Tom Waits for everyone
Glitter and Doom: Tom Waits in Concert. Hear A Stunning Performance, Recorded At Atlanta’s Fox Theater, July 5, 2008. 2 hours 20 minutes. Â
I must admit, before meeting Tom, I had heard so many rumors and so much gossip that I was afraid. Frankly, his gambling debts, his animal magnetism, coupled with his disregard for the feelings of others… His elaborate gun collection, his mad shopping sprees, the facelifts, the ski trips, the drug busts and the hundreds of rooms in his home. The tax shelters, the public urination… I was nervous to meet the real man himself. Baggage and all. But I found him to be gentle, intelligent, open, bright, helpful, humorous, brave, audacious, loquacious, clean, and reverent. A Boy Scout, really (and a giant of a man). Join me now for a rare glimpse into the heart of Tom Waits. Remove your shoes and no smoking, please.  Read Tom Waits’ interview with Tom Waits. Â

Speaking of Tom Waits, what do you think about Scarlett Johanssen’s ballsy effort to cover some of his work in her debut CD? Don’t you think she should rather stick to her day job?
