Part of the appeal of liking him is that you get to feel like you're part of a club. A club of people who like their music doused with a lot of second hand smoke. Well put. Tom's music is not for the simple-minded. |

Oh, well now. If it's in Shrek 2 that just shifts my whole paradigm of the universe and everything. Shrek 2 is the greatest movie since Ice Age 2! |

Kheeerhist TOM! Me thinks you need to stop singing now. I give it a decent 5 only because I like TW. But jeeezus...sounds like the wino I passed in the subway passageway tunnel on my way from here to there in NYC.
Just sayin'..

If you don't like it, you just don't like it - fine. That doesn't mean that those who enjoy Tom Waits' work are "lemmings", but if you feel a need to insult those whose tastes are different from yours, go on. However, the word "genius" is woefully over-used. "inho"? |

I hadn't noticed before but there is definitely influence from Django Reinhardt in here.
Nice.

Ol' gravel-voice is positively tuneful here compared to his normal voice, almost Singalongatom. A great songwriter and street poet. |

Always lots of whit & lots of tongue in cheek.
Very smart man. Singer?
Funny thing about singers, note perfect & no emotion = dead, rough sounding & emotion =soul.
That may explain It. Me, I still don't "get" Tom Waits. :-/ |
