Nighthawks at the Diner, oh, yeah!   Grin  He was great as Renfield in Dracula and as the scientist in Mystery Men.  Loved his nonlethal weapons.

Big Tom Waits fan (especially his post-Swordfishtrombones period)...AND a big Nick Cave fan!

Just rented I'm Your Man, the documentary on Leonard Cohen (another fave)...it starts out with Nick Cave singing a Cohen tune...it just doesn't get much better than that.

Would that be "Avalanche?" Great song -- either Cave's or Cohen's version.

I'm just getting into more Tom Waits music. But Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds has been my #2 band for over a decade now. Listen to them almost every day -- trying to learn as many songs on guitar as I can to play after there's no more electricity.

It was I'm Your Man itself, actually.

Started working The Ship Song into my acoustic set a while back...might bring it back one of these days.

The Piano Has Been Drinking ... my absolute favorite

He was fantastic in Robert Altman's  Short Cuts playing the drunken, loutish hubby opposite Lily Tomlin. I think Altman was nominated for Best Director that year.

Great film ...

Keep your ear to the wisdom post
Keep you eye to the line,
Never let the weeds get higher than the garden,
Always keep a sapphire in your mind,
Always keep a diamond in your mind.

Got to get behind a mule
in the morning and plow.

He did a good job in the movie Ironweed, though the movie didn't get the attention it deserved.
