An American singer, songwriter and poet, Waits is best known for his low, gravelly voice and offbeat lyrics. Having been quoted as saying "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy," (originally quipped by Dorothy Parker) and "I don't have a drinking problem 'cept when I can't get a drink," much of his lyrical subject matter also revolves around liquor and the drunkard's lifestyle.
