"That is, they both craft aesthetic personas to tell stories that make the trashy glamorous in a quintessentially American way—LDR as the 'hip-hop Nancy Sinatra' and Tom Waits as the Bukowski-meets-Captain-Beefheart Beat poet barfly."
"For some reason I'm on a Tom Waits kick atm and I got to thinking how he and Lana, in many ways, artistically do the exact same thing"

"I don't have to worry about waking up and sounding like Tom Waits after bumming a pack worth of cigs off random people the night before and drinking a fifth of liquor."
