Tom Waits Friday: Christmas Special


If all Christmas music began with lyrics like --
Hey Charley I'm pregnant
Living on 9th Street
Right above a dirty bookstore
Off Euclid Avenue...
-- Christmas music would be a thousand times more awesome.

& don't forget the Pogues':

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

It sounds like something straight out of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." You'll love it.

Happy Christmas, Driftglass! Much love to the Cornfield Resistance!
