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.

    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!
