And avoid becoming a media whore he has. I've never seen someone go after a company so aggressively as when some idiot uses his music in a TV commercial. I think that was the first point of respect I had for him, and is actually what convinced me to check him out a bit further. I have a similar distaste in ads, and I am always a bit depressed when a band I like allows their music to be used in one.
Tom Waits has gotten by, in my opinion, on shear talent and will. He isn't everyone's cup of tea and he knows it, but he doesn't change for anyone.
