I discovered Tom Waits (not that he was exactly missing) seventeen odd years ago while touring as a circus roustabout, which is, I suppose, about as apt as you can get. If my driving partner were forced to choose between rescuing her boyfriend or her copy of Swordfishtrombones from a burning building I suspect her SO would have been on his own, and we listened...

So are Tom Waits fans like Dave Matthews fans then? Like those idiots that follow "Dave" around for 10 concerts during the summer and mistake "Dave" tuning his guitar for a particularly moving 15 minute version of "Don't Drink the Water"?

I so want to see Tom live. I'll be quiet when I'm supposed to, I promise.

I once had a knock down, drag out bar argument with a friend of mine about the greatest album ever recorded (any artist, any genre). He suggested Swordfishtrombones, I argued for Frank's Wild Years. We amused our friends with that for more than an hour ...

A rant, in one act.

I live in a very broken city. Our streetlights don't work. The power goes out randomly. Our gangbangers have PTSD. We're not so Big or so Easy no more, and thats fine for me. It is not however, fine for some people. Lots of people are leaving, heading for higher ground, better schools and places where they don't have to...

"No, sir, we're a preservation organization, we protect old buildings, I'm afraid we can't help your "girlfriend" with her prostitution and crime against nature charges, sorry."

Nothing like a wrong number from a pimp to liven up a Monday morning.

Interestingly, crimes against nature (read: blowjobs) are still illegal in Louisiana if you get them or give them for money. The Supreme Court has ruled...

So, apparently, the assailant in my neighborhood shooting is sixteen years old, and...

...wait for it...

...shot the same guy, in the same place last year.


In more pleasant news, it turns out that barren and denuded neutral grounds are perfect for bocce.

Dig the new style, New Orleans.

So, in the space of five minutes I was informed that friends of mine have more or less lost everything owing to the Susquehanna deciding to pay a visit to most of central New York, and there was a shooting five blocks from my house.

Enough.

Please?

Man that sucks.
There were two seperate murders across the street from were we lived in the Quarter. One guy got shot not a minutes after we walked past. Add that to the two armed robberies at the bar below us and another at the clothing store next to that and you've got five years of wondering when it was gonna be my turn.
