* His break with Asylum and his dramatic reinvention after his collaboration with and marriage to Kathleen Brenan. (Also counts as SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic)
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnRyF-nqgTo Spacious Thoughts,]]" his recent collaboration with Music/KoolKeith on N.A.S.A.'s ''The Spirit of Apollo''.
** Winning several lawsuits over the use of his songs in advertisements (which he hates, apparently)...and donating the money he got out of them to ''charity''.
** His 2011 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
* His incredible spoken word section on "[[https://youtu.be/r4OhIU-PmB8?si=rp_pDMxJhs_FiUoH Tommy The Cat]]" by Music/{{Primus}} - even Waits isn't sure how he managed to speak so fast.
