Orphans

Tom Waits’ latest just arrived by USPS, and I’m a third of the way through the first listening. One of the cuts that’s a distillation of many of Tom’s multiple facets is available as an mp3: Road to Peace. Doubtless some will hate it, and some will decry his meddling in ‘politics’, but I hear something there that’s all too rare, and admire Waits all the more.
