Tom Waits was awarded the key to the city of El Paso, Texas. Although the key was bestowed to the legendary bluesman man in a unceremonious way Waits was visibly moved, reports NME. He was not expecting the honor when a uniformed officer walked on-stage at El Paso's Plaza Theatre, where he was performing. "I paid all those tickets," Waits quipped when he saw the officer, adding "She was dead when I got there." El Paso councilwoman Susie Boyd then came onto the stage an... MORE

Elsewhere on MOG at this moment a roadie for a middle-of-the-road rock musician is heard to say that this is the best song ever. This claim seems worth a 99 cent expenditure to investigate. Let's all find out together. ("Also, Dude, 'roadie' is not the preferred nomenclature. 'Technicians,' please." ~Walter Sobchak) ... ("Calmer 'n you are....." ~Walter Sobchak) ...

A beautiful two hour love song to the power of memory, imagination, and the human spirit. The true story of the former editor of Elle Magazine, Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffers a severe stroke and is left with a rare condition called 'locked in syndrome.' He retained vision and hearing, and his mind continued to function perfectly, but his body was almost completely paralyzed. He could not move or speak.

I'm actually chuffed to get tickets to see Tom Waits.
For various reasons I've been waiting 23 years for this, which is perhaps why I didn't bat an eyelid at TWO HUNDRED QUID FOR TWO TICKETS!!! And why exactly does the second ticket also cost a fiver to put in the same envelope as the first one?
Rant over. I'm actually quite excited. I'm just praying nobody wheels on young Scarlet for a duet - that would be wrong.

You can never tell if Tom waits is drunk or not. During his latest press conference announcing a summer tour behind his new album Glitter And Doom, we're pretty sure he wasn't. Waits and his raspy voice kick off June 17th in Phoenix, AZ and the rest of the southern stops follow the constellation Hydra) (sorta). The guiding word of the tour, an anagram of each city that the tour stops in is PEHDTSCKJMBA. Say it with him...PEHDTSCKJMBA. Tom Waits tour dates: Tu... MORE
