Tom Waits
Went to see Tom Waits on Friday night in the Phoenix Park. Sweet-fucking-Jesus-having-a-wank-up-on-the-cross was it amazing. He came on at 8.25pm and played until after 11. Just brilliant with a nice mix of old numbers and his later brand of insane, grinding, fucked up noise.
Found this footage on youtube, sound quality is pretty awful.
When he played Tom Traubert’s Blues the audience creamed their jeans (even the women!).
This is from 1977 . . .

Always with the supreme-being-masturbation. It’s a disease, I think, a disease of the mind.

Everyone knows Jesus loved a tug. What do you think he was doing in that cave for three days?
