he's touring the states now. heard he hates you guys but who cares? if he comes to Aus i don't care if he spits on the crowd - as long as he performs at least one song. or reads his laundry list. or something

Your pathetic attempts at trolling prove only that you are not fit to lick Waits' artfully distressed boots. I'll admit that he's attracted a few too many slavish imitators and that his early records began to grow a bit stale - which is why his wife encourged him to switch up his style circa Rain Dogs. If you don't appreciate Waits you don't actually care about music. You probably view it as a fashion accesory or a fucking soundtrack

 

Though Waits can work for those purposes as well

I never heard anything about him hating australians. in fact, since so many of his songs make reference to australia, I'd say quite the opposite was true.

yeah 'cause if he sings about you he must like you. thats the same logic reagan used when he played Born in the USA at his rallies

only version of waltzing matilda i've heard its Waits bit in Tom Traubert's blues and i've been here 5 years. quite proud of that fact

anyway story i heard was that he came here in the 70s, got treated like shit, wrote Pub With No Cheer, and never came back. but we've got Nick Cave, so it kinda balances out

how is his writing pub with no cheer a response to any treatment he got here? he read a story about an outback town that was losing it's pub, he wrote pub with no cheer. I dont think there's much room in that short story for ma

eh i thought he was implying that he was in a pub with no cheer. or maybe i'm getting that confused with the shit treatment Dylan recieved first time he came here... i dunno. he's Tom Waits. he can do whatever the fuck he wants. anyone want to buy a kidney? i need to fly to the States and see him
