A colleague/friend of mine gave me a running mix right before the marathon. I didn't listen to it in the marathon, but did listen on the drive to/from. IT has a few songs that caught me by surprise. As in they were very good. Here is one of them, by Tom Waits. I gather he's been around for ever and ever but I never listened to him. Maybe that was a mistake. He has a scratchy tired voice that is very appealing in the context of this song, and the lyrics are pretty cool. It took me about forever to figure out what he was saying. What's not to like?

Brings back late nights in smoky Chicago coffee shops listening to Tom Waits, drinking strong coffee and talking lumpen politics into the wee hours of the morning. I never could figure out what he was saying :) but it works.
