@jamesdavis18149 ай бұрын
@patriciajrs46 He isn't being rude, and if he is, he almost certainly isn't aware of it. In my opinion, I think Roger was autistic, and discussing something like personal feelings is probably quite difficult for him. Just normal conversation period, eye contact included. And if you watch hours of all his other videos, it is very apparent with the way he often faces away from who he is talking. His eyes are always moving around, vigilantly taking everything is. Autistic people are often cast as rude because they have deficit in social settings. Hence why he is always cracking jokes and drawing attention, including his own attention away from himself and how he is feelings onto the performance. Was Roger also taking amphetamine pills? Almost certainly, and as a person who likely suffered from exectutive dysfunctioning, we probably would not have had half of the songs he wrote. Not trying to be rude or get onto ya. I just wanted to help you understand what his internal experience my be like to help you in your judgment. Best to you!

There’s a whole spectrum of autism. My son has cerebral palsy and we adopted another on the spectrum. He may be higher than Hitlers gas bill but autism?? Are you thinking Asperger’s?? I don’t think so you have to be more specific.

This clip, obviously, can be appreciated and loved by the fans of all of those iconic figures. Charlie Louvin was a great singer and we all know the genius of Roger Miller and of course I like Ralph's 'style' if that's the word. Some didn't get a lot of his pseudo swagger and they actually took offense to it and felt his style was insulting but in truth he insisted on injecting realism into his conversations/interviews instead of focusing entirely on a recording artist's latest record or tour. In his interviews he'd always mention a tour or the artist's latest release near the end of interviews on purpose.

She eas Beegie Cusher for about 15 years before she married. I think Cusher was a performance name she adopted when she came to Nashville. When I see or hear Adair, I know who it is, but coming out of my mouth it's always Cusher. She was a talented session player too.
