Last night at a concert in North Carolina, Ben Folds signed on to Chat Roulette and proceeding to improv some songs about the random, shirtless oddballs he encountered. The songs are really funny and surprisingly catchy, and you get the feeling that Folds and his audience of two thousand Charlotte-ians really did cheer up some of these angry loners who had probably been lurking in the dark too long. Ben Folds can cure internet trollery! Who knew?
This clip is probably going to be all over the place online for the next day or two. Well, it deserves to be. Ben Folds just made an instant fan of me. (Some language mildly NSFW.)

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?
Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
