What I would love to experience is to see Ren grow huge and AND his fans find a way to respect him and his privacy and be mad about him in nice non intrusive way. Imagine him walking through and having people a need to throw themselves at him rather than smiling and noding and appreciating his impact on the and others!

1:22:00 I love coming back to this interview two years later and hearing him talk about wanting to out stories out there, cause he’s doing it again, now, with Vincent’s Tales. Love watching this man be able to live his dreams despite the struggles

I had 2 weeks left in the army(lifetime ago!) Big function, at the bar the Regimental Sargent Major(god) noticed my mop of hair, the royal Stewart combat trousers didn't phase him… he said if I didn't liven up the empty dance floor he'd be shaving my head tomorrow!
I grabbed my best mate, acquired 2 handbags n we minced up to the dance floor and danced badly around the bags, the floor filled, I saved my mop…mirror neurons ??😂😂😂

You are so brave and strong for getting back out there following your dreams. I know what it is like living with a chronic illness that takes years to diagnose and the treatment comes with nasty side effects. Afraid to make plans because you don't know how you are going to be feeling from one minute to the next. It gets to be a small world. Thank goodness for the internet and access to people from everywhere. Love you Ren. ❤ keep creating beautiful insightful music. I will be listening and sending you hugs and love ❤️

01:35:00 I think REM put it best when they said „this next song belongs to you, we‘re happy to play it for you“ right before playing „Losing my Religion“ probably for the 10.000th time.

this guy reminds me of Jack White. The authenticity, the talent and the personality in his music, so eclectic and rich. I wish Ren the same success Jack has

I can't believe he's 33 here, he looks about 16, or maybe it's just me getting old. But I love Ren's music it's nothing like anything I've heard before or since. I hope his health problems are sorted out

I studied in China for 9 weeks and got mono that was weak which made it difficult to diagnosis. I was told it was in my head. I did my own research and saw several things that ended up with a diagnosis of lupus, which was incorrect. I thought I was dying to, and didn’t care . I still have flares which drove me nuts. I felt crazy and decided I would live not long.
I’d decided to kill myself and on the way out I was drawn to YouTube which had “Ours” with Jimmy Gnecco singing “Sometimes” and I changed my mind. Music saved me.
Hang in there. So many of us love you and that will help greatly. I’m sending you huge love.
I was in big pharma and you’re quite knowledgeable. I believe in you. It could have been that you were given a resistant drug. It is unusual to treat below the waist to have staph, below needs air to survive and . You likely needed an antibiotic that doesn’t need oxygen. That’s my two cents. I hope you’ll have a solution. Godspeed.

I really like Justins take on why people resonate with Ren's music so strongly. Especially for young men and boys he is the most amazing catalyst and inspiration in regards to openness, emotional depth, self-knowledge and how he deals with toxic masculinity.

I got a massive tick that didn't get noticed when I was 12. It ended up burrowing it's way into my shoulder and I had to get a massive chubk taken out of it with a scalpel.

Best way I've heard music theory described is that it's not rules, it's definitions. As in, it's not there to tell you what to do but rather to describe what you are doing. It is useful to know what is possible though.

As someone with M.E. I feel so understood as he explained it! I love REN his music and his storytelling are next level, loved getting to know him through this interview.

HI REN!! I am always blown away by your talent and artistry. I am also so grateful as a member of the invisible disabilities club for 30 years. Epstein Barr ME CFS Fibromyalgia multiple chemical sensitivities, suffering that is mostly impossible to relate for most. I am also a musician, vocalist (and 1/2 Welsh!), had a career ripped out from under me quite suddenly. Thank you for your bravery and
honesty. I hope you are with us for a looong time !! 💜💜💜💜
Thank you, Justin for this very valuable interview 🙏🏼

I believe it resonates with people because of his extreme honesty in a world of fake news ,lies and social media comments with opinions they would never express to your face

I can’t wait to see what Ren has to offer the world, in music, film…I truly believe there are no limits to his genius and talent.

Speaking of REN’s Moriarty…2 years later, enter Cujo, and Cujo’s Beatdown. REN’s genius shines through❣️

Ren..ik ill be lost in this but good god you are an inspiration. I relate on the deepest level. I won't bother you with my story but following yours has hugged my heart. Your music, or art rather, is enthralling..everything I listen to I hear something I didn't before and I appreciate it so much. Long story short, you're exceptional and im glad you are still here to share your gift with us.

Ren is without doubt a genius. We are so fortunate to have him in the world.
