I just can’t get enough of this funky stuff.  I felt the need to highlight the song currently on replay in my player. God’s Away On Business is a track on Tom Waits album, Blood Money, from 2002.  It’s not a new album, silly. I just wanted to share it.  Incisive, bitter and somewhat  haunting, this song resonates strongly with many troubled souls on problems in the world today.  His style has a heavy blues influence, his music contains a veritable cornucopia of instrumental genius, and his voice is different than anything we’ll ever hear on radio today.  It may take a moment to grow on you and even if he’s not your style this song deserves a listen.

During my incubation period, the world could barely withstand the strain as it shook with anticipation. My arrival was met with devastation to Mexico and Argentina via earthquake, Canada was ripped through by a swarm of tornadoes, and Hurricane Gloria mangled the east coast of North America. It was as though the elements were sounding the arrival of their king with all the vigor they could muster. Pleased to meet you, won't you guess my name?
