Whether singing sailor songs with his quartet, Forebitter; or environmental songs on board the Sloop Clearwater in the Hudson River; or in solo performances at coffeehouses throughout the Northeast United States and festivals in Europe, Geoff has entertained and touched audiences near and far.

Songs of the sea, songs of the earth, songs of the heart and the spirit—all of these are in Geoff Kaufman's ditty bag. Ancient ballads, work songs, and songs of love; poignant songs of people in struggle, humorous glimpses of human foibles, and insights into history—all of these are likely to be woven into one of Geoff's concerts.

Above all, at the core of Geoff's performance is his rich tenor voice and an exuberant love of singing. And part of that love is to entice audiences to sing along, to share in the exhilaration of full-throated vocalization if they wish. In this age of electronic overload and passive media pabulum, Geoff likes to stress the "live" in live performance, promoting participation, be it by voice or heart or mind.

@tezzmosis
Hi there
Thank you so much for being upfront about the sleazy truth of the industry.
It was shocking to watch, which means you've done a great job.
Would you consider a doc looking into which names are tied to NAMBLA the North American Man Boy Love Association ?
I've seen old photos of whole halls full of men attending meetings with their banner strung up so there's no doubt why they are there.
Many big names have been said to have been part of it and it sounds like the official name for the boy club they spoke of.
Hope you get to see this.
Thanks.

Thanks for making the vid, man. Charlie Sheen's life is the embodiment of a cautionary tale. From the outside, he seemed to have it all and his success from Two and a Half Men made many men yearn for his lifestyle; when in reality Charlie's life was spiraling out of control. It goes to show that you have to be careful who you admire and look up to because celebs, for better or worse, have ALOT of demons. For you to confirm his homosexual promiscuity confirms the notion that his ambiguous sex life is what led him to contact aids. I was surprised you didn't mention when he sought out the doctor in Mexico and obtain "medicine" to treat his aids and it was undetectable in his system. Regardless, he looks like life has hit him hard and while he claims it's undetectable in his system, he still is suffering from his choices. The saying is true more and more, it really is Pride before the fall.

@alphajava761

Olsen said he never told her, Kenly said he did. Sheen was infected when he was married to Richards. Richards, Mueller and 99% of others knew beforehand. Sheen did admit not telling some partners but said never he had unprotected sex. I've known people who are HIV positive, or have AIDS. It's nearly impossible to contract the virus with a condom. Yes he should have told all of his partners! No one was infected thank goodness, more evidence he wore a condom - he had sex with a lot of women. He said 99% of the time he would get blackmailed by telling someone first before anything happened and it cost him millions. I don't condone that behavior, not telling, and blackmail. I'm glad he lived long enough to straighten out. I like him as an actor. His lifestyle is not my thing and I don't hang with people like that. I'm 3rd generation Angeleno, I know this city and the people it attracts. These two gfs of Charlie's roll the dice in this city, it's not their first time being risky and I'm sure it won't be their last.

@curtisskarma6831

@tezzmosis I will concede that I couldn't watch the entire video. If you touched on it then I would say okay great but I think you glorified a known pedophile. You certainly didnt touch on it while covering the Lucas era or that timeline. I sure hope you covered these many allegations of child molestation of Corey Haim who is now deceased coincidentally from drug abuse his entire adult life. Clearly he was covering some type of severe pain. If you do not cover this I would seriously think about a part 2. No biggie if maybe you just wasnt aware. Just give all sides if you may not believe the accusations that has come from both Corey's. There was another clip that bothered me also. That was with Moon pie or pinky Brewster. Lol. Dont feel like googling. She was stating how she had such a crush and that she lost her virginity to that pedophile. How old was she? Borderline at best. I dont think she even realizes it today. He was much older and she was 16 or possibly 15. Idk.

Yes LOL, thank you Alexander! I cut out some little back and forth texting between him and Farrah Abrahms, but the situation was so insignificant, and she doesn't really need any more attention. She thrives on that shit. That's why he stopped talking to her, their convos were leaked, because she wanted attention for the fact she was talking to him...

Other than that though, was no stones left unturned! I have gotten a lot better at the research and cross referencing side of things, which makes it easier to have it all flow together chronologically than in my earlier videos in this series. So stay tuned, because I am all about detail. The more data we have to consider, the better we can understand these folks on a human level, which hopefully in turn, can help people better understand themselves, their friends, family.

Generational curses and childhood trauma can plague anyone, even the most rich and famous, and I think that's important for the average person to realize too. We all hurt sometimes, and that's okay. It's how we manage it that can be the issue.

Thanks again for your excellent comment, take it easy!

@jamespardee9300

I disagree. One thing not mentioned, for example, was the movie "Freejack'. Probably one of his best performances.
Also, even though it featured Mick Jagger in a cameo role, Sheen has said that due to scheduling concerns, that the two never worked together directly, and only met briefly.

I thought it was important to include this, not often you see grown men being so candid and open about their emotions. I think he honestly tried to love his own kids best he knew how, but there was obv a generational curse there, with the alcoholism..

Also sheds some light on why all his kids ended up in film, he was not encouraged as a youth, so he was extra supportive and encouraging to his kids to get into the industry. Just goes to show even the most rich and famous people can have a soft and humble side.

as a woman w a personality disorder it does really seem to differ across gender lines but sadly almost all pd's are virtually incurable and wreak havoc in your life. that's why while I am disgusted by everything Charlie and other celebs like him have done, especially as a woman, I deep down understand that they are sick, disturbed people who likely experienced trauma that broke them in the first place. I feel kind of similarly about Kanye West and Jim Carrey who have similar tendencies to Charlie- and all 3 have had some kind of existential breakdown and demonstrated abusive behavior.

Great Documentary, what I like about it (so far) i s the fact you spend time giving us an idea of how family dynamics can affect/influence a child, and I'm only 40 minutes into it!

@tezzmosis

2y↑1

Yes, I always like to dig into the early childhood stuff, because generally there's a lot there that helps round out the understanding of the person as a whole. Can see a lot of parallels between childhood experiences and trauma, and how they often lead to addiction and destructive behavior, (self and otherwise).

Being an actor, and part of an acting family that also had the generational curse of addiction, there was A LOT to discuss well and before he became Charlie Sheen.

Charlie Sheen is awesome. He made Two and a Half Men the funniest sitcom that ever was and ever will be! Charlie made us all laugh our asses off like no one else could do.....he was absolutely brilliant and was Charlie Harper. We all have good and bad in us, but I believe that Charlie is mostly a good person and I completely agree with most of his views. Keep on keepin' on Charlie Sheen. You the man! Besides, who wouldn't go a little nuts with millions to blow on anything and everything your heart desires. Mother Teresa might be the only exception to that rule.

It's a little weird to me that celebrities like Charlie Sheen can say or do whatever they want and people always forgive him. "Just Charlie being Charlie". I admit, I did the same, recognizing his out-of-control meltdown as a desperate cry for help. But why do we do this? We have a forgiving compassion for Charlie Sheen, but we ostracize someone like, say.........Andy Dick, for doing the EXACT. SAME. THING. Why????

Edit: Charlie and Brooke's kids were taken care of by Denise Richards while Brooke was in rehab. It was a pretty big story because of the unusual set-up. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Funny that he is suspected of sexual assault and rape of a 13 yr old boy but “he seems to have it together. Let’s hope so” but Lena Dunham was falsely accused for touching her sister inappropriately as a young child and is treated like she is a villain or monster. He’s shown no contrition. Ya. He seems like “winning” again. If Lena was a man, you’d probably show her the same support.

@belladonna131

I just started watching the very beginning. It's so heart breaking watching Martin Sheen get very upset over the non relationship he had with his father. It's so important for a son to have a strong connection with his father. My father treated me like the son he never had to a limit. I wished so many boys had the father I had. Daddy secretly took me a car race that he participated only we went to "wash" the car 😉. He took me camping, which I hated, too msny bugs, he took me fishing, I liked that, he wormed my hook and we let the fish go back in the water, I helped him work on our cars, bleeding calipers, looking at our V8 engines, changing oil, he took me to carnivals and my hot dog had to prepped just like daddy's with ketchup, pickles, mustard and onions at age 10. He taught me how to drive stick, so patient, and he had a talk with me about the birds and the bees. He found my prom date and I was voted in prom court. Did daddy have something to do with that? A son needs to have that kind of bonding with his father. It doesn't matter what you do, just spend time with your son. It means THAT much to them. BUT, I see it was the belief that his father had in his tenacity to become an actor that choked him up. I still think fathers should spend quality time with their children. Esp. boys. That whole family is full of handsomeness I swear.

@rustecohle591

2y↑76

On another note…if Charlie did allegedly do all of the things they accused him of… anyone else think he may have experienced something horrible as a child? Just a theory

@tezzmosis

2y↑43

Absolutely, he was exposed to a lot of adult situations as a child, it would come as no surprise to find he was abused in different ways.

@affernbrotgkg

2y↑33

Not necessarily... his brother Emilio has never been accused of anything like it and they were both in the movie industry from an early age on. And his father is an actor too, so he probably knew the inner workings of the business well enough to keep his children from harm. Of course anything and everything is possible but not all sexual predators have been molested themselves as children. I think the whole concept of reducing the blame from someone because he may have had it rough in life is highly questionable. I mean where would you start blaming? If someone is molested, his molester is not to blame because he was molested as well and so was HIS molester back in the day and the list could go on and on... people should be made responsible for their actions, that's all there is to it.

@Serenityblu23

@grenzdebilo lo from my understanding Martin sheen had a drinking problem and raised Charlie & emilo different. Charlie has a teen used his father's credit card for hookers. When his dad found out he laughed and said boys will be boys. Edit: I hadn't seen the video yet.

@Persephone715

2y↑7

@grenzdebilo lo in my humble opinion, it's not applicable to compare people. I see that all the time and my thoughts are, people are all different. No two people share the same coping mechanisms, nor body chemistry, etc. It's in my opinion only, similar to my professional in veterinarian field. No matter what I'm treating for. Illness or behavioral issues. I could have 5 dogs/cats, insert any animal, but no two will train, or recover the same way or rate. I'd like to move away from grouping things together and look at individuals. If memory serves, I think father and brother have also had issues in the past, although I could be mistaken.

You can really see the change in his looks between 2008 and 2010.

@tezzmosis Your hard work is so deeply appreciated!! Though I’ve personally “never” been into Charlie Sheen, and remember especially as a teenager hearing so many reports of Charlie Sheen and is eerie disturbed antics.😑😐😑 Just seemed to be one train wreck, after another, and the poor children caught in between a lot of this dysfunction and mayhem. Lot of enabling it seems also, that I guess allowed him to continue this reckless and crazed behavior. But you brought so much more facts and even more information in your deep dive biography. The part that had me also shaking my head, was people paying money to see him on stage ramble and rants crazily 🫤🤦🏾‍♂️ Then be upset leaving and complaining about how awful he is. It’s like you can’t make this crap up and people are so gullible in worshiping these celebrities forgetting that they are human not, Gods. Lastly I appreciated the dive into Martin Sheen’s past battles with his own addictions I certainly did not know of, I’ve always personally liked Martin Sheen and definitely as you already know. From your Drew Barrymore video love FireStarter which I thought Martin also was great in. He seems to also have tried to help and be there for his son Charlie. Whew Chile this deep dive, biography was one for the books, but I sadly really feel for the children it’s very sad and disturbing all that they could’ve witnessed and their dad constantly with porn star after pornstar just dysfunctional. 😑😐😑 Thank you again Tezzmosis dearie again for your hard work so sad again what has happened to the late, Corey Haim, and so many others. 💔

Thank you so much Marius!
Yes 100%, that's why I went more into his father's past as well, it obviously played a huge role in Charlie being so maladjusted as a human being. Not many people's lives are played out on the world's stage, but there are many themes of human struggle and poor conditioning from parents, the struggles with addiction and childhood trauma.

Money and fame clearly does not solve these deep seated issues. If anything, Charlie is the perfect example that. The more money and fame he acquired, the worse he got. Finding that having it all still left him feeling empty.

@lorimiller4301

@Lori Miller ive also heard that that draw, to fame or success or whatever accomplishment, out there, up ahead, keeps them striving, they think obtaining their goal will allow them to stop & savor the victory & when it doesn't do that, they are more confirmed than ever that they are flawed, broken damaged goods, that must be so, they reason, otherwise, why wouldn't they feel fulfilled, & that answer makes them feel even more miserable, hopeless & beyond healing than ever, desperate.
Edit ;ive kind of been there to a way lesser degree, but the addictions, when ur suicidally desperate, i think kept me alive, then, merci fully, something has to give guess i was ready to let it , the full weight, all come down, &am here for whatever while left to this life, like everyone else here... working out our karmas, but i do believe that if an addiction is faced down & made to back off, this is worth something very real, even if no-one sees or knows, there has always been someone with us, we are none of us ever alone.

Martin was unemployed for 2 years around L.A. in the 1970s. During that time his drinking buddy was a childhood neighbor of mine, painter Charlie Marvill. I once asked Charlie whether casting departments gave preference to homosexual actors. He thought carefully, to pick his words, then said, "No, but they are expected to do things that they would not ordinarily do, in order to further their careers."

@tezzmosis

Yes. "gay for pay" and hypersexualized, or playing the handicap role, AIDs roles. Almost all of the "greats" went through it in Charlie's generation. DiCaprio, Juliette Lewis, Sean Penn, Jodie Foster, Rob Lowe etc.
