  • One for every year he's away, she said

  • this is a beautiful poem. one of my faves.

  • 9th & Hennepin definitely isn't as scary today as it apparently was then! I'm guessing it had to do with the fact that Block E (6th/7th & Hennepin) used to be mostly "adult" businesses (they must not have been very classy), and now Block E has regular restaurants, businesses, etc. I'm guessing that whole area along Hennepin probably changed along with it. Still a lot of drugs around block E, though. In any case... Tom Waits is quite the poet.

  • anyone see down by law??

  • This is the scariest thing I've seen all day...I really haven't been listening to enough Tom Waits.

  • BIG TIME really should be released on DVD. Does anyone know if it has been?

  • Tom should make his own movie, write a book, or something. He's an amazing writer.

  • Long live the waits.

  • YAY MINNEAPOLIS!!

  • @TheSidewalkCipher 9th and Hennepin is a real intersection in Minneapolis. I visited Minneapolis in the mid 1990s, and out of curiosity decided to check out the area. It was largely cleaned up by then. Later on, I was told by a friend who's a Minnesota native that it used to be the red light district.
