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.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

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.

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!

No shows in the Northeast. So sad.

Woohoo! Tom in the southeast! He hasn't played around here since... I don't know, he hasn't played here since I've been a fan - and that's a while.
I bet he sells out the Tabernacle in about 10 seconds.

The link above mentioned he was trying to hit places he hasn't been since the 70's. I've seen him twice in Boston (about 10 years apart), so I guess it's the southeast's and midwest's turn. He is without a doubt worth mortgaging the house to see in concert.

Which probably means no Seattle, I'm guessing.

The only time in my life I have gone to a scalper ticket agency to buy tickets was for one of his shows. It was worth every penny.

In memory of the Music II thread: A much deserved fugging of Chaka Khan.
Also, I checked ticketmaster today and Ohio and Atlanta Waits shows are going in the 65-72 dollar range. No word on Chicago, but those prices are lower than I expected.
