It's a bit like Florence Foster-Jenkins, if you take the view she knew what she was doing. A couple of tracks are hysterical (gotta love the queen of the night aria) but do I want to listen to her singing the entire soprano repertoire? Well, no. And the law of diminishing returns means it gets less and less funny the more she goes on. Bingo !!!!! While I wouldn't go so far as to say BM2 isn't putting us on, I think there's more to it than a super-extended hoax. I think there's something a little weird about someone who would go to all this bother and waste all this time for a joke which even he must see gets less funny as it goes along. A little weird, yes. A waste of his (and our) time, yes. But perhaps he doesn't care that it "gets less funny as it goes along" because of all the attention we continue to give him.

It's not a criticism to say that someone doesn't appreciate a particular thing of humor. Probably nobody gets all humor, and arguably some humor that a lot of people do get is completely stupid. Not only stupid, but actually offensive to some people !!! But, hey - we're all different !!!!

He probably doesn't think it's a waste of his time. I don't think it's a waste of someone else's time unless maybe if someone takes it seriously, listens to the entire performance, and gives detailed comments. Even if the performances occasionally leave something to be desired, the glorious tone of his piano is inspiring.
