2-22-08 Tom Waits – Rains on Me

Posted by gavortnik on February 22, 2008

You know those online personality tests? you know, the ones where you answer a bunch of questions and then you find out that you’re a horse or the Punisher?

I hate those.

I hate someone who doesn’t know me from Adam making pat observations about me. I hate having my unique personality shoehorned into one convenient and often stereotyped pigeonhole. And I hate the Punisher (although I can see their point on that one; guess my large buried cache of illegally modified assault rifles gave that one away).

In fact, the one on my brother’s MySpace page is probably the first one I’ve taken in, oh, give or take, a decade. But I gotta admit…

Which fucked-up genius composer are you?
Tom Waits… charismatic story-teller with a penchant for freaky people and unusual settings. You thrive on the concept of the underdog coming out on top.

Pretty accurate.

In light of this stunning revelation (“I am TOM WAITS! RAAAARRRGH!”), I bring you the bourbon-soaked Rains on Me, from the Fuzzy-Faced One. This one’s courtesy of Maria Levitsky at WMFU.
