After a near-miss with a tornado last night and violent arctic winds today that threatened to blow the whole state off the map, I found a little bit of solace when my iPod, in its grand omniscience, selected this song for random play.[1]
Ah, Tom Waits. You make my heart sing. Every fiber of my being resonates with the magic that you weave. Sigh.
The photo above was taken on our pilgrimage to see him live in Chicago 8/9/06.
[1] Music by Tom Waits accounts for approx. 22% of our iTunes library.

I love him too. He is awesome. I have a set in my ipod which is Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, and Nice Cave only. They go together. Perfectly.
I was wondering if you missed the tornado…or if the tornado missed you. Glad you are OK.
