I don't know if I'll be able to post while I'm en route, so here's a song to listen to while I'm gone, by the great Tom Waits.
Wonderful song.
Almost didn't make the album. Waits's daughter convinced him to put it in.
I got into Tom Waits about the same time as I got into Kate Bush (lost interest in her later). A friend of mine couldn't get into Tom. I explained it thus: Kate is all about "Isn't the light refracting through the beveled glass in the breakfast nook in the morning a sign of how beautiful life is?" Tom is more "Life is beautiful, as seen in the rainbows that appear in the oily water in the gutter as you wake up from passing out the night before". Either way, life IS beautiful.
