Tom Waits is a bizarre genius. Put the guy in a room with 30 different musical instruments, and the next day there's a unique album. 'Downtown Train'.
Waits recently did a really small number of gigs throughout the midwest. Of course, tickets sold out immediately. Tom's official reason for the tour, "We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky."
saw him in dc at the warner theater. the video of the show is called big time. i've got rain dogs in the cd player in my qv right now.
