I'm cool with being a fool if it means that I get to enjoy Waits.

It's hard to find someone comparably ****ty but you managed with Norah Jones.

You don't like that ****. You just think you do. You're so far past it. I'm not hearing that.

He's no Beefheart but that's not a sin.

I've listened to the record before. I got it on CD-R somewhere in my collection. **** that record.

What's the real version of Waits?

Hawk, I could write a long and detailed defence of Waits and his music, challenge your assertion that he is fake, and accuse you of all sorts of biases (you clearly don't like him so you were never going to like this album even if it was his best ever) but I'm not going to waste my time on such ignorance. Instead, I think this articulates my thoughts best:
