TW cleaned up and sobered up about 15 years ago, as far as I know. He doesn't shout about it from the houses, but makes no secret of it either.
REALLY?! Tom Waits is sober?! He still sounds like he's gargling whiskey and asphault. For some reason I find a lot of encouragement in finding out people I've liked/admired are sober. He's a surprising one though.
