Friday Evening Prayer Meeting

What's he building in there?
We have a right to know.



I know I have a few neighbors who ask these questions about me ever since they figured out that my new workbench will easily downcycle into a coffin for Rudy at such time when he finally drives Cindy berserk. This performance makes a nice Halloween composition.

Only Tom Waits could invent a town called Mayor's Income, Tennessee---what a card! I want to post more of his work in the future. I know of almost no other artists who have been as versatile and, at the same time, consistently successful as Waits over the span of a 40-year career. Usually a pop musician is either one or the other, but Waits isn't really a pop musician; he's in a class by himself.

What's He Building? Tom Waits (1999, from "Mule Variations," Anti/Epitaph CD 86547-2), via YouTube, embedded for noncommercial critical discussion and educational purposes.

  3. Anons: thanks for both of those links. Will delve into the photo blog. The cop video seems very effective, especially if there happen to be "objectives correlative" that the Renton, WA, townies can identify. Ties in with an idea I've been trying to develop about asymmetric political tactics in the age of corporate and government executive branch intrusiveness. Will be ready to share sometime soon.
