I remember when I heard Ole 55 for the first time and particularly these “Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55 As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy God knows, I was feeling alive And now the sun's coming up I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger”

Coolest dang thing I’ve seen today 😌
I met Tom in 1999 at a gas station in Sebastopol CA, where he was living at the time. Drove an understated VW, had his signature hat on, coat and jeans. I said hi and he waived and nodded. Was exactly the type of reaction I knew he'd give. Very private individual. Sebastopol is uber liberal, quiet, tucked in the eastern edge of the northern California coastal ranges in the redwood empire. Just the kind of place you'd picture someone of Toms character would live. Love his music, been listening to it for decades, it was a sign for me to realize I moved to the right town, after my divorce. Great story! Thanks!

That is such a cool story! I actually had a similar meeting with him back in the day at Duke's coffee shop. I nodded and he nodded back. I was barely aware of who he was at the time but looking back it was worth a thousand words.
Wow. I am a huge Tom Waits fan, and I was smiling and laughing the entire time I was watching this. It was soo cool to see all these places he referenced in his songs. Thanks for putting this out. Loved it.

I didn't know that you were a fan, Nephew. Nada hates when I blast him but it has to be done from time to time. Its a Parsky requirement.
My name is Martha. A friend made signing for the deaf videos while dancing to songs. She did one for me, to Tom’s song “Martha”, which was also my ex boyfriend’s fave song. It was such an honor. I adore Tom and his music. What a unique, talented human being. He did a love song with Bette Midler. It was so romantic. I forget what it’s called.

I'm 4 years younger than Waits. He was born in 1949 and I was born in 1953. In his lyrics and writings always seemed to make me think he was much older than myself. Seeing him with long hair, in that photo you posted was a shocker.
Happy Birthday Tom! I was born at a very young age...

Finding Tom Waits was a wonderful Discovery. He and his music embodied The soul of the fifties and the beats. Everything seemed to come together, Found Chas Bukowski, Rickee Lee and it all reinforced each other. Toms' persona Was enetertaining but was suicidal and I'm glad he shook free. As an artist and musician he left his mark and is much Appreciated. Thanks for filling in some Personal history.

It's starting to dawn on me how appropriate Rock Essentials is as a title for this channel. I'm starting to feel like what you're doing isn't just awesome and fun and funny and interesting and insightful, it's _essential._ When you drop a video, a lot of folks now _hop on it,_ like they're afraid it might disappear if they don't watch it fast enough. No one is doing what you are doing for the West Coast scene and the artists that occupied it and made it what it was, like you are. Kinda _essential._

Great post as usual. However, The Eagles' cover of "Ol' 55" was on "On The Border" not "Desperado". It has long been my favorite "Eagles" song. Yet, Tom Waits' original is better. I loved it when Bette Midler performed "Martha" on "Saturday Night Live". Keep up the great work!

Nice one Tim. We saw him in Sydney in the late 70's at a theatre with worn out seats from the 1940's. Tom spent a lot of the night sitting in an old over stuffed lounge chair with a black and white TV under a moth eaten lamp stand. He'd roam over to a piano now and then all the time chain smoking. Just the best performance.

Now that is a cool story! I've never gotten to see him play live, was a broke musician back in those days. I did however live at the Tropicana Motel for a month or so and used to see him in the public phone booth almost every day.
I’d rather have a hot lead enema!!! I laughed right off the couch!! Thanks for another pro level video.
Fernwood Tonight was my introduction to Tom Waits, I was a big fan of the show. I really enjoyed his performance on the show, I loved his song, "The Piano Has Been Drinking," and the off-the-wall character he portrayed. Later, from time to time I'd hear one of his songs or see him in a bit part in a movie like, The Outsiders and Paradise Alley, he was on the Late Show with David Letterman many times and I came to appreciate him more as a singer/songwriter and actor. I really enjoyed this video; I learned some new things about Tom I didn't know, his childhood homelife and the fact that Rickie Lee Jones was once his girlfriend.

Fernwood was my introduction to his music too! I'd seen Tom around when I'd go to Duke's at the Tropicana but I had never heard him until Fernwood. I'd see Rickie Lee around town here and there. Besides being talented she was a pretty alluring young lady.

Tim he was kind of reclusive but when he did talk it was in that voice that smoked to many cigarettes. He was just up and coming struggling and broke. He did say he lived at Tropicana but he always looked like he lived in his car as it was full of stuff. He was always wearing the same clothes rather disheveled and mostly hung over but as I remember he was cool. My mom was good friends with his step mom Eda Waits although she was divorced from his dad. His dad was Frank Waits that taught at Belmont High in Hollywood. It was always a treat to see him pull up in the big black Cadillac and I will never forget that voice almost a growl!

1981-1983 Tom and Kathleen were my neighbors - in an upstairs Victorian house duplex complex in rear of 129 - 137 N. Union Ave, ( near Beverly BLVD), - (owned by Charles & Planaria Knill) 2 blocks south of Traveler Cafe on Temple Ave. The filming of "In the Neighborhood" was filmed in the Alley between Union Ave and Burlington, Ave.( the stretch between Beverly and W Court Street) -we had a neighbor who collected Studebakers. I watched being filmed one Tuesday morning at 9AM . The whole Victoria complex where we resided once housed nuns at the adjacent Catholic Church 1946- 1976 - when I moved in - Whole complex was leveled in 2008, and became a parking lot for Iglesia ni Christo Church next door. Tom was composing "One from the Heart" at that time. - Steve Conrad VGUITARFORUMS

A real treat for someone who knew and appreciated who he was.

Another place Waits frequented was the SW corner of Sunset Blvd. at Broadway, the edge of Chinatown. There was a Chinese restaurant where he parked his car in front of to sleep-off a drunk. It closed & remained vacant in the 90s. It is now a multi-apartment or condo with a CVS drug store.
That was a good one! Thank you, I really enjoyed it. And I'm so glad that Tom never lived in Laurel Canyon as I got to see his whole other vibe, his real-life, gritty hoods. I'd love to know more about Kathleen Brennan too, and her role in his music. Nice work!

Great video. I love Tom and know his stories and songs pretty well. All those places like Canters and Troubadour are familiar. The burrito place too is one I’ve been to but never realized it’s holiness. Tom lived a fairly black and white style existence in the Technicolor 70’s. Old cars, old clothes and old haunts. It rubbed off on his tunes and thank the gods he saw beyond Laurel Canyon. Like Bukowski, he found the beautiful in the most mundane details. It’s a pleasure to witness and there was never a better name than the Sewers of Paris. Why that went away with gentrification I’ll never understand.
