Nighthawks at the Diner
this 1975 live studio alb-m was tom waits’ third release. it begins with a bit of sax, percussion and an intro by waits. he’s a bit of a stage comedian, telling jokes between songs, and giving little introductions before them. the music is beautiful, as with all of waits’ live work. one of the best is better off without a wife, all about a stag and his love of being alone. playing after that is nighthawk postcards, which is another great story, this time of a journey through a town past dark.
an excerpt from nighthawks at the diner’s-
emotional weather report
with tornado watches issued shortly
before noon sunday, for the areas
including, the western region
of my mental health
and the northern portions of my
ability to deal rationally with my
disconcerted precarious emotional
situation, it’s cold out there
