my friend, connor said that tom waits was no good, that he likes louis armstrong better... i laughed and behind his back said that louis armstrong is the pussy version of tom waits

He's absolutely killing it in this performance. Saying you don't like Tom Waits or a particular performance is like saying you don't like a grizzly bear or a thunderstorm. They don't care what you think and their gonna kick ass anyway - take it or leave it. He's a force of nature
@PegOMyHeart27 Sorry Peg but Brian Fallon doesn't hold a candle to the talent or personality apparent in Tom Waits. Brian appears to fashion his behavior after Tom's in some ways...and there in lies the problem. Tom is an original.
God I love technology that lets me have this fabulous stuff at my fingertips that I have been enjoying for 40 years. Rap is good, but NOBODY touches Tom Waits in the unforgettable lyrics department, to say nothing of the haunting melodies. He was awesome before awesome became slang.

I see all ego and no substance with this guy. Don't say I didn't give him a chance. Because I did. Several songs. Several videos. Read about him for hours. No more. Been experimenting with him. Giving him a try. I'm done. I think he sucks.
My daughter, at four months old, was crying inconsolably. I tried it all, formula, rocking her in the chair etc. Finally I put my iPod onto "Nighthawks at the Diner". She was out in three minutes. To this day, a year and some later, if I put Tom Waits on, she will stop and listen. She's not even talking yet and she knows good music!
He is the man,, the greatest ever was, ever is,, ever will be,,,, Love him,,,,,,,His insanity reachz no limit,,,HE IS THE ONE,,,hmmmmmm 26 Dislikes,,, hell I need 26 Bullets right away how dare!!!!
I love John Prine and Todd Snider so I should love Tom Waits. But I just can't get into this shit no matter how much I'd like to. Sorry. Sounds like the Halloween record my mom used to jam at Halloween that had monster mash and some other shit on it.
my daughter used to think this was The Cookie Monster singing when she was 2 years old. I never corrected her. She us 24 now-pretty sure she knows Frank Oz doesn't sing like this even though he *could*...."The roar of a true mother fucker."Indeed,Ventix946
Ehh.. I like a lot of music, including a lot of Jazz, but I guess Tom Waits just isn't my cup of tea. Still, I wouldn't rate this thumbs down (nor up), because I can tell that there is genuine passion here.

Help us to block a bill called Stop Online Piracy Act. SOPA is a bill that would create America's
