More Tom Waits

December 7, 2004 By pia

WFUV, the radio station that inspired me to go to one of the grad schools associated with it (I know I’m totally shallow) is having Tom Waits day.

When they did covers I thought it would include the old chestnuts such as Rod’s “Downtown Train” or Bruce’s “Jersey Girl,” (if that word could ever be used for Tom Waits), but they included Tim Buckley’s cover of Martha, a song I loved but had forgotten about.

Then I heard that he was nominated for a grammy for a song on “Blood & Money,” or maybe the whole albumn–I tune out when the dj’s talk. But it makes me so happy when a radio station has Tom Waits day. I know, I know they have a day for everybody.

But Tom Waits deserves at least a week, so I think that I’ll spend the rest of the week just listening to him.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
