Tom Waits is indeed fantastic, albeit that he sometimes goes from the sublime to the ridiculous.
However he does paint great pictures, and manages to imprint a vision of small town America into the mind. "The heart of a Saturday night" is a fine example of this, and "San Diego Serenade" is wonderful.
News from a senior scientist in the Government; detox diets and supplements are rubbish; the body has a detox organ, it's called the liver. Save your money and let it get on with it. He added "with the money you've saved, buy something to please yourself. I recommend the new cds by Neil Young and Steve Earle."
My daughter will agree with you about Tom Waits.
And what happens if your Liver is half cooked from inulging in poisons for 'fun'? Alchohol,coffee, tea, sugar, plus the dodgier chemicals. And what about enviromental pollution? Mineral deficient food?, And all the other sh*t you put in your body? If you dont supplement your diet with a quality chelated mineral and vitamin suppliment in an easily assimable form you are either Ignorant, a fool, or highly optimistic. m
Government scientist! Hah.
tom waits IS fantastic, and since it's new year's eve, let's not forget that he coined one of the greatest toasts of all time (often wrongly, perhaps even plagiaristically, mis-attributed):
"Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends."

True dat. This whole living on a sphere with different time zones is sure confusing.
I'm watching a Twilight Zone marathon and they just showed the episode where helpful aliens leave a book "To Serve Man", and a woman races down the runway as people climb aboard the flying saucers, screaming, "We just translated the rest of it! It's a cook book!"
My favorite episode like that (might have been the Outer Limits) is when the aliens come to Earth and tell the Earthlings they have to solve all the world's problems and stop war by the time they come back or they will destroy it. Then all the world's leaders meet and feverishly solve all their disputes just in time for the alien's return, but when they come back they say they were hoping it wouldn't work because they wanted Earthlings to be their slave warriors -- and they destroy the Earth anyway.
Ah, home at last after another splendid night at the office. Interesting time, new year at work, gave away my Small Change(must buy another copy), spoke to a horse trader about his Mule Variations, reminisced with Frank about his Wild Years, then Alice invited me to lunch only to find Nighthawks At The Diner along with some wierdo who collected Swordfish & Trombones. Quite a start to the year. Oh!.... I made a resolution...... I really am going to stop smoking this stuff......soon!
A toast to all for 2008
May your fiddle dance to your fingers
May your strings tingle with vibrato and your up bow stop before the frog.
May you stay in tune and your audience swoon,
A'fore you hit the grog
"If you dont supplement your diet with a quality chelated mineral and vitamin suppliment in an easily assimable form you are either Ignorant, a fool, or highly optimistic."
Um, how about just eating right? (unless you were being sarcastic
The problem with 'just eating right ' is that it simply is not enough. Suger, for eg, one of the less harmfull substances above uses the bodies supply of vitamins to digest, but provides none. The equation is simple. Without eating raw, organic food,not taking any of the above mentioned substances and living in some mythical unpolluted region you have no chance of obtaining a balanced diet.
Food raised on PNK, artificial fertiliser, not considering the addition of the other chemical pesticide, fungicide,preservatives etc, is simply defficient in trace minerals.
The 'nutrition Almanac', and the' nutrition bible' are worth getting your local libary to bring in. RDA, stands for Ridiculous Dietary Arbitary.
Sure, eat an organic, balanced diet, avoid smoking,drinking, etc etc but, be realistic. Its your health. Without it ........
