I cant find it now but there is a clip of one of his first TV appearances and the audience and host are just laughing , assuming it's piece of comedy. Of course he would say something profound about life being a comedy and then tell a tale of old drunks in late night bars and we'd all coo and smile at his genius.I'm watching a documentary about Tom Waits. I'm into the noir atmosphere, late night jazz, the production on the records & a lot of the stuff he references, but I could never get into his music. I just find his whole act & persona annoying. It's so self consciously contrived & studied. There's a array of celebs saying what great songs & lyrics he has. I'll have to take their word for it. I can't get passed that stupid voice he puts on.
I don't dislike him him but yeah..what you said.
