Re: TEst


Vet- Great vid. Tom is the bomb! I hope Weed watches; he'd love the little dance schtick. I really dig his shoes.

Slack - WTF? Who is that girl with the fine motor skills? And who is the doof with the big dog? Is that the German group Danzig?

Music is like beer... everybody has their flavor. Honestly, Tom's just a brand I don't like. emoticon

I will say, however, that he's one hell of an actor and his scene in Dracula when he yells, "Dr. Jack! I'm not an insane man! I'm a man in a battle for his SOUL!" ...or something to that effect. Awesome. emoticon

Re: TEst


Awww, Vet. It's like a little bit 'o Xmas when you do this. I spent my Sunday morning watching these. Down in the hole, man. Down in the hole.

Why is Waits so underappreciated? His lyrics are on a par with, if not more evocative than, Dylans. His theatrics are superb and a show in themselves. He is a real performance artist and an American treasure, IMHO. He wipes off the greasy glass of American pop kulture and fogs up the bathroom mirror of American iconics and advertising hype. I love it when he does **** like use a shop lamp for illumination, or sing through a bull horn.

This is our real American poet laureate, dude.

"I spent all my money,
in a Mexican whorehouse
across the street from a Catholic Church.
Then I wiped off my revolver, and buttond up my burgundy shirt."

Thank you, sir, for posting these.

Nicely put Scuff. I made a Tom Waits channel for Pandora and they play some good Dylan tunes on there.
