Jackson Rathbone Says Tom Waits 'Changed My Life' -- Music Appreciation

"I think the album that changed my life was Tom Wait's 'Mule Variations.' It really grabbed me and showed me what real musicianship and stepping out of the box was all about," 'Twilight' star Jackson Rathbone tells Spinner. Now touring with his playful, organic funk rock band 100 Monkeys, Rathbone emphatically hat tips both Tom Wait's experimental style and his wit: "Also, the lyrics -- it's something that's just deeper than talking about 'Oh, my girl left me.' It's like 'Oh, the sunshine left me, this... world has left me!'"
