Ed Burke<p>I normally spam the crap out of you poor people on Mastodon, and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NittyGrittyDiveBar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NittyGrittyDiveBar</span></a> would describe some of my favorite <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a>, so I've held back today to try to show some restraint and compassion. Sometimes, though, you just need to play some Tom Waits, so let's sneak one in at the end of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TuneTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TuneTuesday</span></a>.</p><p>Tom Waits - Foreign Affair:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iTLk3gjEec" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=-iTLk3gjEec</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

#TuneTuesday with a #NittyGrittyDiveBar theme.

The conversations I've been having last night and this a.m. have focused somewhat on Atlanta... a college friend just discovered that another, long-lost friend of ours has been living outside Atlanta, unbeknownst to us.

Which puts me in mind of this band, which I've always liked and which could easily have been playing in a dive bar in my youth. I know this song is a cover, but they do it well and it's such a darn good song.

#TuneTuesday with a #NittyGrittyDiveBar theme. Lots come to mind (Celtic punk, Roger Miller, many more), but for those times when you want to savor a wallow and let the vibe ricochet around like a pinball:

A #NittyGrittyDiveBar is the only kind of bar to find oneself inside. To celebrate this #TuneTuesday pull up a cracked stool, drape your tired elbows on the rail and let me regale you with some #Music. You could play any tune from one of this guy's first seven albums and not go wrong here, so it's just appropriate to feature the patron saint of broken dreams and lost causes.

Tom Waits - Fumblin' With The Blues:

Today's theme: music to listen to in a dive bar.

Guessing here since it's not my scene at all, but I think this is the kind of music I'd want to listen to if I were hanging out and not thinking about the world.
