Tom Waits Turns a Timeless 75 Years Old

As Tom Waits moves into his diamond jubilee, he reminds us how important independent artists are to the American sensibility. For the last 50 years he has taken us on a midnight ride through his own imaginative universe of outcasts, misfits and surly apostate street saints. While his milestone age symbolizes durability, beauty and strength, he has created a body of work that dares us to encounter and find meaning in the underbelly of the American Dream.
