The Internet has created its newest celeb du jour - Bubb Rubb.

First, watch him in his debut performance on our own, local, KRON 4 newscast here.  

Then, visit this site and have fun (make sure you hit the "toggle music" button to turn on the background music). 

I can't help but find a certain charm to his brevity.   Like a modern day poet, Bubb captures the indescribable essence of the situation in the fewest complete sentences.  What we find captivating about him on camera, is his connection with the Zen in the backs of our minds.  His feelings fluidly become action and his actions fluidly become words with nary a trip through conscious self-control nor inhibition.   This is pre-rational behavior at its best.  As Bubb would undoubtedly concur, "he keeps it real."

We like Bubb because he helps us discover the Bubb in ourselves.

The man has created a bit of a stir on the net with fansites dedicated to his wit, wisdom and, uh, unique perspective.  This is the closest I could find to a comprehensive fanpage for Bubb (a few of the MP3 remixes are SHOCKINGLY good).  And even some videos.  A quick trip through Google finds the somewhat dubious  Temple of Black Jesus tribute page.
