Love him. Have done for bout 20 years. Heart attack and vine is still one of my favourite all time albums. I don't know many people who's actually heard of him let alone like his music x

My fave Tom song is " I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With you".

Plus loved him in "Bram Stoker's Dracula"......."Master, I am waiting for you. Your wish is my command, Master!"

Aww rubys arms is fuckin magic....so chilling

A guy came to buy speakers off me a few weeks ago and asked for a CD to play on his equipment he had brought to test the speakers. I handed him heart attack in vine and he put it on. He turned it off and said that's crap do you not have anything dancey. Just remembered that there lol x

Would love be to see him live, although I've resigned myself to never doing so.

Favourite song; either Bottom of the World or Swordfishtrombones

Love Tom Waits, got into him via my old Art teacher (Heart Attack & Vine) . Rain Dogs completely blew me away ! But I’ve found myself playing “Nighthawks at the Diner” a lot on Spotify

That’s my favourite album, love that track. One of the first things I learnt to play on sax too.

Actually I don’t know many people who don’t know him

I wish threads like this don’t suddenly appear, my heart dropped thinking he had died.

For me Tom is one of the greatest songwriters but his singing can be a love or hate for anyone who’s not aware of the artist.

Saw him in the Edinburgh Playhouse a few years back.

Favourite song is an impossible question but tonight the answer is ‘Time’.

Listening to a Tom Waits song is like watching a movie to me....his songs are just so cinematic.

Going Out West is a Tarantino movie just waiting to be made.
