I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

Over my quarter century on this planet I've seen a good share of awesome live music.  I've seen shitty bands rock and awesome bands suck.  I've seen Radiohead, Lou Reed, New Order, Björk, Rufus Wainwright, Squirrel Nut Zippers, etc.  In spite of all of this there is still one act left to see.

I seriously think that if Tom Waits dies before I see him live, the rest of my life will be pointless. Even the birth of my children will be a hallow experience for I shall know that they are being born into a cruel universe that denied their father the awe inspiring experience of seeing Tom Waits perform.

Did you hear that Tom?

COME BACK TO LA!
