In a thread on Metafilter about that wonderful, poetic, and head-scratchingly bizarre Tom Waits press conference of a few days ago, someone questioned whether or not Waits really existed. Another commenter responded with something absolutely beautiful. They said that Tom Waits is what Santa Claus turns into when you stop believing in Santa Claus.
It’s an absolutely beautiful idea, don’t you think?
And here, for those of you unwilling to follow the second link, is footage of the press conference.

Long live Tom Waits, Henry Rollins, and all those whose passion and humor permeate all they do!
