@Zigiwy "it's hard to wash him out of your clothes. It stains, like coffee or blood." i fully agree with this and that kathleen opened waits up . in my view a more expressive and mature side of waits' music

@Zigiwy (I'm just agreeing with your question to LochlanachViking, fergaloleary).
From Waits' wiki page.
Tom Waits' shift in artistic direction, starting with 1983's Swordfishtrombones, was, Waits claims, a result of his wife Kathleen Brennan introducing him to Van Vliet's music.[149] "Once you've heard Beefheart," said Waits, "it's hard to wash him out of your clothes. It stains, like coffee or blood."

@fergaloleary Hearing the Captain's music is what brought us this side of Waits. Listen to the albums he did early on, up to the beginning of the 80s, and you'll hear what we'd keep hearing had his wife not played him some Beefheart.

The thing I like is that every live version of a song he does is like a brand new song. Nothing is the same. I used to hate live performances because they sounded so different from the studio version (in a bad way). Now that I have discovered artists like Tom Waits I almost prefer the live performances. If he ever tours again Im going the guy is awesome.
