The Storyteller Waits

To me Tom Waits is the greatest storyteller I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Being from Newfoundland I've heard my share of storytellers. There's nothing else to do but sit around and tell story's of days passed and sip on bottleneck of beer. So for me to say that Tom is the greatest that I have ever heard is a great privilege towards him. Even MTV made a great choice to get Tom to appear on their show Storytellers. At the beginning of this song he tells a great story about how he was interrupted in a hotel room one night when a couple barged in on him fighting. After the story he brakes into one of his great songs Jersey Girl. Recorded by Bruce Springsteen who made it a hit many people go back to Waits version and think its much better. It has more soul and supposedly written for his wife who's from New Jersey. Waits is one of my favorite artists to listen to and watch and here he proves why hes now in the rock and roll hall of fame.
