I suspect that his life is full of people who just won’t tell him. Also, I think that guitar player is having a seizure from the knees down. Somebody should help him too. Or maybe just lower the microphone? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/aduLkLECjIY/maxresdefault.jpg "David Duchovny performing on billboard Live") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aduLkLECjIY) ---

I have no idea who the guy is, but boy, I have sure heard a lot worse than that. ---

You got his number, I will be glad to tell him. I got a few other points I need to discuss with him. ---

[He is touring Australia at the moment](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5431537/Actor-David-Duchovny-serenades-fan-cerebral-palsy.html) and while reading an interview with him I thought about going to one of his shows. However the interview contained a video of him performing and, since I couldn’t get through it, I gave the idea a miss. ---

Who is the spastic guitar player? I swear he looks and plays like my ex-BIL. Where does DD reside in the states? My BIL lives and works as a musician out of Austin Tx ---

However the interview contained a video of him performing and, since I couldn’t get through it, I gave the idea a miss. I heard him talking about it on NPR this morning, so I hit youtube. There is always the potential for it to be bad when famous people start a band, but I was not expecting that. It’s even worse than Billy Bob Thornton’s band. Although Duchovny did [give a far better interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJWS6qyy7bw&t=10s).
