    Fatherdougalmag asked [Was he on Gay Byrne at one stage?

    He certainly was. I remember watching it with my Mam & Dad. Waits was wearing a trilby, singlet T-Shirt and smoking a cigerette if I remember correctly. His forehead was nearly brushing the keys of the piano as he played. The song : Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis. "Hey Charlie I'm pregnant..........." The voice oh the voice never heard anything quite like it and the looks the epitomy of cool. BUT what really set it off for me was my Dad's reaction he went through the roof freaking out at Byrne and what sort of crap he was now making us look at! That did it for me if my old man hated it that much it had to be the best and it certainly is!!!

    Closing time was what got me into his music, still finding it a bit of a challange to get into his more recent stuff.

    Genius though.

    Not really an expert on Waits, but I like this a lot.

    Im bumping this thread for this link as I'm guessing that a few Waits fans may have a subscription to it.

    Tom Waits calls Bob Dylans radio show. Enjoy.
