What’s up with Lou’s Look in this poetry reading? And what’s going through the mind of the woman up front, in the bottom left corner of the screen when the camera is looking out into the audience? Other than the thoughtful hand placed at chin with forefinger pointed over the lips, what are the appropriate options for facial reactions by audience members while taking in a rocker’s poetry reading?
If you can look past Lou’s vest – which appears to be made entirely out of strips of microwave bacon – I think you’ll see that he’s wearing parts of an Alex DeLarge costume.
Appropriate, because I think I’d need to be restrained in a chair with my eyes wired open to sit through something like this.
I enjoyed the moment when Lou announces it’s an excerpt from his “Raven” project, and *clearly* waits for the audience to burst into applause. Which they don’t.
That hat is … something.
Note to self: Don’t wear leather pants when you’re in your 60s.
The most jarring line in that poem was “thank you”.
