Is This Loud, YouTube-Loving Poet the Bard of the Internet?
Steve Roggenbuck is a product of his times. And I think that's a good thing.
But then, kind of magically, I found myself going with him, his ribald sensibility, his shouting, his joie de vivre. The kid is hilarious. And next thing I knew, I found myself making up Roggenbuckian sentences and IMing them to my friends:
I WANT TO EAT A HAM SANDWICH WHILE I RUN THROUGH A WHEAT FIELD GRASPING AT THE STALKS. I WANT TO CLIMB A MOUNTAIN OF MATTRESSES AND DRAW A SMILEY FACE WITH RED LIPSTICK ON MY FOREHEAD! LOOK AT THE MOON!
If this is a parody, it's a joyful one.
But seriously, watch the video. I bet you can't stop yourself from shouting something.
