I'm getting to see Tom Waits today. And today's idea is me figuring out what I think he is really doing.

You see Tom Waits almost never tours. Two years ago he playing like 9 shows. And this year he is doing about 12. The tour two years ago took him through some random places in the midwest. This year's tour is through the south. Tonight he is playing Arizona where he hasn't played in 30 years.

So my thinking is that he's thinking, maybe you haven't been to Arizona in 30 years either. He's touring to get you to visit places he thinks you should go. So like, yeah, the midwest doesn't get enough tourism. Somebody like Tom Waits comes around and all these people from the rest of the country really wanna see him they have to come to the midwest too.

Seems like sort of a good plan to me. Tours and tourism.
