You Can’t Keep a Genius on Thorazine

This planet, this Universe, produces a hell of a lot of beautiful things.  It would be hard to even vote for one as "Most Beautiful", but if I had to nominate something myself, it would be…insanely creative people.  Insanely creative people just give me soulgasms, not kidding, cheesy made-up word intended.  Now, true insane-creativity can be difficult to distinguish from mere insanity, or worse, mere social posturing a la made-up shit.  But today, I have an example for you, of true, grade-A, wowee zowee, batshit whackaloon genius. 

Ladies and gentlemen…Tom Waits’ press conference.  [very many thanks to matthewgood.org for the link!]

Of course, Matt Good is no slouch in the borderline-crazy borderline-messiah category either…If you’re not sure, check out his proposed cult religion, which has a better plan and tells a better story than Scientology, all in one leaflet-sized rant. 

That’s one of those things you look back on and say, "Hmm, maybe I should have been concerned that it was so easy for me to come up with something like that…?" 

Nice.
