Ihave never been able to make it through more than one or two Tom Waitssongs in a sitting. I don't own any of his stuff.

Then maybe you ought to try, as it sounds like you might have more timefor him than you think. I also notice that one of the two comments onthe video was made by 'maliciousRainDog', a Tom Waits handle ifever there was one.

I actually didn't mean to aim the remark at you anyway; I meant thatthe songwriter was obviously listening to rather a lot of TW to writethe song. It actually reeks of him. (The Reek of Tom Waits isan album title I have reserved for future use)
