Hahahaa!!! Your comment clearly shows what you're made of - solid, unadulterated dogshit.What an Internet badass you are. I'm sort of frightened by how bad ass you are, so I am trying to decide where to run and hide from you. You're very, very scary. Pfft... Muahaha!!

You are an idiot who deserves to die. I have better taste in music than you do and I am smarter than you. You're nothing more than a sad, pathetic little piece of shit who has terrible taste in music. Go suck on a cock and choke on the emission you miserable pile of shit. I hope you die and take every other idiotic internet troll with you. I would laugh for days if you got killed.

ohcalcutta81-Hahaha!! There ya go! The true Waits fan showing his true colors and the vast limitations of his intellect. How very typical. I expect nothing less from someone who enjoys this garbage.

I think that they either don't have his mic turned up enough, or they have the piano turned up too loud.

This is one of my favorite Tom Waits ballads. 'On the nickel', as I understand it, means living on the street. Have I got that right?

Legend, genius, Zappa-esque. I mean all of the above as the greatest compliments that I can pass on to another human being.
