I'm going to resurrect this because the last post was a year ago and theres alot of new people there.
Tom Waits albums are just massive for me, and in january I'll listen to a given 4 tracks on an album and calim their my favorite, but August I'm listening to 4 track off the same album I never cared for before (or noticed) and absolutly love them.
It's not secret that he's my favorite artist/musician ever, but my adoration will stretch my vocabulary to the break point.
I've learned alot from Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, they have a pattern and they are methodical. I can only love Tom Waits, because he is burning passion, and there is no method to what he creates, he just is, and I guess if I can take anything away from that, its that I should throw away what I learned from Simon and Dylan and just burn as myself until my flame is extinguished.
