Singer/songwriter/actor Tom Waits is described in the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll (Simon & Schuster, 2001) as "a one-man beatnik revival." That magazine also ranked him #90 on their list of the all-time Greatest Rock Artists. The encyclopedia goes on to say, "He generally appears with a cap pulled over his brow, a cigarette dangling from his stubbled face, talk-singing and/or mumbling jive in a cancerous growl to the accompaniment of cool saxophone jazz; he also writes romantic ballads."..."He grew up in California, where he listened to Bing Crosby, Stephen Foster parlor songs, and George Gershwin. He also developed an intense admiration for, and identification with, such Beat writers as Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski." Find out in this quiz how many tidbits of trivia regarding Tom Waits you knew about. And if possible please rate the quiz afterwards. Thanks! and, Best Wishes, Bill
