    how does he just keep going? i get the feeling that once people stop recording he just collapses in a heap.

    love this man!

    Fucking Brilliant Mr Brand
    your mouth
    your mind
    running all the time
    just grab hold at the beginning
    and don’t let go
    what a lovely wave
    you create always !

    your energy inspires me always

    as the wind I fly
    as the wind I try
    as the wind I am
    as the wind I fill the sails
    as the wind I spread the seeds of life
    as the wind I float kites
    as the wind I tickle with the slightess breeze

    I was lifted by your wind
    I danced and went with it
    giggling with glee
    all the way to the sea
    of sparkling wonders

    keep sparking my friend

    see you out there
    swinging from the sky

    I am studying English literature at the moment and I wish my thesis could be on Russell’s work, what an amazing monologue, WOW!
    I THINK HE MUST HAVE IMPRINTS ON HIS MIND FROM PREVIOUS LIVES HE MUST HAVE BEEN OSCAR WILDE.

    Brilliant mind! Peter Cook would have loved this, or maybe go on a rant about how much he despises you, either way I thought it were great.
