    kick ass tune!

    i always think the rhythm in this song is sampled or at least directly ripped off from something but i can never quite put my finger on it... Metallica comes to mind...

    still a great tune and album and I met Tom Waits last week!!!!!

    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Tom Waits is incredible.....in my top 3 all time favourite bands/singers......


    Probably in a minority but i prefer him to Bob, Bruce and Neil.....

    he is !! i was super star struck and i stood by him for about half an hour working up the courage to talk to him because ive heard he is notoriously intense and moody but he was actually quite nice, while i was gushing about rain dogs and seeing the black rider, he asked me my name and said its nice to meet you etc.

    Me three.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
