| Tom Waits – Invitation to the Blues Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I'm not an American, so will someone be kind enough to tell me, when Tom waits speaks of getting a room at the Squire, what he means. Is this a well-known chain of hotels/motels. The other thing is "the counter of the Schwab's drug store", which also makes it sound like a chain of sorts, though the only mention I can find on the Net is Schwab's Pharmacy in LA. (This song - also one of my favourites, by the way, on what to me is the greatest of Waits's albums - sounds to me as if it's set in a smallish town.) I'd be grateful for any background anyone can supply. | |
