The soundtrack of a Republican convention? Really? And "Give Peace A Chance" the soundtrack of the fucking Bush?

Fucking genius ! ! !

Nobel Prize? It's not good enough for Waits. It's a joke. They gave it to Obama before he ever did anything worth commending.

FUCKING AWESOME, NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT!!!!

O.O

I got chills and almost came

@RichardMNixon I agree. Why he didn't just release this Atlanta show as his live "Glitter and Doom" album is beyond me. The version on NPR is amazing. And I am very sad I can't buy this version of "Hoist That Rag" online. The instrumentalists are perfect on this version.

Amazing.

@EasternFlowers Go to npr.org and search for Glitter and Doom (sorry, I have the exact link, but seems not to be able to post it here... )



GENIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why he doesn't get a nobel prize still puzzles me. If nobody's been doing shit in physics this year, just give it to tom! =)
the solos were amazing. the guitar playing was almost as good as the album solo bij marc ribot, and the piano & sax were also fabulous.
has there ever been a moment in his life where tom was NOT a genious musician?
TIP: read 'innocent when you dream', Tom's collected interviews!
