Over two decades ago, my dad and I were driving around Manhattan. He played Tom Waits all the time, when other kids' dads played Elvis. I asked him why he didn't listen to Elvis as much as them. He said, "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who know Tom Waits, and those who don't. That's how you distinguish the lucky people from the unlucky ones." It's 20 years later, and that's still the wisest thing I ever heard about Mr. Waits.

Who the fuck could possibly "dislike" this? 27 idiots with no taste, that's who.

日本語のコメントがないのは、なぜ？こんなにいいミュウジシャン­が４０年前に仙台でライブを行ったのを、おぼえていますか？とっ­ても気さくな人でしたよ。

Behind your comments 100%. Closing time was brilliant!  I saw him do it back in the day. Those songs made a direct connection to my heart. Beautiful word images of the night, its inhabitants and love, all tangled in reality.
