As the man himself explains in the video press conference below, Dallas puts the “D” in “PEHDTSCKJMBA.” Waits brings his Glitter and Doom Tour to the Palladium Room June 23. Tickets go on sale May 16. No, I don’t know of any secrets to get tickets before then. If I did, I’d tell you–but only after I made double sure I got mine.

what a nutball…i love me some waits.
Me too and now I know why Adam is cool!
http://www.nokiatheatredfw.com has a mailing list that will email you the Thursday before the tickets go on sale for Palladium Ballroom and Nokia Theatre. They will give you a pre-sale password so that you can buy tickets before the publice. Seeing as the tickets don’t go on sale until next week, the email hasn’t gone out yet, but I would suggest getting on the mailing list for next Thursday’s email blast.
If you go, visit Jammer, he’s the best bartender at Palladium!
Tom Waits, the Gary Busey of the music world.
Gary Bu… huh? Waits is not clinically brain dead nor has Chicklet teeth. Busey is neither dark and mysterious nor into fetish parties.
The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break
And the telephone’s out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking…
Sounds kinda like Beck lyrics….
