| Tom Waits – Downtown Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I wonder if the "Sugarman" Waits talks about in this song is in anyway related to " Sixto Rodriguez"; folk artist from the early 70's who disappeared from public life. There was a documentary made about him called Searching for Sugarman from 2012. This movie is very interesting, with a couple film makers that try to figure out what happened to this enigmatic artist. In my opinion there are so many Tom Waits songs that could use this same treatment. I don't think that we'd ever get a straight answer from Tom himself, but I myself would love to know the story behind a lot of the lyrics in most of his songs. | |
