    He sounds like that huckleberry Finn writer at times I've heard him more like mitch he'd Berg. It's important to see the whole of the work. Norm was an artist and his art was his life and his comedy together, from what I know that can't be separated. It's by design I believe because he knew for over a decade perhaps 2 that he would die relatively young. And now through pure will and intellect he will live for as long as YT exists. He knew all this, his actions, comments, and work tells us this story.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on Norm's delivery of this Q&A? I didn't think much about the tone of his voice until he began referring to the Q&A as being a sort of nonsense. Of course, he's not being interviewed by a comedian/entertainer, so I can see how he may be a bit less animated. However, I began to feel like maybe he didn't want to be there. Not that it matters one way or another; I'm just curious to know if anyone else thought anything of it.
