I’m feeling a 70’s resurgence this month.  Newly back from New York and having seen the best band ever formed in life, Blondie, and now revisiting my Tom Waits collection in light of tonight’s show (which I cannot afford $85 to attend), I’m feeling pretty musically groovy this week.

Waits is performing at the Times Union Center for the Performing Arts Moran Theater (whew) at 9 p.m. tonight and if you don’t think that’s a big deal, you are confused.

I remember the first time I heard Waits.  I would’ve bet money he was a 60 year old black man.  Not so.  His voice sounds cured by years of whiskey and hollerin’, but he’s a good ol’ west coast beatnik with blues so smooth it’ll make you cry.

I’m not sure if tickets for tonight’s performance are still available, but if they are and you’ve got the cash to spare, you should check it out.  I found out that the tickets are paperless, you only need show your id and credit card at the theater.  If anyone goes, please let us know how it rolls.
