Countdown to Tom Waits



In less than seven days, I will be in Phoenix, Arizona. I am staying with an old friend. I'm looking forward to spending time with her, catching up on old times, and having a mini vacation. But on top of this, I will also be seeing Tom Waits perform at The Orpheum Theater for his Glitter and Doom tour.

This is a big deal for me as Tom Waits is one of my idols. He is a big inspiration.

So I decided to begin a countdown of sorts. Every day until Tuesday, when I leave, I will post a favorite video/song/or image of Mr. Waits.

And now, "Going Out West" from the album Bone Machine. It was his first album working with Larry Taylor where he incorporated more industrial noises. The album's overall concept is Armageddon.

Should be a great show, AND you get to see the beautiful Phoenix International Airport.

It's all about the airport experience for me....actually that's the only reason I am going. Just for the airport and the bag of peanuts I will hopefully be handed.
