Malcom Guite Essay

Watching his videos relaxes me and helps me decompress.

Same here, they're wonderful

I know youtubers talking about pipes are somewhat... well whatever.

There is something about Malcolm Guite his storytelling and his accent that I like.

I also like listening to Per Georg Jensen, but I don't know enough to comment on his words. I just like listening to him.

Wasn't he a roadie in Jethro Tull?

 

[Papamique]

Isn’t he a reverend also?

I wasn't sure if I was looking at Santa, or Benny Hill's imitation of a Saint Nick.

I highly recommend buying the book of essays that features Reverend Dr. Malcom Guite's writing or buy book reports. His captivating literature readings are not only entertaining but also offer profound insights. Among the essays, there is one where he explores the topic of pipe smoking, which adds a unique flavor to his videos. For those who appreciate everyday things and enjoy enlightening reads, purchasing this book promises a delightful collection of diverse perspectives.

No one has the right to post lines from a copyrighted poem unless they own the copyright or have permission of the copyright holder. This isn’t me being cranky; it’s copyright law.

With the invention of World Wide Web and more so social media the copyright law has gotten questionable in many respects. I understand Mr. Bittners thoughts, I am earning my money by publishing text and photography in certain contexts too.

There are authors, artists, photographers, musicians etc, who want to get payed for publishing their work. And they’re right. Otherwise they couldn’t afford a living with what they’re doing.

On the other side there is the user, who wants to spread certain information in a way that suits our fast living times. And his attitude is that everything published in web is common property. In Europe they have been working on online copyright to strengthen the perspective of the content creators. A lot of contributions for example on You Tube had to be closed.

I would agree not to post things - exclusive contents - that are hidden behind a paywall. Not so when it comes to content, that is freely available all over.

In case of the poem I am glad to know now, what kind of poetry I don’t want to read. I didn’t like the sentimental approach of Malcolm G. very much.
