Tom Waits for no man.Out of the box.

Where is the so called "Alternative" Rock Culture these days? Not leading an anti fascist, anti Dicktraitor, anti destruction of freedom, anti Projekt 2025 movement that's for sure. No Freedom-Aid concerts, public demonstrations, Washington Freedom love-ins, Woodstock style concerts. No! They're all touring the World on their private jets and giving each other "Achievement trophies" for being idol rich counts!

If Tom does not go to my funeral, I'm not going either.

I second this sentiment,Tom is King

[@OdditiesandRarities]

are you THE eyeball kid from the blog?

[@Eyeballkidd]

Unfortunately not. I had this username for a while before discovering him. Great minds think alike, I guess 😂 Anyway, I'd just like to thank you again for this channel. Some really amazing footage on here. As someone who's had to come to terms with the fact I'll never get to see Tom live and in the flesh, so to speak, this channel is really appreciated 👍

[@soulstarphoenix]

That is the coolest way I’ve heard him described. Been a music producer for 20 years. Tom is one of my favourites as he’s always stayed true to his art and never compromised. “They say I have no hits. And they say that like it’s a bad thing!” - tom

I watched this with my mouth open and my jaw slack. Totally unexpected performance. I'm literally blown away.

Who are the other 3 ?

[@andygrenn680]

@ Three…we’re gonna need a bigger Mount Rushmore…Three is difficult to do. Almost impossible.

[@johnestes8410]

Bob Dylan. Tom Waits. John Prine. The fourth hasn’t come along yet.

[@andygrenn680]

@ excellent three suggested. Bruce Springsteen could be the fourth to join
