Ahhhh Shhhiiizzzztttiiittt!!!Tom Waits is going on tour!!
I'm getting tickets where ever I can and buying a plane ticket!!!!A very funny & true story: I was dating a girl when I first moved to SF 8 years ago. Her aunt met Tom Waits when she was working on Bram Stoker's Dracula (Tom Played R.M. Renfield). Her aunt moved to Sebastopol a few years later a few doors down from Tom & his family. So my girlfriend invites me to her aunt's birthday BBQ. We show up and mingle. I'm standing in line for food and start talking to this crazy looking guy. We exchange a few words and I ask him who he knows at the party. "Oh, I'm friends with the birthday girl." He says. I reply: "Cool. I'm dating her niece. I'm Joe. What's your name?" "Uh, Tom...""Nice to meet you. What's your story? What do you do?"He looks at me for a second and says, "Well, I play music.""Cool, me, too. What do you play? Do ya got a band?"At this point he realizes I've never heard of him. So we end up talking through out the day. In the car on the way back home, my girlfriend asks me if I knew who I was talking to. "Yeah, Tom Waits. Nice Guy. Kinda out there."She quickly schooled me just who Tom Waits was. He became one of my biggest influences. True Story.
