amos) favourite singer/songwriters; Tori Amos, and godfather to her daughter. They both often reference one another in their works :-)
Thanks again, Think, for posting these awesome videos! xxx
Wow! I knew he was friends with Tori Amos, I didn't know he was the godfather! LoL.
DeleteIf you want to check out more of Amanda Palmer's music, here is a link where some of the music is free or cost like $1.00. I am so glad you like her!!
Thanks for commenting! You guys rock.
I love his voice and that was a great speech "make good art".
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact( or maybe one something you already know)
Because a lot of people " the detractors" we're hating om George R.R Martin because he was late on delivering his a Dance with Dragons book, Neil Gaiman can be quoted to have said (in defense) "George R.R Martin is not your bitch".
I might not be familiar with Mr Gaiman's books, but I do know he has a wonderful voice and is an amazing person and author.
LMAO. Thanks for telling me that because I had no idea! That is so funny and sounds just like something Neil Gaiman would say. You should at least read Stardust. It is my favorite of his.
