she could bend over and spread her ass cheeks on the cover, but only tom waits should cover tom waits.

Montana might disagree. (Eagles covered "Ol '55.")
Actually, so might I, based on the Ramones cover of "I Don't Want to Grow Up."

I've never been a fan of the Eagles cover. Too damn clean. I agree that no one should cover Tom Waits. It's incredibly tempting, especially the early material, but never as good.

rod stewart?
Y'know, his version "Downtown Train" is just worthless, and I bet Tom thanks him mentally every time he cashes another royalty check.

The only possible good thing to come from his cover of Downtown Train is that I heard it kept the Bob Seger version from being released.

wouldn't mind if the walkmen made an attempt at covering waits.
We go 0 to Dennehy in three seconds or less.
