His take on AS eyes " looking dead " is that if you video tape people at a concert, their eyes will look dead as the rest of their senses take over to process the sound and physical vibrations of the music. He is so often overwhelmed by the environment that his eyes shut down, and it doesn't mean he's lying, or not engaged, it's the opposite: he's using all of his senses to figure out what the heck is going on. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
