Ah, glasses, here's an ugly truth from an aging contact wearer--your wet parts stop being so as we age--means contacts (like mine) can turn into a right royal b....ad thang, so glasses are the default. I think he needs to have his face hidden, can't you just see him as a boy, lurking at the top of the stairs, just there observing like he's said. He also seems to have stripped himself down--all his totems (rings, wristies, beads) left behind. Oh, hat and raggedy boots--he is a traveling shrine that man is--drew on his temple and then proceeds to decorate (disguise). I think it's way more than shy don't y'all?
Somehow or the other I really think he has resolved the conflict with all of us being so keyed in on him--somehow in his mind he has made us all brothers and sisters, cousins whatever, family that's why he talks with fans on the carpet--that's why he attends so personally to individuals--family matters they are safe.
Like being at that whole boring pile of dog dol last night--I rather think not unless he's had a frontal lobotomy--it was a hideously boring endlessly the same as forever Boring Boring Boring show--the emcee was dense or vicious, just depends. I usually think him somewhat funny but I was obviously wrong. I would have faked a grand mal seizure to have gotten away from that scene. You can only look at dresses and jewels so long. He was patient and kind to be there. He loves us and understands more of the dance now. He clings to her--she is that power behind the throne doncha think?
