music is my happy place

Oh, man. I recently got 14 Tom Waits CDs. I'm on 'Heartattack and Vine' now, and wondering how the hell I made it through 27 years without having heard any of this.

I am so in love. Gritty, filthy love. LOL

Favorite lines at the moment:

it's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down, i want to hold you in my
arms i want to push you around, i want to break your bottle and spill out all
your charms, come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms, goin' downtown
down downtown. -'Downtown'

boney's high on china white, shorty found a punk, don't you know there ain't
no devil, there's just god when he's drunk, well this stuff will probably kill
you, let's do another line, what you say you meet me down on heartattack and
vine. -'Heartattack and Vine'

Oh, yeah.

Do you have Blood Money? Alice?
And I adore "Looks Like I'm up Shit Creek Again" It could be my theme song.

Yes, and yes. I've been listening to him non-stop for about a week now.

He's now joined my personal pantheon of singer-songwriters right alongside Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Jackson Browne.
