I'm so out of touch with what's been happening on the
forum due to certain creative endeavours that have
been testing my sanity( or what's left of it).I did
notice there was a bit of chat about Waits top 20 in
the Guardian a few weeks ago. If you're
interested...there's a brilliant book called Songs In
The Key Of Z by Irwin Chusid featuring several of the
more obscure people Waits cited in his top 20. There's
chapters on the likes of Harry Partch,
Beefheart,Shooby Taylor and loads of oddball
songwriters on the margins of music. The writing is
superb, and Waits is namechecked in several chapters
as being influenced by many of these artists.Worth
reading if you can find it; there's a real collection
of nutjobs in there. By the way, for those living in
Glasgow( and i think there's a few on this
forum)...the owner of McChuill's pub is a big Waits
fan and played Heartattack & Vine in its entirety last
week when i was in for an afternoon pick-me-up. Just
ask him to play something by the Man and he'll
oblige.Maybe we should compile a list of global pubs
with Waitsian tendencies.
