  2. (^^^ Wasn't this post intended to be a Christmas shout-out,
    and not meant to impune anyone?)

    Or Dave Matthews.
    I can't explain why his concerts are fun, they just are.
    But Waitts is iconic. That voice of rocks suits his material

  3. Yes, uglyblackjohn, I just wanted to share some apt Tom Waits, not cast aspersions and such. Glad you liked it.

    Lorraine, I agree, that's a thing that white people often do (though rarely about other white people).

  4. I see blues in this song's lyrics. (I needed to find a lyrics to see what he is singing.) It reminds me of Langston Hughes' poems, especially "Madam" poems.

    Funny, but sad, but funny, but sad, and on....

  6. Hi Macon - Looks like you're on vacation or taking a break. Hope you're having a relaxing and good time with your fam.

    I love that song by Tom Waits, and I have over half of his collection... yeah, my taste in music runs a wide range, and Waits is truly unique. Take care, Kit
