That was the 70's - New York in the 80's ( I think )
and in Northern CA for the last 10.

"...the intelligent artistic types who actually have a soul..."

So, I'm guessing that it would be considered odd to think that even unintelligent, inartistic types might actually have a soul given to them by God. How silly of me to be so unprejudiced.

Wow. Ever been to L.A., federico? One of the darkest towns in the States. You don't really have to put forth too much effort to look into the shadows. Bukowski did the same.

Did they share the soul simultaneously or did they pass it around as needed?

Carnivalesque and dreamy some might say. Tom is certainly an acquired taste but he's written some very insightful lyrics if you can get past the initial polyrhythms and discordant compositions.

why do americans comment on tom waits' music?
he belongs to us here in the old world, raucous voice, brilliant texts, strange twsits and all ...
