Tom Waits is amazing yes, but how does he embody the spirit of reddit?

Waits' vivid tales of Ron Paul-obsessed foreveralone anti-theist stoners never fail to bring a tear to my eye.

Touche, what was I thinking when I assumed Redditors would be capable of considering abstracts instead of boiling all comments down to concretes? I should have known better.

Dude, that's just weak. Do you know who he is, really?

Wow, this was not well received for some reason. Anyone who has enjoyed the music, interviews, wisdom, and continual hilarity of Tom Waits knows that he is obsessed with random facts, funny and ironic stories, current events, colourful characters, curious images, and engaging deeply with human beings and communities of all sorts. Not to mention that he defines WTF, and produces more observations on truly "out-there" shit then any other artist currently living. Waits' personality oozed with the spirit of Reddit for 4 decades before Reddit even existed. Anyone who can't spot that should either reacquaint themselves with Tom Waits, with Reddit, or both.
