Joachin, Dear, this is why speechwriters exist.


Let someone else put things into words for you, from now on. You do it on your day job, after all.

I liked his speech very much
He didn't come off as preachy, just a bit spur of the moment, scattered and genuine

I admire a guy who shoots from the hip

In any event he seems incapable of being boring, good for him

reply

You DIDN'T THINK HE WAS BEING PREACHY??!?!?!?!???

reply

If you were some nut job PETA fool then it wasn't preachy- to others it was.

reply

I felt he was slightly overwhelmed, he tried to make a few interesting, heartfelt points and then he zeroed in on his brother and that whole tragedy

Meandering yes, preachy no...I loved the whole thing
I was a fan of that speech

reply

Well, it's nice that someone liked it!

Personally, I think that anyone who harangues a group that just gave him an award instead of thanking them should be embarrassed. So should anyone who harangues people for five minutes, and then several minutes later, passingly says that yes, he's behaved badly too, should also be ashamed. I was definitely embarrassed for him.
