![]() (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MISERY IS THE RIVER OF THE WORLD") Let's start with a song from "Blood Money." This is "Misery Is The River Of The World." Waits wrote those songs with his wife, Kathleen Brennan. This month, on the 20th anniversary of their release, those albums are being reissued on vinyl with new, formerly unreleased live versions of some songs. When Terry spoke with him in 2002, he'd just released two lyrical concept albums, "Blood Money" and "Alice," which are now considered some of his finest work. ![]() We're going to listen back to two of our interviews with Tom Waits. His songs have been used on the soundtracks of several films, and he's acted in the movies "Down By Law," "Short Cuts," Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula," "The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs" and "The Old Man & The Gun." He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. The darkness of his lyrics is accentuated by the rumble and rasp of his voice, a voice that sounded old even when he was young. The people he usually sings about are loners, losers, hobos, outlaws and drunks. ![]() There's always been an element of mystery surrounding his life. The New York Times once described him as the poet of outcasts. Tom Waits is one of the true eccentrics of pop music. I'm David Bianculli, professor of television studies at Rowan University in New Jersey, in for Terry Gross. They are well taken care of at their father’s house, but there are a total of eight kids there, and I don’t feel she will get enough attention.This is FRESH AIR. I’m proud of my daughter for being strong enough to make this decision, but I just can’t help but feel like I’ve done something wrong. ![]() I’m heartbroken, but I refuse to stoop to their level and make her feel guilty. I know his side of the family has always made her feel guilty for leaving there, and I feel like they worked on her all summer. At the last minute, three days before she was to come home, she decided to remain with her father, who lives in another state. She lived with us for two years and was planning on doing so again this school year. The next year my daughter decided to move in with us. Three years ago, I married my amazing husband. We never went to court we decided custody on our own. Due to my past, they lived with their father. My oldest children were born while I was actively addicted to drugs and alcohol. If she doesn’t, then go without her to help you figure out what your next steps should be.ĭear Abby: I am a mother of three amazing children, ages 14, 10 and 1. If she agrees, it may save your marriage. While I don’t think this is the hill you will die on, it may be the one your MARRIAGE will die on, because, without trust, there can be no marriage.īecause you and your wife can no longer communicate effectively, offer her the option of counseling. You are a husband who suspects his wife may be doing something nefarious because she has become so secretive that trust has become an issue. Am I an idiot, as I’ve been told?ĭear One-Way: No, you’re not an idiot. I’m thinking the openness is one-way, and it’s not working for me. But my phone is open and she knows all my passwords to it as well as the computer. Touching her phone would be a major crime. ![]() I’m wondering if this is the hill I will die on. When I asked about it, she said it’s private and has nothing to do with me. I saw something that, from my standpoint, is out of bounds for a married woman. I don’t think there should be any secrets between us, and I’m feeling uncomfortable about this. My issue is, she thinks it’s OK for her social life to be private. I’m old school - no Facebook or social media, although I do follow sports on Twitter. Dear Abby: My wife and I have been together for 26 years. ![]()
