I haven't seen him around, but I'm pretty sure he's still alive.

The cryptic lyrics and voice can lead one to debate the possibility of a anomily from the grave.

No shadow no stars
no moon no cars
November
it only believes
in a pile of dead leaves
and a moon
that's the color of bone

No prayers for November
to linger longer
stick your spoon in the wall
we'll slaughter them all

November has tied me
to an old dead tree
get word to April
to rescue me
November's cold chain

Made of wet boots and rain
and shiny black ravens
on chimney smoke lanes
November seems odd
you're my firing squad
November

With my hair slicked back
with carrion shellac
with the blood from a pheasant
and the bone from a hare
tied to the branches
of a roebuck stag
left to wave in the timber
like a buck shot flag

Go away you rainsnout
go away blow your brains out
November

Saw a TV series with that name a few years back. John Lurie, sax player with the Lounge Lizards, sitting in a boat, chatting away idly with some of his friends. Remember the Tom Waits episode and possibly another with the great Jim Jarmusch. All the best TV is at 2am.

Yep. That's the show. I found it on DVD.

There's a great new DVD "Born into This", about Charles Bukowski that just came out. There are a couple of interviews with Tom Waits, as Bukowski had a big influence on his work.

Perfect TV for insomniacs, particularly the theme tune, "Fiishiiiing with Johhhnn, Fiishiiiiing with Johhhhnn."

I saw him once years ago. It was one of the best concerts I've seen. He is my favorite song writer. I love the production on his recordings. Very unusual and very hip.

I've seen him live in the Hague.
I've not heard anything about a current tour though.
