Perhaps because, not so deep inside his silly and jovial exterior, he's just as much of an empath as you are?
Just a guess. (Not that I would know anything about such things.)
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Joyce ,'Never Leave Me'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Okay, I know I'm probably the last person in the entire multiverse to get on the OK Go bandwagon, which is probably the single event which will cause all previous OK Go fans to say "oh, they're so mainstream now, what sellouts, not interested anymore," but this is the awesomest thing made out of awesome in the entire history of things that are awesome (no, I don't watch MTV, why do you ask?):
Here It Goes Again video on YouTube
I could watch it a bajillionty times and never get tired of it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I could watch it a bajillionty times and never get tired of it.Thanks to you, I just watched it my bajillionty and oneth time and... nope, not tired of it. And that was even after my browser got cranky with YouTube and went through the entire song once without video -- it certainly isn't Deathless Epic Rock For The Ages, but it's a damn good bouncy pop song even without the video.
Also, approximating the treadmill business as best I could in the tiny space of our nerd hole while singing to Matilda first made her goggle, then made her smile, then put her right to sleep. Big sloppy kisses to OK Go for that!

I first heard it on the radio and was all "Hey, it's OK Go. The 'Ffista music peeps like them. And they're on my radio!" and I thought the song was nice, catchy, and energetic.
But that video reaches a transcendant level of awesome.

Muse is trying for that title. Especially with songs like Stockholm Syndrome. I leave it to the listener to decide if they succeeded.

Please tell me you video taped this and are putting in on the 'Net right now.

In my spit-up-covered morning clothes and bedhead hair and with my truly shitty singing voice? No way in hell, bub. Though we will be getting a digital camera with some kind of video capacity in a week or so, and Hec has already threatened to sneak up on Matilda and me with it.

That's awesome, jimi. Not treadmill awesome, but possibly close.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

eta: Download is rather slow, with pauses. Maybe because WFMU linked to it....
