Incredible in that way that only Tom Waits can manage!

I know I heard this somewhere else...Oh wait, it was my post:

It is brilliant is it not?

That was great.

sorry contrabandwitdth!

brilliant for sure, like you. : )

ha! i wonder what he thinks about all those new scarlett johansen songs? wait, that reminds me....i don't know what i think of them either. haven't really heard them yet. kind of don't want to.

LOL !!! That was classic ...

ciecierega,

good question! i wonder too.

why isn't he playing in california????? his home town. wahhahahhah

...and a good actor as well.

Haha that was rich. In the 12 years I've lived here I haven't seen him perform locally in Sonoma County. Not sure why that is though.

Hmmm... Phoenix isn't too far from where I live... and that concert is right after my high school graduation.

I sense an epic road trip in the near future...

Speechless with wonder and awe. The record player at the end is just perfect.

Btw, I don't think you can really take what Tom says seriously. Sure he's a way talented artist but he also seems to like to put on facades & keep his audience guessing from what I've seen over the years.

Tom is a pure American classic. Has anyone ever heard him perform "Hi-Ho"? A complete 180 from "Martha".

To Augusts: I read an article on a musician some years ago who was working with Waits. This guy opened himself up on stage in a very naked way. After watching him perform, Waits said words to the effect, 'Are you sure you want to show people who you really are? That can gte you hurt.'

Interesting statement.

i can guarantee that if he dated my mom....homeboy did not get laid. honestly, i have NEVER understood this dude, his talent, or anyone who thinks he's good live.

kev dog,

i didn't either for a long time. i've got a tune i'll send ya that will change it for you.
