Without her mask and hood.
I fashioned her after this young woman -- an image I have never forgotten.
My wife has an Ol' 56 Oldsmobile. I just replaced the fuel pump and some brake linkage. It's time to sell. She has it listed on Auto Trader. The .50 cals are not included.
Wonderful shots and love the Tom Waits tune. Tom Waits' "young" voice was so much different than his ragged, harsh "later" voice.
Smoking will do that to your voice. I wonder what kind of car he had in mind. I suspect it was a Chevy. My Grandmother had a '55 Bel Air, yellow and white.
I do like Waits and Cohen .)
Cohen, right, compare Dance Me to the End of Love to Suzanne from years earlier. I smoked cigarettes heavily for about 25 years or so, but only smoke an occasional cigar now. Hey, at my age something is gonna kill me -- and sooner rather than later. So, I may as well enjoy life and do what I want.
That journey for me took about 8 hours, roads and motorways here are rubbish, and there's always roadworks plus some stretches of road are 50mph, I think Lands End to John O'groats is the longest trip it's about 850 mile and takes about 14 hours.
I'll checkout that song thanks .)
Very unusual for Tow W. I would not have known if you hadn't told me
Really a different voice for Tom Waits. Almost sounds as "pretty" as the Eagles version of the song.
Used to do security in Joburg, we'd work 7 days dayshift, 7 days night, 7 off - 12 hour shifts each day, about 10 of which was spent patrolling - i.e. driving around, so god only knows how many miles, lol. I CAN tell you that after 2 years of that, the seats were completely FLAT!
She's a lovely lass indeed 😉
✌️
fun set and enjoyed the song... his voice a bit strained but cool
furthest I drove without sleep, Pheonix to Shreveport was the longest stretch roughly 1300 miles. I was going back and forth from West Coast to Louisiana. Yes, roll the window down please! 😁😂🤣. Was in a '76 Chevy step side P/U. Stopped at a lot of Waffle Houses back then.
Smothered, covered, chunked, diced, topped and so on.
I've been drivin' all night, my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', sayin', "I need you here"
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
I just remembered that I have driven from Phoenix to Hammond a couple times in recent years, but I gotta stop. Texas is a big state.
I got no time to eat
I got no time to sleep
I got a truck full of stuff
Should've been there last week
I've been livin' in truck stops
My body feels used
Got the hamburger that's right, yeah
The kentucky fried blues
