I Loved Fernwood Tonight! Martin Mull was such a trip, and his sidekick, Fred. So tongue in cheek. I don't remember Tom Waits on the show. I saw Waits in concert once. A small venue in Santa Barbara. For the show, he actually brought a lamp post on stage - to lean against - and 2 scantily clad women wearing pasties and little more than a g-string. And he Did lean against that lamp pole. A memorable performance by all. And that voice.
Oh,this is great...perfect for my kind of Christmas,funny and sad at the same time. I've always loved Tom Waits...his stories,characters,his view of the real and gritty world...very relatable to me.Thank you for this;it made my Christmas! Happy Holidays to all the poetic outlaws out there...

"David Broza is an internationally renowned Israeli singer-songwriter, recognized for his dynamic guitar performances and humanitarian efforts. His signature sound brings together the influence of Spanish flamenco, American folk, rock and roll, and poetry. Social justice and peace advocacy are embedded in Broza’s work; his 1977 hit song “Yihye Tov” remains an Israeli peace anthem. With over 40 albums released, many of which are multiplatinum, in English, Hebrew, and Spanish, Broza continues to tour globally both as a solo musician and with his various musical projects."
the troubadour of the lost
One of my favorite Tom Waits lines "I don't have a husband, he don't play the trombone."
My fave is, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
I used to watch Fernwood Tonight with my grandparents when I saw Tom Waits appear - And my little ears perked up 🆙

Agreed, that is a good one! Waits has so many great lines throughout his whole production though, making it hard to pick absolute favorites.
Mine too. :)
When Christmas has street cred.
Christmas wishes in the start and the truth at the end.
Perfect last minute Xmas card for a Tom Waits-loving friend, thank you.
Fabulous, anything by Tom Waites is always a treat 💓even his sad songs.
Tom always sings ‘em as life always slings ‘em - hard on the outside and once in a while soft within.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Yesss low down living it exists

הי ג'ינג'י אני בהריון
ואני גרה ברחוב הירקון
מעל מועדון שנשרף, קומה שניה
הפסקתי עם הסמים
הפסקתי לשתות בימים
הבעל שלי מנגן אקורדיון
בתזמורת המשטרה.
הוא אומר שנשאר אצלו
והוא יודע שהתינוק הוא לא שלו
נתן לי טבעת זהב כמעט אמיתית
ובערב ביום חמישי
הוא לוקח אותי
לריקודים במועדון שבצפון
עד הבוקר אנחנו רוקדים ורוקדים ורוקדים
הי ג'ינג'י היה לי קשה
בלילה ההוא כשעצרו את משה
ברחתי משם לבת ים לאמא שלי
אבל כל מי שמוכר
היה שיכור או נפטר
חזרתי העירה לכאן עברתי משבר
ועכשיו אני כאן לא בורחת יותר
הי ג'ינג'י כבר אין בלגן
לראשונה אחרי הרבה הרבה זמן
הלואי שהיה לי עכשיו את הכסף ההוא
שבזבזנו אני ואתה
אתה יודע על מה
הייתי קונה מכוניות משומשות
ונוסעת לי בכל יום עם אוטו אחר
כן, אני אסתדר
הי ג'ינג'י שתלך לעזאזל
אם אתה באמת שואל
אין לי בית אין לי בעל
והוא לא מנגן אקורדיון
אין לי כסף לשתות
ואין לי כוח לחיות
היי ג'ינג'י, זה גם הילד שלך
ושנה טובה
משושנה
