I've tried, but I just don't.
It seems like just about everybody whose opinion I respect adores Tom Waits, but I just simply can't find anything he's done that I like. I always get the feeling that he's just some guy that screams into his pillow every night to roughen up his voice and then uses that voice to put a unique spin on otherwise mediocre poetry set to music (I saw an interview where he talked about the pillow-scr...

Album:Scheherazade, Op. 35
