->Tiny Tim is an [[OutsiderMusic outsider]] object lesson in two ways:
->1) He embodies the compulsion to create against astronomical odds. He could never quit. He had a destiny, which he would fulfill to the grave, regardless of public indifference, lack of money, or changing musical fashions.
->2) He demonstrated how far a genuine outsider musician could go without a manufactured makeover. No one else in this book appeared on ''Series/TheTonightShow''. Tiny Tim made over 20 appearances. He also guested on the Andy Williams, Merv Griffin, and Red Skelton TV shows. He dueted with Music/BingCrosby. Played the Royal Albert Hall. Spent the night at Music/BobDylan's house. Performed on a [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] album. And in true outsider form, accomplished it all without modifying his style one iota - that is, without compromise.
->Not that he had any choice in the matter. Like any for-real outsider, Tiny Tim couldn't be anything but himself.
