Terrance:

I too, am a big Tom Waits fan, but
would just like to point out wherever
you got your lyrics from must obviously
refer to Hackensack, NJ (practically a
homonym, no?).  The town is due west and
slightly north of the Meadowlands, Jimmy
Hoffa's reputed resting place.  Waits also
penned (and eventually married) a Jersey Girl.
Incredible talent.  Almost equivalent to
Capt Beefheart (Don Van Vliet).  Lucky I got
to see them both in person before my self
imposed exile to the desert.

I like this list, find it entertaining and erudite,
but I agree, the flame wars are sophomoric and tiresome.
