MUSIC: WAITS, TOM

Tom Waits is a well-know looming creature in both music and film, so I won't beat a dead horse (although some of his music would seem to advocate that, quite literally). This song is so powerful and moving to me. I once heard him say in an interview that he was no actor, but I think he was being a bit overly modest. His characters always steal the show for me. People who are diversely multi-tallented fascinate me. I'm always really jealous of them.
