Tom Waits Glitter And Doom Tour Dates (Mostly Southern)
Tom Waits Glitter And Doom Tour Dates Mostly Southern
5/6/08
“Well they call me William the pleaser/I sold opium fireworks and lead/Now I’m tellin’ my troubles to strangers/When the shadows get long I’ll be dead/ Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar/ Skin was white as a cuttlefish bone/I left Texas to follow Lucinda/Now I’ll never see heaven or home”
“Lucinda”
--Tom Waits
Yesterday Mystery And Manners Honorary Southern Artist Tom Waits announced tour dates for his Glitter & Doom tour that begins in June. All but two of the so-far scheduled dates are southern cities in the footprint. The cities include: El Paso, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, St. Louis, Knoxville, Jacksonville, Mobile, Birmingham, and of course…Atlanta. The “Official” Tom Waits website was born yesterday. This press conference is priceless…typical Tom...pescajumba...
In other Waits news, Scarlett Johansson’s new album of Tom Waits covers, due on May 20, should prove interesting...I hear it's good. I look forward to Terry Gilliam’s (Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas) The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus due in early 2009 where Waits plays “Mr. Nick”, aka The Devil.
...More Waits developments and tour news soon...
