I have been a Tom Waits fan forever

One of the greatest events of my life, in Phoenix,AZ having a shitty day at work, upset that I didn't blow my budget on a $200.00 ticket for the first night of the Pehdstcajumba tour. Having a weird feeling and checking Craigslist one last time for a ticket, and an ad posted, 3 hours before showtime, someone looking to give away an extra ticket to a True Tom Waits fan, to send a message explaining why I should receive the ticket. Pouring my soul in a response to the ad, 30 minutes go by and my phone rings, and yes, I had won that extra ticket. My life was changed that night, finally got to see the legend take away a packed house at the beautiful Orphueum theater on a musical journey. Pure Magic.Thank you Tom, Thank You.

Oh buddy... Will you ever tour again? New Zealand needs you. I need you. :(

I feel like I understand Tom's deeper meaning, while no one else does. You probably feel the same.

It was such a magical show to witness. Glad I had the opportunity to be there. It was in Jones Hall Houston Texas an opera and symphony venue.

Holy Moly! Wow! Did not know WHERE the heck Tom was going with this one... then, BOOM! The profound nature of the words hits with the weight of a Steam Train gone nuclear! Wow! THIS guy can SEE sh*t, ole Tom can! He's 5D Chessin' it with this one! Bravo! Now?! Now, gotta rewatch the vid. The marrow of my bones heard Crystal clear, but my ears appear to need another go, because the ole mind does not yet fully understand the words...;)

One of my favorites was Had a Good Home But I Left. And Last Leaf On The Tree. Hardly a song he ever made, I did not find worth listening to. Oh, and Jesus Gonna Be Here too. Great music, Oh and God's Away On Business, mentioned in this interview. All of it was great. The reference to the little girl and him being a "cherry bomb" and a "clown." Can't understand this shit at all. It is called symbolism my friend and his songs are full of symbolism. That is why I know his words were intentional and on the "dark side" for sure.
