Tom Waits is the fucking Balls. My second all time hero (after Bukowski). Waits is the only singer that can make me weep (I’m a tough muthafucka with a biblical beard, tattoos and lots of scars- I don’t weep). That kitty is in for it.

meaning is overrated.

Here’s some blasphemy-
I don’t like Tom Waits. I did- or pretended to- in my 20s. Now I think- get over yourself. I think his article about loving the work of JT Leroy in Vanity Fair a few years back clinched it for me.
Moan, moan, “life is so hard”, moan moan, “I’m a man.” Moan moan, “woman, I’m a man.” moan screech, lousy blues crap, “Drinking is hard.” Moan, moan, “my high point was screwing Rickie Lee Jones.” Moan moan, “I am an LA social climbing fuckwad.”
Sorry. Don’t hate me. We can all find something else we agree on?
OK. By for a few hours. I was just being a bit too honest. I DO like people who like him, I’m just with the Magnet guy on this one- Andrew Earles, The Street Team?-

Is a lot of why i love tom waits.
Fucker is real.
Fucker wont sell out.
Iggy Pop slimes himself for a cruise line- waits says “fuck you” to doritos.
Iggy is a douche (so is Tommy Ramone) – Waits is the real punk

Yeah! He screwed her! Very straightforward thing. They fucked.

I could give a rats ass what is real punk or not. I just know what I like- totally subjective.
I love Iggy. Iggy does things for money? So fucking what.. But he’s always been Iggy. He can do a McDonalds Ad and I’ll still love him. So, it’s not about what one does, it’s about what I like. I like Iggy.
Tom Waits has always been Tom Waits.
“I smoke a lot, that’s why my voice sound like shit”, “man, life is hard” , “I write for Vanity Fair. ” Nya nya nya. “Listen to me suffer and man, I wear little hats.” “” ,”Did I tell you I write for Vanity Fair, about deep stuff, like JT Leroy?” “Jim Jarmusch thinks I’m special”, “I sing really deep songs about how hare life is being a celebrity in LA.”
Every memory I have of listening to him is in my 20s, with some asshat who fucked me, asked me to buy him breakfast and read bad books.
I’m sure he’s good. I listened to Dopesmoker by Sleep and Goblin Cock all day. Pay no attention to me.

I like you Nate. Let’s just agree to disagree on him? Please? peace out-

Nate- just read your laura hird thing-
I just want to say, that it is great you find him meaningful and your associations with him are beautiful. That made me have more respect for him in that he means something to you.
So, like I said, pay no attention to me (stoner metal craptastic mind ruined by stoner craptastic stoner music and drugs). My associations are bad and so perhaps they color my understanding of his music.
I really enjoyed reading your love of him and will take that into consideration.
Forgive me.

I dig the hell out of you,pr. I wasn’t judging you for not liking waits, just explaining part of what appeals to me about the man (beyond the music itself) – hell, if people find out that I like Neil Diamond, I’m screwed. Shit- now everyone knows. Alright, I like neil diamond. Fine. Stop smirking. I know what it says about me as a person. I kinda liked the first Harry Potter book too. There, I said it.

nate,
i like neil diamond, too. anybody who writes loves songs about wine is a-ok in my book. also, i like that “Sweet Caroline” can get construction workers singing at the top of their lungs.

pr, I don’t get the assumtion that tom waits is trying to be deep or anything – the whole “life is hard, drinking is hard” thing – i dont get that from his work at all. he’s a pastiche artist, an absurdist, with a dadaist-surreal bent. Cf songs like “Underground”, “Singapore”, “The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me Today” “The Black Rider”, etc etc. Or the stupid stories he tells in Letterman interviews.
He’s a far cry from Bukowski, who I can’t stand. That guy was a self-important twat, far more so than Waits.
Now I’m beig honest enough to get people laying on the hate.
Nate- it means a lot to me that you didn’t hold my shitty comments on Waits against me. Really. I like you no matter if you like Neil Diamond or Harry Potter books or whatever. You forgave me. That means so much.

I actually like Bukowski, so kill me.
I feel bad about making fun of Waits here. I’m not a good hater. I was just free associating with assholes I fucked in my 20s who listened to him, so it was very subjective bitching and forgive me for that.
I will stand by my giggling of his love of JT Leroy in Vanity Fair. But I am retarded.
Nate’s piece on Laura Hird sobered me, but I am not sober, it’s late on Saturday night, but you know what I mean. I give my respect. To you all.

Word my brother. Things like the JT Leroy thing do make me giggle myself. And each to their own. I’m listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s concert in central park. It’s great.

Hi Ross,
I am not a good asshole. So- Listen, I love Nate. He taught me something, and I appreciate it.
Nate, are you there? You are a good man. You changed my associations with Waits. Thank you.
I’m a complete retard. It’s almost midnight and I watching Serena whomping some girl’s ass at the French Open.

Also, I thought the juxtaposition of Tom in a funny twisted-up pose and the napping kitty in the photos was nice.
