I first heard Tom Waits on "Homicide: Life on the Streets" back in the 90s and saw him in Short Cuts.  I bought "Beautiful Maladies."  I like about half the songs, really like about 4 or 5, and really hate the rest.

He's a better actor than Glenn Frey.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Now that sounds like a backhanded compliment if I've ever heard one.  It reminds me of responses to a question such as "What's your opinion of Raquel Welch as an actress?"  that are along the lines of "She's nice to her mother."
