fame, intimacy, devotion to, and branching away from common texts, desire, the gaze (both given and returned), and live in the most real sense--the acapella of it. (there is also something in his humilty, the running commentary over the intro to the river, even in a culture that sort of requires this constant documentation of media sources, the slippage and the punctum is the awkwardness at the beginning, where one is not sure how to begin, the interpreting of the text becomes more impt then the creation of new texts or even annotations of old ones) (or how he puts qoutes around "biz" and "video world")

(he also cannot sing v. well, or at least, maybe used to studio mechanics to autotune, to the perfection of voices, the cracked and awkardness makes one think that singing becomes difficult) (its the why wont tom waites end up on american idol question) (not that this guy is tom waites)

(his version of hallejuah with the chorus being much closer to protestant praise songs, and the line "remember when i moved in you" rushed and the holy chorus extended...and he can sing.)
