KNKX announcer: “and then Tom Waits, he’s gonna sing for you.”

For me personally? Hey thanks, Tom.

“Frank settled down in the valley
And all the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes,
He has a router and a table saw
And you won’t believe what Mrs Stitches saw
Uhhhüüüüüüh.”

… turned out to be from Nighthawks at the Diner, so a pre-Kathleen album I don’t own. I think what I like about Waits is weirdly the same “feel” for language use as I like about Henry Rollins actually.
