Huh. El Paso for the win for giving Waits the key to the city. That's kinda awesome.

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.

He's in Tejas! But he's coming to LA for the reading.

Oh, this is in LA. Which makes sense (duh) if you're giving a Tom Waits' Wild Years tour.

Yeah, there really wouldn't be much to show for Tom in San Francisco, actually. The theater where he shot Big Time, and uh...where they did the video for "Blow, Wind, Blow" and...that's about it. The Paramount in Oakland where he's had some major shows.

Maybe, but we want Corwood here! Who cares about this Tom guy!?!

I thought he was born up that way, or was he born in Southern CA as well?

He was born in Whittier (near LA), but grew up around San Diego. His dad kind of bounced around (he was a Spanish teacher, and you know how ramblin' they are...) so they moved back and forth between cities near LA and San Diego. They even spent six months in a trailer down in Mexico.
Then his dad took off when Tom was about 10-11, and they settled in San Diego. That's where he worked at the Napoleone Pizza House starting at about age 14. They only had Ray Charles and Dinah Washington on the jukebox. It was in National City, which was a sailor haunt. There was a Mexican Cinema across the street and a tattoo parlor next door.
He's never lived in SF or the immediate Bay Area, though he currently resides near Petaluma (where Winona Ryder grew up on a hippie commune) and Sebastapol. Easy drive to San Francisco. He's been here since the late eighties.
