Tom Waits for no one! He is the most versatile, wildly dynamic songwriter and performer of musical theatre of all time! My biggest influence, bar none!!! Plus he's successfully reinvented himself, and is more "himself" than he was when he primarily portrayed the vintage barfly character... Now he's anything and anyone he wants to be... God bless his wife, Kathleen, for giving him the support to cross that creative bridge! I love them both!
Guys, I drank 7 gallons of whiskey and smoked a carton of cigarettes this week. I still don't sound like this. Trying a gravel smoothie now, I'll let you know how it goes.
Bro, you forgot about the most important part - eating two pounds of one inch long concrete nails. How do I know? Lemmy Kilmister used to do that and it worked!
Lyrics Check this strange beverage fall out from the sky Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes He's high ‘n outside wearin' candy apple red Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head With a pint of green Chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right You buy the.. Sunday paper on a Saturday night! Can't you hear the thunder? Someone stole my watch I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch Someone tell those Chinamen on Telegraph Canyon Road When you're on the bill with the spoon, there ain't no time to unload So bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye Droopy stranger, lonely dreamer, toy puppy and the Prado We're laughin' as they piled into Olmos' El Dorado Jesus whispered, "Eni meany meany miney moe" They're too proud to duck their heads that's why they bring it down so low So bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye Pointed man smack dab in the middle of July Swingin' from the rafters in his brand new tie He said, "I can't go back to that hotel room, all they do is shout But listen baby, I'll stay wichew 'til the money runs out" So bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye, bye bye, bye Bye, bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye Bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye Check this strange beverage fall out from the sky Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes He's high and outside wearin' candy apple red Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head With a pint of green Chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right You buy the Sunday paper on a Saturday night Bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye Bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
I remember when I went to sale my blood,was needing twenty dollars and they looked at me and said how much do you weigh? I'm like 95 pounds only five foot two,they said you had to weigh 120 lbs pounds to sell blood,what a bummer that was.
Every ounce of this man's being just exudes cool! And at the same time, watching his performances from just a few years later, here he seems somehow so awkward. Like, it's an instrumental break and he just paces around scratching the back of his head, vs in shows like Big Time where he goes the whole nine yards with lights and sirens, and that whole lead-singer weirdness. He really came into his performance boots in such a short time. Love him either way! Always been a genius.
I know a "nope"sayer... Who DARED to delete this masterpiece from my public account....!!!! A mad hacker... Who has no idea if what s precious in Life (particularly, when gone....!!!!) *REVOLTING*!!!!!!!!!
"Cantcha hear the thunder SOMEONE STOLE MY WATCH! I sold a quart of blood a bought a half a pint scotch. Someone tell the Chinamen out on Telegraph Canyon Road when you wanna deal with the spoon there ain't no time to unload."
Funny how I once thought he was cool till he spoked on the political front I haven't listened him since one goes out and I found twenty more cooler then drapes
I used to think Mr Waits was the worlds greatest artist - now I know he is
I used to think that your mother was a worlds greatest.....now I know she's not!
Tom Waits for no one!

Exactly. He has his own damned universe!

HAHAAHAH Did it work???
ArthBu He's silent so maybe it worked TOO well.
You need to gargle with the broken glass of an empty Jim Beam bottle.
FRANKENSTEIN WISHES HE HAD THIS VOICE.....
Bro, you forgot about the most important part - eating two pounds of one inch long concrete nails. How do I know? Lemmy Kilmister used to do that and it worked!
You either love him or not. Tom panders to no one. Great sax. Can't get enough of this.
Thought you wrote " great sex". Still works.
A bit of Buddy Love. There!
Tom Waits is a symbol of Testicular fortitude. He's ALWAYS at his Prime..
Cool in the dictionary should just link to this.
Lyrics
Check this
strange beverage fall out from the sky
Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes
He's high ‘n outside wearin' candy apple red
Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head
With a pint of green Chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right
You buy the.. Sunday paper on a Saturday night!
Can't you hear the thunder?
Someone stole my watch
I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch
Someone tell those Chinamen on Telegraph Canyon Road
When you're on the bill with the spoon, there ain't no time to unload
So bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Droopy stranger, lonely dreamer, toy puppy and the Prado
We're laughin' as they piled into Olmos' El Dorado
Jesus whispered, "Eni meany meany miney moe"
They're too proud to duck their heads that's why they bring it down so low
So bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Pointed man smack dab in the middle of July
Swingin' from the rafters in his brand new tie
He said, "I can't go back to that hotel room, all they do is shout
But listen baby, I'll stay wichew 'til the money runs out"
So bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye, bye bye, bye
Bye, bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Check this strange beverage fall out from the sky
Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes
He's high and outside wearin' candy apple red
Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head
With a pint of green Chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right
You buy the Sunday paper on a Saturday night
Bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Bye bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Thanks for the lyrics 💙

boy! when he discards that match over his shoulder i just want to be a smoker forever (and i have never smoked). i
Still fantastic in 2021! Classic Waits. God, I love this guy,....
Tom Waits is seriously the coolest, I would have killed to be a fly on the wall watching his performance 🐜 *me*
Most under rated undervalued artis of his time perfection
Great band backing him keys r smokin
You can not understand a word Tom Waits is singing and still think he's the coolest guy on the planet .
jesus whispered eeni meeni meeni mieni mo
I'm pretty good at knowing what he's singing but it's because I listen to him everyday for forty years.

Hey! I know this is a very late reply to your comment but do you think drug use during this time period had anything to do with it?

A lot of people try to be spokenword artists these day's. Here's one for you all youngsters!
UNBANANALIEVABLE VIDEO of EARLY YEARS of THE KING TOM WAITS .... WE LOVE IT
The way he exists himself is against the existance, amazing and beaitiful.
it is like a big train coming ! all about rithm, amazing barking music, this guy is the essence of music
Four years before I was born, just killin' it
This video always shows up exactly when I need it.

Great performance man!
GEEEEEEEEZ
How much I do love him !!!!
Mr waits and the promises of almighty god are enough for me to even want to put up with this batshit crazy world. I AM DEAD SERIOUS.................
Tom Waits is real, your god is a Jewish myth...
♾✨🙏✨♾
@@SmackWaterMack001 good luck with that !
@@rgball1960
No luck required. Your beliefs are silly and stem from childhood indoctrination, intellectual laziness and profound ignorance....
That's the truth for sure!
Have ya got any more songs from this concert?
Tom is a perfect mix of single malt scotch and LSD
YES
A blast from the past.
I know a "nope"sayer... Who DARED to delete this masterpiece from my public account....!!!!
A mad hacker... Who has no idea if what s precious in Life (particularly, when gone....!!!!)
*REVOLTING*!!!!!!!!!

Where was this performance filmed? What year so I can find the whole thing?
Theatre le Palace, 1979
Bukowski cool..
what kind of cigs are those
Sicaari Old Golds of course
Mr. Chesterfield or Lucky Strikes
I like to hang out in diners like Tom, just not as cool 😎
yeah, I know now why the lyrics smell like bourbon and lucky strikes...
He is the reason those two things of my favourite things in the world
Making chain smoking cool again. Hahahahahahahaha
Probably smoking 60 a day and the guy's got the lungs of bagpipes
Funny how I once thought he was cool till he spoked on the political front I haven't listened him since one goes out and I found twenty more cooler then drapes
his true name is Beelzebub.
