Since I'm a farily new member of this board this may have been posted elsewhere ... sorry if it is. I've been curious about something for a while and that thead about bad improvisations caused it to pop up in my head again. There seems to be (in my ear anyway) a major difference in Jon's speaking voice on stage and when he's doing interviews, press conferences, movies and what not. It seems that when he speaks or banters into the microphone on stage he comes off as having a strong Jersey accent (Mind you I'm from Canada so it may be another accent ... can't say for sure) while that doesn't come through at all when he speaks in an interview. In fact if I didn't actually see Jon talking I wouldn't know that it's the same person from stage voice to interview voice. Does anyone else notice this and if so do you know if he does this for a perfomance feature or if it helps to soothe his voice between songs or some other reason?
