Tom Waits on tour
"We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky," Waits said in a press release.
Tom Waits is coming to the south. Nashville, Atlanta, you name it. Please, please let me know if you know anything about getting tickets.
Oh, and if you like Tom Waits, you should check out my friend Lauris Vidal. He's like a really interesting mix of Tom Waits, M. Ward, and I'm not sure who else. And he's touring the south too, btw...
Ugghh!! I am SO jealous! Waits would never come to a place like Phila.
This really is the month for my "big three" -- last night, I saw the movie Nick Cave wrote, and the documentary about Leanord Cohen comes out here in mid-July. Now I'm longing for the South in a whole different way.

i do believe he's playing in brooklyn too, this monday, with kelly mcrae. maybe i'll get a babysitter. the two of them playing together would be too good to pass up.
