No Rock And Roll Fun

TOM WAITS FOR ALL MEN: Hopefully, the schoolhouse in Mississippi that Tom Waits is using to record his new album is one that isn't actually used as a school any more, otherwise there's going to be some well-spooked kids walking about down in the South. We like Waits because he provides his own punchlines:

"I’m feeling good about it all. There are songs about politics, rats, war, hangings, dancing, automobiles, pirates, farms, the carnival and sinning, Mama, liquor, trains and death. In other words, the same old dirty business".
