As far as crossword clues go, that one is way beyond me, but at least I can tell you who Tom Waits is. He's a singer with a gruff voice who does deliciously weird and macabre songs. (My favorite is "God's Away on Business.") He's also appeared in a few movies, such as "Mystery Men," "Down By Law," and "The Cotton Club."
