Will he tour again? Will he release anymore music? Where does he shop for hats?
-
He's one of the artists my wife forbids me to play in the house because she detests him so much. But recently i played some of his early stuff and she totally didn't recognize it was him.

Closing Time (to me) is like night and day compared to later material.
Fun Fact: His tour for Closing Time's first stop was the Cellar Door in DC

My girlfriend finds his early stuff boring and her only reaction to his newer material is that she wishes someone would get him some water.
-
I have the very rare Digi-pak issue of Rain Dogs.
-
I love him. I still haven't seen him.
-
Yeah, his style in the 70s was this gravel-voiced crooner channeling Bukowski, and then in the 80s he became this odd carnival barker playing music at a junkyard. Hey, it kept him relevant.

Will he tour again?
let's hope so, the show i saw in knoxville was the best show of anyone i have every witnessed.
$85.00 well spent.
i feel for that guy in n. korea when i remember how i got this poster.

to date, one of my precious musical moments was going to Chicago to see tom at some grand theater ...two rows away dead center on the Mule tour
3/4s of the way in the set , ribot takes a break and some solo piano songs start
I yell out Old 55 ...and that was the next song he played
not sure at all if my shout and was his inspiration, but I'd like to think it was so
BTW hutch was supposed to join me at that show, can't remember his excuse was

I was there..shitty seats... bad sight line...
anyways, seeing him once was enough for me.... love Tom Waits but I'd need a time machine to 1975 or so to see the Tom Wait shows I'm interested in... unless I'm wrong he hasn't played a DC area show in probably over 30 years...
I'm actually not that interested in any new Waits music... he's been letting his wife Kathleen Brennan co-write too many of the songs and its just not that interesting for me....very predictable....I also get the sense his heart is no longer in making music or performing so whats the point?
the Orphans box is pretty cool though...and Mule Variations is great..I guess the last one was kind of cool too now that I think about it...but I don't go back to it.. I like all his stuff but when I want to go back and listen to Waits its almost always the 70s records....the first two and Nighthawks are my favorites
Tom Waits is one of those guys I used to listen to a lot more than I do now...
-
I'd just as soon see Steve Earle. Is that the same thing?
-
it's becoming clear not only my short term, but also my long term is fading
seems I'm razor sharp on certain memories, but others...just fade away

All I can think about with this poster is Dale Gribble's "pocket sand" incident in King of the Hill.
