Happy Birthday Tom Waits

One of my favorite performers is Tom Waits, who celebrates his Tom Waits' birthday today.

Regular Marathon Pundit reader Dan C. of Chicago's South Side e-mailed me the reminder this afternoon.

The perfect end to this post would that the raspy-voiced singer shares the same political views I do. But sadly, he's a lib. Last year, he contributed a song to a MoveOn.org CD, called Future Soundtrack for America. Waits' contribution was "Day After Tomorrow."

Happy Birthday, all the same, Tom! And yes, Tom Waits belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
