I don't think that there is a Tom Waits song out there that I don't like. However, some of the slower piano ones during the early years could've done without the orchestral arrangements backing them. For some of the songs, (Ex: Saving My Love For You) the strings worked so beautifully. On others, however, (Ex: Waltzing Mathilda, On the Nickle) the strings were just a little too much. The stripped down live versions are eternally superior. Just my opinion, though.

NOLA has been a sad, dirty, cesspool for centuries. Katrina just shined a light in its grime covered face. Waits wrote this tune nearly 40 years ago. The crime there now is a disgrace. FEMA has dumped billions into the corrupt hands of Nagin and posse. Its the price we pay for all of NOLA's flava.
if you don't know what you are talking about, do me a favor and shut the hell up, MORON!!!!!! Believe what you see on t.v. because, it's all the truth you need. Ignorant bastard!
master of bur, Listen you little pickle smoocher...I didnt formulate this opinion from a distance...I live it, I live in it. I am a victim of the corruption. Now go back to your xbox, and call me when you grow up.
This is great, I'm sure alot of people miss New Orleans, the way it was at one time. And this offers so comfort to those. The city is getting sooo bad, even those of us who live on the outskirts don't even want to go down there anymore due to crime.7 more murders today, so sad.

Indeed. He doesn't know that he helped out yet, though.

Having spent almost 6 months down in NOLA working for the American Red Cross after Katrina; this video sweeps me with emotion.
