My ears dont actually hurt. But my mind is definitely blown! In a good way. :D

Unorthodox, but rather cool.

This is "off topic" because it is actually good listening. But I think it is strange enough to keep the other entries on this thread company.

naturalplastic,

I saw him perform live in September 1981. He was wearing very Scottish attire, including kilt, and a wide grin--he knew he looked incongruous and apparently enjoyed it. It seems he had a good sense of humor.

naturalplastic,

My ears enjoyed that!
My eyes, however, did not--I don't know whether that was because I'm an Aspie or a human.

funeralxempire,
