I canβt stand the discussions where people speculate a bunch of random things about a topic instead of just looking it up. Tom Waits would be disappointed in me.
That's ok. Chances are good that if you've ever listened to Tom Waits's music you're disappointed in him too.
I absolutely love Waits' music and have for decades. In an interview he talks about how he hears shades of red, blue, green but some people listen to his music and just hears different shades of brown - and that's OK.
I do think it's a case of "never meet your heroes," though.
Tom strikes me as a cranky old man who lives in his chicken coop. He and I likely wouldn't gel as friends, or have much to talk about, and maybe we'd even vehemently disagree on some points. But that's OK. I don't have to be his friend to enjoy his music.
Cute. How's your album coming?
