The Flimwell Papers

A very random collection of stuff that washes up on this writer's shore; the flotsam and jetsam of the internet. I admire others who have set out with theme or considered a byline....this is just where I show my collection of found and discovered likes and loves!

Telephone Call From Istanbul ~ Tom Waits 

Sorry I had this all lined up for the “wild” selection for Wednesday but stuff happened…yeah ruptured another blood vessel this one in my inner ear….cool when you’re body explodes while you’re just sleeping.  So it’s 25 years on as I silently go back to this one tonight and know that I’ll always follow where Mr. Waits in is many shifting guises wherever he will go…those shifts being seamlessly achieved! Franks Wild Years is not so much as deep but more like steep! And Tom imparts some really great grifter grit advice here….”never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you’re dead..” So besides a devilish grin at lists of standard equipment to traverse this underbelly world here….Tom leaves us with a killah organ outro!  

Peace y’all!
