Writing

I have to write this essay about what artist would i spend with for an afternoon. I tried thinking of some that were in the fine arts area, but none of them really striked me as being someone i want to spend an afternoon with. So i thought up of people who i really get inspired by, Musicians. And of course i picked Thomas Alan Waits. But why not pick him. He's strange, corky, and a genius in a way (more than Kanye West). His music either points in the directions of hate or love in your brain, and fortunately I'm not pointing towards hate. His story's are clever and absolutely hilarious because you never know whats true and what isn't. And if it's not true, you'll believe it anyway. So if i had to pick an artist to spend an afternoon with it will be Tom Waits. But most likely i would just let him talk the whole time, while he's fooling around on the piano.

Listen to his stories "Tom Tales" and "Missing My Son" or "Big Joe and phantom 309"
