Only the most incredibly awesome singer/songwriter dude that no one ever told me about.
Think Rowlf the Dog from the Muppets, only after The Muppet Show went off the air, leaving him out-of-work and getting only a few gigs at dank Lower East Side piano bars, often capping the night with a fifth of cheap bourbon and waking up in some grungy hotel room with women of ill repute.
"Nighthawks at the Diner". There is a concert from about that same era at Wolfgang's Vault. That's Elvira on the cover of his Small Change album. Didn't you know he sang "Only the Innocent Dream" during the closing credits of "Smoke".

And I'm happy to no longer be somebody who doesn't know Tom Waits.
