Tom's song that proves he could be a great pop songwriter if he tried. He much prefers writing tunes that no one else is capable of approaching, thankfully.

@JeffersA1 You ass.

@MrDaemonB How can you possibly come to your conclusion after admiting you limit yourself too Blues within a VERY specific time & in DIFFERENT decades? Were u deaf between 30's-50's? (dont answer: joke) You 'tried' to get with music but nothing stood out. Thats very, very arrogant mate. Try harder. Tom Waits is unique and everyone loves him for that brutal humble throat. Comparing him to the years of training required to be opera singer is rediculous. Star Struck?

@majorisore Tom Waits is the only white singer that has any soul to project through his music.(other than opera singers?) I don't follow pop music, never have...my background is 20's 30's Blues, as well as other honest folk styles. Also modern electric blues from the 50's-70's....I've really tried to get with the music since but Waits is about the only standout.....If he said that? If asked, who would answer differently,besides he is a humble man by nature.

I tend to agree more with mtut's take on this whole "cover by Rod" situation. Tom Waits is, and I don't think I'd get much argument from ANYONE, no matter their musical predilections, an absolute genius wordsmith and songwriter in general, and Mr. Stewart was paying him some overdue homage by delivering his passionate, heartfelt rendition that was much more suitable, in the eyes of the music bigwigs whose opinion really count, for consumption by the unwashed masses. Rod gifted Tom with MONEY!
