8/22/09: Tom and Bob

Tom Waits and Bob Dylan.  They are my ever growing obsession.  With every listen, I hear something new and I get a different meaning out of it.  

I have just begun to listen to all of their music since they both have a large discography, but I can safely say that I am a big fan.  I'm one step away from buying some bios on them, but sometimes I like to appreciate the music for what it is rather than possibly spoiling it from learning where they were in their life when they wrote it.  But then again, it could be even more pleasurable to know these things.  Who knows.  All I know is that they are two amazing artists that just ring true to my ears these days.

On another note, I hope you have all seen the trailer for The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.  It's the new Terry Gilliam movie.  It looks crazy, and I love it even more because Tom Waits is in it.  

If you haven't go here.  Hopefully this link still works:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXv9Kgb59xM
