It's an embarrassing testament to the world in which we now live that it takes something that is literally interactive for people to realize a man's genius. We have become a society that is no longer content to listen to a song and let it interact with our own minds. We need something else prodding us along and directly including us, as if just the song, and our own thoughts and feelings about the song, isn't enough.

It says a lot that there's a new video for this song and everyone seems to be all excited about it because now they get to fiddle with the song's visual accompaniment. Yes, this will probably get a few people interested in Bob for the first time, but what if it didn't have this flashy interactive video? I would be willing to wager a lot of people wouldn't care. But, now look, I'M INVOLVED.

Haven't we become narcissistic enough already?
