Title: Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis

A seasonal classic, this is "White Christmas" for those of us who never quite fit in the pretty world.

Great musical selection, driftglass. Offbeat and quirky. Very nice!

Thanks for the beautiful song. I couldn't love Tom Waits more. It was just what I needed to unwind tonight.

TW, getting Kennedy Center honors?

Unlikely, as he's not a commercial success like a Streisand.

But it would be awesome. I can't think of more deserving "pure" songwriter.

I had such high hopes for the Hooker in Minneapolis that the RNC convention would have brought her some financial independence... come Valentines day.

Peace All

I know I'm supposed to be a big fan of his, but it never really happened (even after the first thing I knew of him was his Fernwood Tonight appearance ... )

But I do appreciate that he slouches towards bethlahymnn ...

This is a song for those of you in the audience who have trouble getting up in the morning and going to church.

I discovered something. it's sort of an imacculate confection ..you can put it in your mouth and when it's gone you can get up and leave..
