From the "You just can't make this stuff up" file comes news that the Vatican -- the Vatican -- approves of Tom Waits.
That's Tom "I left my Bible by the side of the road" Waits.
Tom "I don't go to Church on Sunday" Waits.
Tom "I feel like a preacher waving a gun around" Waits.
Tom ... well, you get the idea.
Here's an excerpt (but do read the entire, brief article):
Drugs, alcohol and sex: why the Jesuits like Tom Waits
The Times of London
March 17, 2007
Barely a week after Pope Benedict XVI disclosed his dislike for the “prophets of pop” and Bob Dylan in particular, the Jesuits in Rome have embraced Waits as a Christian role model.
The latest issue of Civilta Cattolica, a Jesuit journal, the contents of which are subject to Vatican approval, says that Waits represents “the marginalised and misunderstood.”
True, but incredible!
I can't resist posting this, my favorite performance from the still-yet-to-be-released-on-DVD Big Time (1988).
