Genius-level performance skills aside (though let’s still give props), I love that he gave a simple but powerful life perspective: everybody essentially improvs all the time, and creating is what life is all about. Outside of just astounding everyone with his skills, I appreciate that he is letting us know to wield creativity and agency without fear.
