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.
Also, a Hebrew adaptation of Tom Waits's track from his 9-5-1978 Asylum album BLUE VALENTINES that was recorded in L.A. throughout July and August of '78: "Christmas Card from a Hooker In Minneapolis" lyrics adapted to Hebrew by Israeli rock star Yehonatan Geffen (a longtime creative collaborator of David Broza) with the Hebrew title: דויד ברוזה - גלוית שנה טובה משוש המתאבדת\"New Years Postcard From Suicidal Shosh" \ "Gluyath Shana Tova M'Shosh Hamitabedet" released on
"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 🆙

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
