    At a concert in Adelaide AU he stopped midway through a song and told the audience he had a funny thought "A dyslexic devil worshipper sold his soul to Santa", and just picked up and continued where they left off.

    I love how he wants to be funny and silly but he's so generally anxious that he always just ditches and goes back to being straight faced. It's hard to articulate but as someone with a similar disposition its very easy to notice.
