I'll go ahead and give this Tom Waits guy a listen... but I ain't making no promises about putting his music on my iPod, okay!?

LOL! Thanks again, brother.

Tom Waits has a certain 'cult' following ... not everyones 'cup of tea'. His singing, for some ... leaves a lot to be desired ... but he's one hell of a songwriter. Really ... pure genius, IMHO.

His songs are best-known to the general public in the form of cover versions by more visible artists ... for example, "Jersey Girl," performed by Bruce Springsteen; "Downtown Train," performed by Rod Stewart; and "Ol' '55," performed by the Eagles.

On the 'Used Songs' CD ... it features Bette Midler singing a duet with Waits on "I Never Talk to Strangers."

This is stuff that you listen to ... when your in a drinking mood, while kicking back and relaxing with some good cigars.

Give ol' Tom a chance ... I guarantee his work will grow on you over time.

Both are DAMN GOOD !!!

I'm listening to 'Step Right Up' right now. Frito Lays used it in one of their promotions and Tom sued and WON for an undisclosed amount of money. Frito Lay countersued ... and LOST !!!

MACS ... that's one song that will have your toe tappin' !!!

Especially not in airport bathrooms, you ****!

LMFAO!!!

You ARE a man of your word, sir!

BTW (threadjack) got some Floridata ltd after you said you liked em Slim. Thanks, thats three for three!
