Love it. When Bill came out, I pictured one of those early MTV-era Mike Judge cartoon characters suddenly morphing from ordinary guy to Rock God over the course of a few verses.
Also reminds me of the time, way back when I was in a local choir and we once sang backup to Broadway legend Michael Crawford. Shortish, unassuming dude, you wouldn't look at him twice passing him on the street, did not talk before performing (and of course he didn't interact with us at all). Big voice on that guy, though.
That’s a cool story about Mr. Crawford. It’s funny: we expect people who do certain things to look a certain way. How many of these people (not all, obviously) adopt the look due to public expectation would be interesting to study. But as with any job, even in the entertainment industry there are uniforms.

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it Julie.

Haha! That got really good near the end. I snorted at the "Didn’t want to overwork that larynx" part.
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed the story.
