it took me years to listen to tom waits again without feeling unbearably sad. it's why i missed his concert before last one in paris, although i really wanted to go i knew i would cry the whole time. of all the musicians who marked the story of my greatest love, he did the most. the fact that i kept listening to him despite it is a tribute to his genius. there are a few bands that i just couldn't listen to anymore after a breakup.
