  • man this is the stuff

  • superb reading-!

  • @deewkay1 Waits provides the mysteriousness that those lyrics require.

  • "Well, I asked him why he called his rig such a name." Nifty construction.

  • Kinda sounds like George Thorogood in some places in this song.

  • If there's a man out there who can even come close to this genius, find me.

  • If you've never gotten a tear in your eye while listening to this rendition of the classic you've missed the point entirely.

  • I sang this song at the open mike in the Central Park Grill, Buffalo, NY, on December 8th, 1980, the night John Lennon was killed....won't forget that night......

  • I like Red Sovine's version better.

  • well done the song that is . But not much of a video But love the song
