I just wish he would inject more humor into the speeches. It's fine if you want to go on a long schpeel about the industry or cycles but some jokes here and there would really kill the monotony. I think he might be trying to be humorous at times but he is the only one who gets the jokes.  |
I enjoy the introductions very much. The first time. The only thing I don't like about them is the fact that he gives the same one hundreds of times and then he likes to pretend as if he's searching for the next word. That's really annoying and even though I would never in a million years heckle him, you can't help but want to just finish his sentence (and a lot faster than he finishes them) after hearing one of the speeches over and over again.
However, when he says new stuff, like his intro to
Seeds We Sow, I was quite pleased to hear it and proud of the way he strung the sentiments from earlier speeches together. I was actually touched when he said that he can't think of anything he would change, even though I knew exactly how rehearsed it was and I realized that he's going to say this every night of his upcoming tour before 2011 ends and, by then, I will be quite weary.
