I posted a link to an Incredible String Band song featuring Licorice's sweet voice to a private FB group, saying I had always wanted to sing like her. Someone said she sounded like Tiny Tim. I am offended. 🎵
@RobinLily To be fair, Tiny Tim had an incredible voice... Look up his Royal Albert Hall performance. The way he could switch octaves between "male" and "female" parts in the same breath..... He was undoubtedly on the spectrum and very confused sexually, but his talent might be one of the most underappreciated of all time.
I'd personally take it as a compliment to be compared to him!
@theunabeefer Thanks, I'll listen to some of that. Didn't pay attention at the time. I was off listening to ragamuffin hippie bands ...
@RobinLily The person who said that probably meant it as an insult, but they also probably only know Tiny Tim as a sorta meme... Dude legit was awesome though!
He'd always been one of my heroes since childhood (in the 80s) but reading a biography recently, I've realized how much there was to him.
I think Michael Cera needs to play him in a biopic!!
