The boots are crazy. I'm sort of fond of his sad attempt at makeup. And the fact that he didn't take it off after his appearance and there's documentary footage of him wandering around backstage in jeans, a t-shirt, and blush.

I suspect I'll like the new album more than the last. The last one wasn't bad , but it was a bit on the glum side, understandably, and a tough listen. He's doing a free concert here in a few weeks--he's moved to Toronto!--but there are no reserved tickets and I suspect that the line up will be insane. I might give it a go, though.
