MUSiC/MEDiA: Tom Waits Closing Time 50th Posters, Pt. 2

The record cover side.*

* Note happy faced reflection!

These are in fact the same double-sided poster. Or rather two thereof. So I can display both sides in separate frames.

The frames arrived today. And the posters fit absolutely poifeckly. Step three will be find the right place to hang these beauties.

I think this is a Scott Smith photo, c. ‘72?

I’m much more of a fan of the MkI Tom Waits, or the pre Kathleen Brennan version. I don’t doubt that she – his wife – saved him from self-destruction as a caricature Beatnik. But I loved that early version. it was pure Jack Kerouac, in musical form, and then some.

I can constantly go back to the ol’ Jack, er… I mean the ol’ Tom. Not so for the latter day version. His latest album? I haven’t even made it through the first track yet.
