Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis

[Deadtrees]

Isn't this the greatest Christmas song ever?

Now that Christmas is coming and having been to Minneapolis around this time,
this is just the perfect time to listen to this amazing song.

If you haven't, you must listen to it.

Here's a link where you can listen to it. Nevermind the broken letters, just hit play.

I have such a man crush on Tom Waits, that man is awesome.

<--- Tom Waits fanatic

I'm still listening to his 70s material, haven't worked up to his 80s experiments or his 90s/2000s items yet. Asked for Orphans for Christmas.

and he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby
and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
and he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
and he takes me out dancin
every saturday nite.

and hey Charley I think about you
everytime I pass a fillin' station
on account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
and I still have that record
of little anthony & the imperials
but someone stole my record player
how do you like that?

"All my friends are married, every Tom and Dick and Harry..."

Waits is a God!

Got Orphans for Christmas.

Only a few songs into Brawlers but it's friggen amazing.


I got to see him at the Louisville stop of the last tour, still haven't found a recording from that night, but it was unbelievable.

Tom Waits is one of the great songwriters and performers.

It's too bad his Big Time concert / performance art piece isn't out on DVD, if you ever notice it in your TV listings it's well worth seeing.
