@leonardobog: If that was a lot of musicians, then at 00:57 they would have sung a chord, about half choosing left leg note and half choosing right leg note, if you understand me? :)

He truly understands the power of energy and how to harness it and use it to his benefit. Amazing!

It's a science festival, so probably not.

Bobby is a Master... I mean, he can manipulate music to expres each emotion he can think of, and may master most types of music of the world. But I don't know, if there has been someone like him, that understands the nature of human musicality (or should I say, musicality of human nature?) to the point where he can just touch you with music, and you'll simply intuitively understand it, and sing along. He's just supreme!!!

That was about gay. No, Debussey and Ravel demonstrated extraordinary uses of the pentatonic.

Why does this make me think simultaneously of Arcade Fire and the Gorillaz?

Inedible? I think you mean inevitable, honey.
