Nice Catch. Its Tom Waits. When I'd play his music it was not uncommon for those who'd not heard him (which were many) to say either: a.) "WTF IS THAT?!!??!" derisively, like, shocked because they thought his music so completely awful or b.) "WTF IS THAT?!!??!!" in a more positive tone because they thought his music was unique, diverse and interesting.Originally posted by Krichinsky View PostCookie is that you or Tom Waits?
For those who took the first path (and did so in a manner that was ignorant i.e. closed minded, judgmental and/or hateful or insulting to Waits....and there were more than a few who reacted with very strong negativity to Tom's work) and because Tom Wait's vocals often sound like Cookie Monster (from Sesame Street)'s vocal on his one and only hit "C is for Cookie" I'd tell them it was Cookie Monster's later work, after the record company screwed him outta all his royalties for his hit song and he fell into the use of heroin. Largely unknown.
This I did because I didn't appreciate them reacting with such disdain to what I and many others found to be interesting and unique music.....very diverse, many various styles and instruments employed.
Theres a few people wandering around believing that Cookie Monster did alot more than just "C is for Cookie"....and they are not happy about it.
Especially with lyrics such as Tom lays out.
"boney's high on china white, shorty found a punk, don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk, well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line, what you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine."
"it's a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace And a wound that would never heal No prima donnas the perfume is on and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street-sweepers, The night watchmen flame-keepers....
And Goodnight Matilda too."

Very nice selection today with Kst.. I actually would have taken Oklahoma if someone would have put a gun to my head..Originally posted by PDiddy View PostRR84.... Breaking news.....
