1) Presentations tomorrow on American Music and the Ame
rican Education System. Had fun putting both together, so I hope tomorrow will go well. I'm still editing the American Music one, and will be for parts of the night. It's tough to present even close to a sampling of American Music in an hour and 1/2.
2) As with lots of "bummer" days, I ended up listening to more Tom Waits. Lower your eyebrows, I didn't say it made sense I just said I do it. Tom Waits is amazing. Yes, he probably drank battery acid before recording some of his songs. I can't help but love him.
From his performance in Atlanta last year. I can hear the thump-thump of your heart already.
Go here for a few more pictures from that same performance, and then download (legally, illegally, whatever) Filipino Box Spring Hog and try to guess what the lyrics are. Joke's on you, they don't really matter.
"Hold On" by Tom Waits from Mule Variations
Ha ha. Man, that album is greatastic.
ReplyDeleteDo you have slides or something for your American Music thing? I'd really like to see what you chose to include.
I'm thinking I can figure out how to put them on the blog, but they were so disappointed I didn't play "Get Me Bodied" by Beyonce.
