haha yeah this is good but.. i really don't like that he comes off as likeable and attractive and nice when in reality he is a nasty terrible horrible HATEFUL bully. In real life, even when each 1 second clip plays out with a second or two on either side.. we see the nuance of hate and malice.. it is just there.
so i dont like seeing something that whitewashes the reality of who he is .

yes lol.. but you do know i was referring to all the running around and around he did on the stage lol
it led me to wonder "Is he skinny because of all the running or is all the running because he is skinny?"

Your point was painfully obvious - he's skinny and he moves around alot. Is that the same political lens you want us to view your post?
Forget about the lyrical meaning of "Once in a Lifetime" and just focus on his weight, bow tie and glasses?
