For anyone wondering... he isn't drunk or high on something, he is talking in this floaty overplayed manner because it is kind of a midway between talking and singing. And singing takes away his stuttering.

God I miss him sm, one of the sweetest men I know. I really wish he wasn't gone, I really do, I think about him almost everyday. His music was life changing for me. Im just happy his legacy even in recently found interviews like this, live on.. Rest well John, hope you're flying high in Scatland. 🧡💜

I discovered his music in the late 2000's and I instantly knew his songs were gold. I heard scatman and thought "wtf" "omg this is amazing." Kinda says I'm an oddball, but anyways. I love that his music has a message to it. Scatman's world talks about race and that it doesn't matter, "tell me about the color of your soul." Those are powerful words. It also talks about who's the winners of this world if their are losers and ending global pollution. There's so many favorites, but one of my favorites of my favorites is the satirical lyrics of popstar. Honestly, you could take his songs and read his lyrics without the scat as thought provoking poem. Shortly after discovering him I wanted to see more content about him and was broken up to find out that he died to cancer many years before. I was emotionally affected since I had gained a hero and shortly learned after discovering him that he had already been taken before I got a chance to meet him. That doesn't mean I still don't enjoy his music. I enjoy learning about him and is why I'm watching the video since it's so rare to see long videos about him since he died before the internet exploded in 2008. Thank you so much for posting the video.
