Dear Tom Waits, I’m very vulnerable to sentimentality right now so could you please sing a little less about homes, family and fond times past, never to return, and please have *more* songs about murders and grimy urbanscapes and weird clanking noises? Thank you.

@zebratron2084 he’s like the only musician to become way less mellow after marriage. My gut feeling is that at some point, he told Kathleen “I wish I could perform songs like this but people would hate it” and she actually told him to go for it, and she was dead right if that’s what happened.
