Tom Waitts Where do I begin?
You can begin with spelling his name correctly...just one 't' in 'Waits" I'm a big Tom Waits fan from way back. I think there is another thread on this that I contributed to....just a minute, let me check. Ah, found it. Check here Marco |
Nicko - I can't remember who said it, though I'm sure it wasn't Waits....I think maybe it was Gary Null....."....critics and lawyers are just two steps beneath snail dung...." Now I'll probably get my ass flamed by all the lawyers and critics on this list. Ouch! I do enjoy Rain Dogs too. Try my very best not to use the word "best" for exactly the reasons you question critics....hey, what the f%*k do I know?! I just like his music. He's the BEST you know. You can quote me on that. Just don't shout quite so loud, I can't hear my music when your making your point like that, and no one's listening anyway. Marco |
Hey Warren- If you like his lyrics, but the voice doesn't grab you, don't forget to try the cover albums mentioned in the thread, of which there are several excellent ones. Holly Cole's "Temptation" and John Hammond's "Wicked Grin" are both outstanding. Waits without as much gristle and half the calories! Marco |
I'm with you there on Eva, Warren! That woman could make The Back Street Boys sound listenable (ugh, what a thought though)! I do like Cole however and the recording's pretty darn good too with some great soundstaging. But definitely go for the gusto dude. The real thing builds character, and helps build strong bones in eight essential ways! I salute your manliness my friend! A toast to all things masculine! I'll drop my drawers today and look down and be reminded of you and of Tom Waits as I gaze upon my own manhood. You can take it Warren, I know you can. Just edge that volume up just a nudge each time you listen. Oh yeah, now we're talking. Eastwood and Hackman would be proud dude. Marco |
