Tom Waits 12-21-1983 pt.2 On The Nickel

Tom was ahead of the curve when he wrote of the plight of the homeless in 1980. Unfortunately this song is still pertinent as homelessness is on the rise........ the song that the kid took to class was "pasties and a g-string" about living with strippers.

You hit the nail on th ehead

This rendition still gives me goosebumps after countless listens

yet another great one.

takes your breath away, still.

I like this one. It's for all those who've been down, out, and around back.

one of my favorite and most influencial artisitic figures in my life..tom you are truly a genious

oh my god, I had forgotten how this song affects me.
what a passionate rendition from the master of them all!
I got the chills, my hairs stood on end, the tears were unbidden, Tom you are truly an american poet, straight from the heart!
