    Pffffffftt. I do like the man's music at times and really dug his appearance on John Lurie's "Fishing with John", Down By Law, etc....

    But genius or not

    $117.50!!!
    for General Admission last time round at the Oakland Paramount !!??

    WTF

    Every punkrawk corpuscle squirms.
    I'd rather get a couple shiatsu sessions or take a dozen strangers to the movies or pay the bridge toll for 40 people behind me
    than bend over for such a blasé, hostile fisting.

      that's what happens when an underground hero becomes a mainstream hero.

      just the way it works. Tom Waits is the current Cirque de solail.

      I still say you can thank Bill Graham for that.

        heh

        I know ,w/a

        but
        bullshit.



        I always get called on for being "negative" or ranting..... And the great majority of the time it's a response to somethingof mine that is quite even-handed or distinctively appreciative and positive.
        It's only the wanting of _more_ and the demand for what should be basic decencies and for the sublimities; it's the love of life that midwifes such outrage. I'm not a wrecking ball, I'm a pillar. I'll leave the niceties to the folks who don't feel the urgency.

      Yeah, I gotta go with groucho here. He wasn't knocking for the sake of knocking. It hurts when folks we admire because they're original and outsiders (or at least marketed that way) charge so much for their live concerts that we can't even go see them. I love Tom Waits, but I couldn't afford admission like that even if I saved up for weeks.
