You didn’t think it possible to hear a hunk of $hit, did you?

Well, behold.

If I had the time I would work on a video project. It’s a simple one. I’d go to these protests where people have their placards and all I would do is point and laugh. Tear streaming laughter, with coughing, and losing one’s breath where you’re simultaneously enjoying yourself but fearful you may have a heart attack. That kind of laughing.

And that would be it.

It’s art, every bit as artful as this Tom Waits hunk of shit.

  1. I think Tom Waits must be dead. This was toooooo weird!

    I found ole Tom late in life and bought his limited photo book for chump change, which I can resell for almost twenty times purchase price…

    I do think he is “interesting.”

    I like this song, “Come on Up to the House” a lot:

    Oh well. ….Lady in Red

    PS: When I first heard the “House” song, I thought it was an aged black man singing…. …smile…

  5. Actually, I first heard this song (not the Tom Waits version) in the mini-series “Money Heist” (La Casa de Papel) from Spain. It is one of the nationalist resistance songs from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and is very beautiful – song by the resistance fighters in the hills of Spain.

  9. Got a tenner that says De Niro will find someplace to shove it into the soundtrack of his next movie.

    Waits, as much as I’ve liked some of this work (Heart Attack & Vine), he really shouldn’t be singing anymore. He was never very good at it, and in this, I don’t even think it qualifies. Someone should tell him there was only one Leonard Cohen.

  12. RoselandJ….. You are funny. I came to Leonard Cohen late in life, also. Gad, but the man is soooooooooooo sexy! Dance me to the End of Time….

    Hell, she tied him to a kitchen chair and….

    The sex, with overtones of God, are powerful: is woman God, asks Cohen?

    Listen to the “House” song by Waits. It is very good and, although I thought it was an old black spiritual, Waits wrote it. Yesh. It is powerful.

    We all have our day in the sun. Waits is — too obviously — long gone.

  16. Anyone else notice, now that the primaries are over nobody on the left is calling for the abolition of ICE?

    I just realized that watching the video. Those that won their party’s nomination on the left are going to try to run back to the center to pick up the undecided while dragging along the radicals who now have no other choice. How’s that beautiful revolution working out for you know lefties?

  26. used to actually enjoy some of Waits’ stuff back in the 70’s … a bit edgy, a bit pretentious & funny ….. now?

    “I used to be cool,
    Wasn’t nobody’s fool.
    Now, I’m just a tool.
    Tryin’ to be relatin’
    With those that be hatin’.
    But I’m just an old guy,
    Tryin’ to be fly. Cause I,
    Ain’t had a good TV experience
    Since that ‘Fernwood Tonight’ appearance.
    Selling my soul to foll’er,
    The Almighty Dollar.
    Got so low being a shill,
    For the Marxist propaganda mill.
    baaaah, …… hash browns”

    another ‘artist’ dead to me now …. RIP Tom Waits

  28. The only Leonard Cohen song I really like is Suzanne especially the haunting version sung by Judy Collins. The first time I heard it I was on my way home late one night back in 1970 on my AM/FM radio (non factory radio) in my 55 Chevy station wagon listening to our progressive radio station KREM FM. It’s funny how some songs stick with you after the first time you hear it. Mason Proffitt’s Two Hangman did the same thing.

  33. @AB,
    Those are David Johansen and Ron Perlman respectively….. That stated, first time I saw him on the big screen was with Tom Berenger in “At Play in the Fields of the Lord”, I also recognized him as the “Engineer” in “Book of Eli”. Turns out he has been in a ton of films over the years, most of which I have missed.

  34. Got a bonerfied hatred for tough guy Ron Perlman. A supreme chickens hit on twattwer. I’m pretty certain he called a few of his butt buddies, his anal allies, to get me permanently banned. Hope I come face to face sometime. He’ll soil himself.

  36. No way, the guy who drove the cab in Scrooged was that guy from the New York Dolls who went on to make “Hot Hot Hot”

    This tom Waites fellow needs to cut back on his sperm intake. Makes his voice sound all gravelly and slow and mumbley. Like snuffulupagus on cough medicine.

    However… I do know John Doe from “X” played the skeevy bartender that Patrick Swayzee fired for stealing in “Roadhouse”.

    C’mon, Roadhouse.

    Roadhouse is worth like, 20 of any other films. 30, if Roger Corman had anything to do with making them.
