[net.music] Tom Waits and John Wait

There are two musicians whose names are similar, but have little in common

John Wait - he's the one with the current single "Missing You", and
	is a former member of the group "The Babys", I think

Tom Waits - The only songs of his that I've heard are cover versions:
		Jersey Girl (on the flip side of Cover Me) by Springsteen
		A New Coat of Paint - on Southside Johnny's new album
	(Also, Tom Waits is married to Rickie Lee Jones)

I don't believe Tom Waits is married to Ricki Lee Jones.
Perhaps at one time they were (but i don't think so),
I read that they had split up a while ago.
Does anyone know about this for sure?

Tom Waits is not married to Rickie Lee Jones. They were onetime lovers, but
no more..

tom waits was going out with rickie lee jones many years ago (1976?)
he is NOT married to her and never has been.  if you look at tom waits
album "blue valentine" you will see rickie lee jones posing for the
cover and back photos.  this is a very depressing album made when tom
had just broken up with rickie.

 The song by Tom Waits called "In the Neighborhood" has a rather unusual
video seen occasionally on non-Music TeleVision (yhey don't call it the boob
tube for nothing). Anybody know where I can either get the 45 or the album
titled "Swordfishtrombones"?
