Tom Waits: "Chocolate Jesus"

You know what just occurred to me? Heath Ledger based his Joker on Tom Waits... tell me what you think.

Steve Mason: "Am I Just a Man"

This album has really grown on me... Boys Outside is the name. This is not my favorite song, but it's pretty good. Earlier I posted the video for "Lost and Found", which might be my favorite song on the record...
