Possibly my very favorite Waits song of all time, Mr. Glass, from probably his best anbum. Many thanks.
This one has all the things that Tommy does better than anybody else: Melancholy with a brave face, sly humor, lonliness in a crowd, poignancy, rueful observation all sprinkled with a faraway glimmer of hope.
If this doesn't tear your heart out, you ain't got one...
I'm sure you already have been alerted to this, but NPR has a 2-1/2 hour concert of Tom Waits available. It can be found at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92916923&ps=bb3
