Rives

I thought Rives was really cool to listen to, it reminded me a lot of stand up comedy. I've actually heard a few comedians use a style similar to his in certain shows. His presentation is really engaging. He has a strong control of his language, but it seems relaxed and free. You get the feeling you get when someone is guiding you who makes whatever it is seem effortless, so you trust them and you and have to worry about where their going. You can just listen to him. The rhythm and rhyme makes everything more powerful. He strikes me as someone who gave up on trying to mold what he wants to say, and just says it. I can admire that in a person, and a performer.
