I used to hear him a lot some decades ago, when FM music was a thing.
I could tell what he was doing was high quality performance art, but I’ve never been able to tolerate his voice for very long. The voice seemed torturous. But to each his own.
Thanks for the reminder. ;-)
If you love him, maybe capitalize his name?
Tom is a SoCal boy. His song about LA Skid Row, “On the Nickle” (5th Street), Is about as good as it gets.
