Tom Waits at The Ryman--An Emotional Travelogue

[dkear]

Prelude.

 

We reach Nashville the night before and fall into bed to sleep off our jet lag. Music City is an hour behind Mannahatta, but the distance is huge. Baby Rocco we left off at his Nana and Babbo

Your review put me over the top, and then some.

 

i'll feel my way down the darken hall,

and out into the morning,

the hobos at the freightyards,

have kept their fires burning,

so jesus christ this goddamn rain,

will someone put me on a train,

i'll never kiss your lips again,

or break your heart,

as i say goodbye

i'll say goodbye,

say goodbye to ruby's arms.

 

 

 

Thanks so much for posting.

Terrific review, I don't know how it could have been more entertaining. Thank you!

Great review! I almost feel like I was there.

 

"I ordered my veal cutlet, christ, it left the plate, walked down to the end of the counter...veal cutlet come down and try to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee. Coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself"

 

I love this man. "Going Out West"!!! Favorite song of all time! I'm officially jealous!

Wow...just noticed that he did Tom Traubert's Blues - that certainly sounds like a show worth flying out for!
