Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

What is the source on that Tom Waits tour info, C.I.? I cannot find anything and ticketmaster gives me no love. Mostly I just want to find out how soon I can buy tickets since the Chicago date is so close.

The source is Phil Freeman, who wrote a cover article on Tom Waits for The Wire last year and is close to his publicist. I didn't see anything on the Waits website, so I'll let you know if I hear anything further.

Aha. I just found this: [link]

That was some intensive googling to get that. Whew!

Tickets for Chicago go on sale July 14th (hello b-day present!) or 15th.

Thanks for the heads up!
