Perhaps the good karma police decided to make up for my miserably wet but transcendent experience at Radiohead last weekend by making sure I got an amazing orchestra seat for Tom Waits in Columbus!
I've never seen him live and he rarely tours anymore. I expect nothing less than a once in a lifetime thrill, frankly. The last time I drove to the wilds of Ohio for live music was in October 2004. I saw one of the most emotional, incredible, and hopeful concerts I've ever experienced. I even went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after that. A hard act to follow, surely, yet I expect Tom Waits to surpass even that high standard. Why? He's a compelling, fascinating, wholly unique individual so striking it's impossible to take your eyes away, as evidenced by these photos of unique beauty:
Yeah, obviously very memorable and, uh, ...oh! Yeah. That reminds me. (Sorry, guess my mind kind of drifted there for a sec.) There's some other Tom Waits related news this week...
