I'm not getting any sound. Is that a joke based on the previous thread, or a glitch?

P.S. Tom Waits should stick to songwriting.

ZAZ: I'm not getting any sound.

Works fine for me. Just takes a while to get started... who edited this clip?

Back when Tom was an interesting boho songwriter and not an Artiste.

Kinda loses the frenetic street-hustler feel when it's done at this time signature. Wonder who the bass player is. Sure ain't Jim Hughart.

For those who don't get Tom Waits, I don't think this will help.

Yeah, it's kind like inviting guys who don't "get" homosexuality to look at two naked twinks having hot dirty sex on a park bench.

/Likes Tom Waits. Would meet him on a park bench.

Yes, Tom Waits...

I like the Waltzing Matilda song, I love the song "God's Away On Business", "I'm still here", and others...

When I was young I thought Tom was not good. Now I know he's amazing. He does lots of stuff, tries new things all the time, and some of it is rotten, and some of it is beautiful.

/love Tom Waits

Nope, still don't get it. I can totally dig the guy's passion and emotion, and his songwriting chops are amazing. Unfortunately that voice is like a cheese grater on my eardrums.

To each their own, I suppose.

Overrated.

Plus I dont want to hear any complaints about Dylan's voice after listening to that screeching tom-cat in heat/nails on a blackboard 'singing' Waits does.

Found the sound problem -- there are two volume sliders in series with my setup, YouTube volume (normally hidden) and system volume (visible). YouTube sound was turned down.

I still don't "get" Tom Waits.

/gets Tom Waits

i agree. should have played 16 shells from a 30.06

Tom Waits' voice used to annoy me and I refused to listen to any more of his songs after hearing "Clap Hands". About 10 years later I downloaded some of his stuff to give it another try. I heard "Martha" and almost cried (shut up!). Since then I've been listening to all of his I can get a hold of and can't get enough of his voice.
I think if you want something most people would "get", try "I Don't Want To Grow Up" or "Downtown Train".

Seeing Waits on the 29th, can't wait.

/sorry, just had to let it out
