i don’t even want to know anything about him or read his wikipedia page (though i likely will) – because knowing ANYTHING factual about him will sabotage every single tantalizing nightmare parading through my head. and the nightmares in my head are all doing drugs together and then linking arms and singing his song.
so the clip starts off with a seemingly-helpless mutant in a canary yellow shirt. benevolent enough, EVEN as he is preaching fairytales as ultimate gospel. whatever: at least at the beginning, he is pitiable and ignorable.
and then, 1:08. oh, 1:08.
where does this voice come from? has he eaten a devout christian child? does he laugh in the face of schizophrenia? does he, in any way, think that this performance is entertaining OR sane?
how bad do you feel for the shmucks in the front row, or any row for that matter, who are likely chained to their chairs in order to imply that people agree with this form of manchild entertainment? personally, i feel pretty bad for them. i know this doesn’t go against the geneva conventions, but it’s a specific form of torture that is likely more lasting.
ok, fine – i just googled him and it turns out that richard dawkins has written about him. now i know for sure that rich and i are platonic soulmates.
i guess he also has an album out purely in this child voice and one of the tracks is the voice of an unborn baby begging its mother not to abort it.
it’s way too early (and probably always will be) to find that clip right now, yet i will always wonder about it. i feel like this video of him is like the video in that scary movie the ring – i have passed it onto you to haunt you and now hopefully i can become clean again. enjoy.
