Does anyone have a translation for the interview Django gave to a woman on the 1950-52 CD?

thanks

I could help. Is it this one?

He likes to paint scenes of the countryside, there is no relation between painting and music in his opinion. Not at all. No, not at all. He has been painting for about 4 years, mainly because his friends do it.

He really sounds bored through the interview like the questions are stupid (which they kind of are, but normally celebs elaborate).

Django was always very taciturn, not just in interviews. Stephane Grappelli claimed he would sometimes not speak for hours. Others have said he hardly spoke at all when he was with them, preferring just to play his guitar.

In all his interviews, he is almost embarrassingly monosyllabic. - Django's language was music.

Django didn't always understand the needs or wants of other people. Sometimes I wonder if he was slightly autistic, or had some other neuro-psychiatric disease/disorder. He was so very different, but the anecdotes of him are all the more interesting!

I think Django was absolutely a "normal genius", he was only a shy person

A true genius is by definition unlike the rest of us and there is no doubt that Django lived in his own world. He was truly eccentric and always did what he wanted to do rather than what would be the expected norm.

@kevingcox Thanks for your help with the translation!

I don't think Django was autistic but he may, in modern day parlance, have been high functioning aspergers. Here is one definition:-

Impaired social reactions are a key component of Asperger's syndrome. People who suffer from this condition find it difficult to develop meaningful relationships with their peers. They struggle to understand the subtleties of communicating through eye contact, body language, or facial expressions and seldom show affection towards others. They are often accused of being disrespectful and rude, since they find they can’t comprehend expectations of appropriate social behavior and are often unable to determine the feelings of those around them. People suffering from Asperger's syndrome can be said to lack both social and emotional reciprocity.

Although Asperger's syndrome is related to autism, people who suffer from this condition do not have other developmental delays. They have normal to above average intelligence and fail to meet the diagnostic criteria for any other pervasive developmental disorder. In fact, people with Asperger's syndrome often show intense focus, highly logical thinking, and exceptional abilities in math or science.

Substitute "music" for "maths or science" and there are some remarkable similarities.

As a diagnosed aspie, I have done a fair bit of research about the autism spectrum. There is a new theory gaining support that In short Aspergers/autism is caused by a deficiency in the neurochemical that damps emotional responses. When that deficiency impacts emotional from the brain stem (ancient brain) profound autism (withdrawl) is the minds response to being utterly overwhelmed by those feelings.

The spectrum can be anything from heightened emotions to intense feelings that are difficult to impossible to control and finally withdrawl from what is termed reality. Django certainly had a number of the attributes of an Aspie according to what I have read.

Very interesting. That theory could be right, Jazzaferri. A common thing in "aspies" is that they're introvert, which is partly caused by a higher amount of melatonin, and that they don't need as much "excitement" in their life, unlike extroverts who need a lot more excitement and interactions with other people to be satisfied in life. Also a neurochemical thing.

I'd say Django was somewhere in the middle, though. Sometimes he just wanted to be alone but he loved being famous and meeting others, and was used to having a huge family.
