Tom Waits Top 10 List
Stylus Magazine has put out a Top 10 list about the Nightmares of Tom Waits which is really about all of the really odd visuals from the songs of Waits:
“It’s one of those dreams where everyone you never wanted to see again, showed up,” Tom Waits once told an audience in his 1988 concert movie, Big Time. “It’s Uncle Phil. Shit, I owe him money! ” He spoke of the street corner Ninth and Hennepin, as a place where “all the donuts have names that sound like prostitutes,”with a flophouse where “all the rooms, they smell like diesel,” and “you take on the dreams of the ones who slept there.” Waits describes it all in his famous growl that’s oiled in cheap bourbon, L.A. smog, and scars from endless nights of hollering at the devil in SRO hotel rooms. And somehow he still makes you wish you were there with him.
