I am disappointed with my father...

[cansei de ser sexme]

my dad called me today and asked me if i knew who this Tom Waits guy was because he is attending a banquet for his work in LA at which Tom Waits is performing. I nearly died./

[PassiveTheory]

Did you ask for tickets?

[mvanwinkle]

man where does he work.

[Alchemy]

Does he work at a cigarette shop? Or an old store?

[Courtney]

Tell him to scalp his invitation.

[ivankay]

Ah, give your dad a break. Not everyone could or should know everything you know. Consider this a wonderful opportunity to bond through your educating him about someone pretty darn cool. Hopefully he can bring you to the show.

The banquet isn't around the time of Coachella, is it?

[rage patton]

Tom Waits must be at Coachella this year.

Fuck dat waitz fool.

[Jenniehoo]

I hear Tom Waits will play your Christmas party for a pack of Lucky Strikes and a vocoder.

[mvanwinkle]

Fuck dat waitz fool.

It's the benefit he's doing for his lawyer buddy,isn't it?Your dad will know who he is after the show.For now just tell him the guy that was Renfield in Coppola's Dracula and the guy that wrote "Ol' 55" for the Eagles...

[ivankay]

Any chance your dad might have "Down by Law" as a reference point?

[Yablonowitz]

My dad's dead. Be glad you have one in the first place you insensitive fuck. Although I think I prefer my deceased father over one who doesn't even know who the fuck Tom Waits is.

And why the hyphen at the end of your post? This isn't html and even if it were you don't even have any fucking brackets.

Tom Waits performing a benefit for a lawyer sounds like it might be some other Tom Waits. Are you sure it's not John Waite?

He says it is for some Jewish thing in LA on January 22. the only reason I was disappointed in him is that my dad usually knows music and he goes to coachella and whatnot. I asked if i could go and i got a no. It is sad he is playing this gig because there are going to be so many people who don't know him and cannot properly appreciate him when there are people who would die to see him.but w/e

I'm putting on my yarmulke
and bum rushing the party. Whose with me?

I read about this somewhere.I think it's a lawyer who has made a practice of representing the indigent in downtown LA,and I think Waits was quoted as saying "He helped me out of a few scrapes".
One can only imagine what those were.

How about this, he plays the benefit, then does a month at the Troubadour. Perfect.

Or even better, a month in the alley behind the Troubadour. Pure bliss.
