I read the book (or rather listened to the entire audiobook during a long drive). I think it was a good book and I enjoyed it.

I really like this performance and version of the song. It looks like everyone is enjoying themselves.

I changed the URL as you suggested. Thanks for the detective work.

I think the original artist is: https://dresdencodak.com but I could not find this specific comic on his website.

I went to a concert in New York City where I live. It was a heavy metal band called Monster Magnet. They were heavy, boy. The singer had no shirt on and leather pants and he was playing like a flying V guitar. And he stood on the monitor and he yells to the crowd, he said “How many of you people feel like human beings tonight?” and then he said “How many of you people feel like animals?”

And the thing is everyone cheered after the animals part. But I cheered after the human beings part because I did not know there was a second part to the question. I said, “Yes, I do feel like a human. I do not feel like a tree.” - Mitch Hedberg

I really like the Norah Jones cover of this song. She did a good job with it.
