So eat me. I really do love his work.

i fucking worship everything he does. honest to god.

im sure after today a bunch of idiots will get on this thread and certainly piss me off, but i really do think he is the most creative singer/songwriter of our times.

some of that credit does go to kathleen brennan i suppose since it wasnt until they writing together that he went way left of center and started doing what HE really wanted to.

i put him above the beatles. that's a bold statement. he's tied with the misfits for my all time favorite position.

Slayer is to Fisher what Tom Waits is to Thompson.

HE IS THE SHIT. SO FUCKING CREATIVE AND SUCH A GREAT SONGWRITER.

"Picture in a Frame" wil be played at my wedding.

and the live version of "train song" at my funeral (without the hilarious intro of course.)

"...splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk, huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too."

sincerely,

Story in yesterday's paper that mentions Mr. Waits. No matter how you feel about him, that'd be awesome to be in, like, 4th grade & have him show up to teach.
