We interrupt this LJ for a moment of fangirling

The Guardian interviews Tom Waits. Who, bless his soul, has this to say:

"They have removed the struggle to find anything. And therefore there is no genuine sense of discovery. Struggle is the first thing we know getting along the birth canal, out in the world. It's pretty basic. Book store owners and record store owners used to be oracles, in that way; you'd go in this dusty old place and they might point you toward something that would change your life. All that's gone."

Does he ever stray online?

"No," he says. "But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone, its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music."

He is afraid of the phone, you guys! As everyone rightly should be.

Sometimes I just wanna plus the fuck outta your posts and realize LJ doesn't have that and facilitates actual... communication (of a kind) and so, here I am, replying to your post in a manner that takes more brain cells to be utilized than a mere click of a button (though probably not *much* more), but yeah. +++

I post this here primarily because I'm after comments rather than +s and likes. :)
