My Son said the Musical breaks in this tune sounded like it was from an old western.🤣

I definitely hear some "Beefheart" in this. Maybe it's just me.

The Black Rider

With arch campness and a decidedly Brechtian flair, Waits delivers a brilliant cabaret performance on this title track, quite unlike anything he’d done before. Yet despite all this it unmistakably, irresistibly Waits.

This is the ONLY idea I can remember agreeing with Trump on.

Term Limits for Congress:

House of Representatives: A maximum of three terms (6 years total).

U.S. Senate: A maximum of two terms (12 years total).

Now add Supreme Court limits, and I'm in!

Love this song (and so many of Tom's songs), but "Take Care of all of My Children" from the hauting film, " Streetwise," is my very favorite.

2nd paragraph - utter horseshit

Eff the Wall Street economists: when you do not have data about economic conditions, you simply do not KNOW how economic conditions are.

The economy is flying blind, and when you fly blind, you usually fly the plane right into the side of a mountain

Don't believe ANY polls on the economy.

Regardless of what you have been led to believe, the economy is really NOT based on how people "feel"

An "Old Time Style" Love letter to his wife, its beauty is in it's simplicity.

The musical break is absolute musical PERFECTION!

Was "covered" by Willie Nelson & Norah Jones on album and Pearl Jam Live.

For those with the time to "waste" 28 minutes on.😁🤣

Here's an episode of "Fishing with John" with Tom Waits as the guest.

It's an absurdist fishing show that John Lurie filmed several episodes with different guests including Dennis Hopper.

The opening track to the "Foreign Affairs" album, Bones Howe said Tom wanted the album to be like a B&W movie. The strings are wonderful.

15. (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night

Lovely track from the jazzy, barfly-ish The Heart of Saturday Night. Miles away from where he would end up, but a classic nonetheless.
