You will have to read French. The videos, however, feature Wyatt answering the audience in English. The website posting the links is the best resource I know about Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine and progressive rock in general.
His theory of art and his views on the current crisis within the music industry are just right on spot. His explanation of jazz-rock (in his case bebop and rock) and is also a fantastic reading of his work. Finally, his character is refreshingly humble, good-tempered and glowingly happy.
Watch it just to feel better about ageing, humanity, life, politics, music and the rest.
