Comments on: Tom Waits is weird

Barney Hoskyns new book, 'Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits' is an 'unauthorized biography,' but I don't have a problem with that.

Yeah he's weird, but he is the sharpest knife in the shed.

Does Waits look enough like Ron Perlman to play Hellboy's non-identical twin brother, Angelface?

The two most unappreciated musicians, Tom Waits and Elvis Costello. Selfishly I'd like to keep it that way.

Swordfishtrombones is my fave, 16 Shells from a 30.6 being my all time favorite Waits song. My second favorite album is The Heart of Saturday Night, that came out the year before I was born!

About The Audiophiliac

Ex movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has more or less successfully hitched his future to home theater, but he still pines for the clickity-clack of 35 MM projectors and all the stale popcorn he could eat. Between projectionist gigs he worked as a high-end audio salesman for sixteen years, and produced records for an audiophile label. Oh, and one more thing, nothing annoys Steve more than being confused with the other Steve Guttenberg, the washed-up Police Academy actor. The wordsmith Guttenberg is a frequent contributor to a number of magazines and websites including Home Entertainment, Playback, and Ultimate AV. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
