Tom Waits - On The Nickel

Beautiful..........Absolutely Beautiful !

Great,darn Tom Waits is great to listen to,every once in a while I do.He just has that strong growly voice that makes me come back,Ok I'll shut up,oh On The Nickle,oh On The Nickle.

I had a few drinks with Tom Waits in a little bar in Atlantic City, summer of 84. The bar is still there, but its covered up by a parking garage now across from Caesars.

A great song first released in 1980, the time when Tom Waits was composing a lot of ballads. It is amazing how he had the courage to explore more non-conventional ways of writing music as he aged and become one of the most original artists of the past 30 years. If I were given the chance to attend only one live concert in my life, it would the his.
