05/25/2002 Entry: "Quotable"

"I like beautiful melodies telling terrible things."
"It's kinda like borrowing the same ten bucks over and over again."
"We sharpen each other like knives."
"I couldn't wait to be an old man."
"I like songs with weather in them, and something to eat."
"He [Louis Armstrong] is like a country to be explored. He came out of the ground like a potato..."
"I like hearing things incorrectly."

I love, love Tom Waits. This past Tuesday, he was on NPR, humble and growling out memorable words and songs.
