Summary
Jay Jacobs: The Wild Years
Tom Waits - Music and Myth
The Wild Years is a moving celebration of one man and his myths.

He is a great poet of those whose fortunes have turned their backs. He is a creator of fairy tales and false histories, a persistent prankster, a born entertainer, a respected film actor, a man who makes music in a garage.

I must admit that many of the things described in the following chapters probably never happened. But it is important to understand that they are still vital pieces of the puzzle that is Tom Waits. woke up without knowing where he was. Stories about his endeavors are often firmly rooted in truth. And even when they aren't, they really should be..."
