I saw Tom Waits a couple of times back in the 1970s. Back then his shows cost about $6 (the equivalent of 11 cents today), and he was trying to make a name for himself. He tried hard. He even had a streetlamp on stage that he used to lean against on some numbers, to give things just the right feeling.
But you know what? He was a shitty singer back then, and he's gotten worse. He was a good songwriter back then, but now he just writes nonsense. He used to always perform drunk, but he quit drinking a few years ago, and it made him more erratic and peculiar.
I sat behind him a few years ago at an Eddie Izzard show, and honestly, the guy has a head like a sack of potatoes, and he smells like a barnyard.
So, save your money, and give it a pass. He'll only break your heart with his squandered talent.
- So can you recommend a reasonable joint to stay in then? ;)JerseyRaindog
