Tom Waits - Ghosts of Saturday Night/Heart of Saturday Night (Live) 12/16/75

The past few weeks I’ve been doing a thing with Nathan, prompting him to sing songs like Tom Waits. He’ll growl out a few words and I really need to get this on video.

At any rate, I’ve been a casual listener of Tom for a while and this week I’ve been getting deep into his back catalog. Nathan and I spent the morning cleaning up the house listening to Waits’ “The Heart of Saturday Night.” In the span of time it took to clean up the living room and play a little “Hot Wheels,” I’m a huge fan. Such storytelling.

Plus, he’s the only person on this earth besides my grandmother that I’ve ever heard say “he meant to vomit” after belching. Couldn’t even believe it.
