hi ho boydie,
i liked menorca, havent been for a while but had some good times there, nice place to chill..
sounds like a good book and will check it out.
Actually I thinking of picking up Lowside of the road (Tom Waits biog) - don't suppose you've read it? Wondering if it's any good.
hi tone, yes, well worth it
ive read it and enjoyed it, tells his story in detail from the beginning..
bones howe, his producer and kind of mentor in the earlier years is an interesting chap too, the development of their relationship and waits moving on into film and meeting kathleen brennan..
i didnt feel as if i was in the room though, maybe looking thro the window..think the clues in the title..'
a life of tom waits' . barney hoskins is a quality writer and not sure you can get any closer till ol tom writes his own.
same with dylan, the biogs are informative but theres always a one step distance but if you read chronicles by dylan himself you get more of an insight. same with neil young, his own 'waging heavy peace' is quite inspirational about songwriting and ideas plus hes a great story teller, the words just flow beautifully. plus his attempts to create a digital audio reproduction system for grown ups for the real sound of music..very interesting..
so recommend both of those too
