The wire would not have been as good without it as the theme.

I didn’t really discover waits until about 2000. I spent the next year or two getting everything he ever recorded. I love the guy

Probably almost cost me a marriage ,
My wife does not appreciate his music , or vocal stylings

"Big Time" was my soundtrack in my teens.. back in the days of Discman and little later, Minidisc.

I'm be gargling and my wife will say, "no, don't tell me ... Tom Waits, right?"

Performed 5 ways with 5 difference artists- fantastic! ( for each season)
Everything about The Wire was just captivating, "can't take your eyes off..."
Maybe the best series I've ever seen ( that, and Homicide )

We are in Va., and not far from Baltimore- done some gigs, recording, and 'touristy' field trips over the years. Quite a town.

Tom Waits is a real-deal national treasure. Wonderful songwriter and performer.

I just worked up a samba version of his tune Jockey Full of Bourbon.

Great song!!

Another favorite is "Clap Hand."

(I think that's the title.)

"Jockey Full of Bourbon" is another one!!!

imo.
