Lunch Hour Veg - Tom Waits Edition
Time to enjoy the twisted genius of the great Tom Waits.


The video for Hold On

More Tom after the jump.

Sing it Tom...


Tom Traubert's Blues. 1977.


Eggs and Sausage in a Cadillac with Susan Michelson. Live on the Michael Douglas Show. 1976.


Tom and Iggy try to get along in a coffee shop. High comedy.


The hilarious The Piano Has Been Drinking. Look how young Fred Willard is.


Forget that saccharine coated Rod Stewart cover version. The original Downtown Train is where it's at.

And finally...


Tom's "press conference" announcing the upcoming tour.

Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, hail hail rock and roll...

He wrote the theme song for The Wire, though the Blind Boys of Alabama did it best imho.

All the videos are "no longer available" -- guess I'll have to search YouTube myself.
