Tom Waits 'Invitation to the Blues' LIVE at the REX

[thelaughingcat]

Excellent. I was at this concert in Paris. I distinctly remember because he was about to play The Ghosts Of Saturday Night but then changed his mind and played this instead.... glad he did...

Tom Wait’s work reflects an international and distinct post WWII era of art. Generations from the 1960’s through 2011 continue to appreciate him from Paris to Prague to London to Belgrade to NYC to mid-western American culture…..(sort of like the international appreciation of Anton Chekhov that occurred in the early 1900's – unfortunately after Chekhov's life ended – i.e. 1860 – 1904).

Τόσο συναισθηματικό...Απλά τέλειο

Tom Waits is the greatest artist who has ever lived. He lets us know that it's okay to live. Okay to dream, and be depressed, and strive towards our goals even when they seem impossible. He gives me hope even when it's all fallen apart. He lets me know it's alright to fail. And that failure doesn't make me a lesser man. He gives me this sense of love, and hope; even when those closest to me have lost that, and given me up for worthless.

The Greeks for no apparent reason love Waits. This is another brilliant poem in it's own right, I think he's the best poet since Homer.... hey maybe that's the connection, hmmm.!
