My daughter Ellen called me yesterday, very excited, saying she had big news. While I ran through a list of possible major life-changing events that she might be about to announce, she told me that Tom Waits is going to be here on July 2. Here’s what he calls a press conference:
As I've no doubt mentioned before, I don’t get out much. But I’ll be at this concert, unless the tickets sell out so fast that we don’t get in. I wouldn’t think that would happen in Mobile, but many Waits fans are fanatics.
How about a little Waits music to…um, well…“brighten your day” is hardly the right phrase…darken your day, then, but in a meaningful sort of way?
Envy is not one of my worst vices, but, God help me, I envy this man’s gift excessively.
