Question::
Do you like the music of Tom Waits?

A- I have very weird relationship with the music of Tom Waits. He’s obviously a super talented songwriter, but his “thing” really rubs me the wrong way a lot of the time. I loved “Rain Dogs” when it came out and I have a few of his other albums as well. I like his songwriting very much but he’s not on my a-list, sometimes that same grating drunken singing voice thing he does really rubs me the wrong way.
