It's an act...and it's brilliant. I love it. I love Tom Waits. Saw him at the Atlanta show and it was the most amazing thing I think I'll ever see.

I missed the joke. ... ( 3 weeks ago by kirk7524875248)

I missed the joke. I got the first part, "People envy happines". That makes sense. But the other part, why is that funny? Hey, I'm open. explain it to me. Sorry that I don't get it.

You just have to go ... ( 3 weeks ago by millicentbistander)

You just have to go with it man. Ride the Tom Waits hydra or fall in line with the rest of the world's perfect sense. Sometimes things don't have to make sense in order to be brilliant, which is often why they are in fact just that. It made perfect sense to me, an intelligent masterpiece. Try watching the video blindfolded with the volume turned off. This may unlock the mystery for which you are searching. Good luck!

The fact that the acronym starts off almost making sense, then falls into complete nonsense kind of *is* the joke.

"ASSets." ( 1 week ago by JeffVoss)

"ASSets."

JeffVoss, you know ... ( 1 week ago by kirk7524875248)

JeffVoss, you know this just goes to show my low level of intelligence. Another guy told me that it was totally clear to him as well! "ASSets." I still don't get it. Now, I know Tom isn't so supreficial as to equate happiness with a piece of ass. That's far beneath him. Although I know he would be laughing at our discussion, like, "Ha ha, you guys bought into it!" But nobody has told me what he means by "ASSets". I know it ain't "ass" brother:)) So what do you think he is alluding to?

I'm sorry to ruin ... ( 1 week ago by JeffVoss)

I'm sorry to ruin your image of Tom Waits, but it's pretty clear to me he is referring to "ass" when he says "assets". When you say it's far beneath him, it makes me think you're putting him too high on a pedestal. Tom has outstanding songwriting ability, and he has an eccentric personality to say the least. This doesn't mean he is above making a dirty joke or thinking a sexual reference is funny, though.

Array ( 1 week ago by kirk7524875248)

JeffVoss, Well, I appreciate that! I think I was indeed thinking toooo lofty. Like when he said, "How is your mother? Ha ha!" But, I was mislead by his brilliance, and I was looking for more than a dirty joke. I love Tom! I think that there are many out there who will see more into that "joke" than what you said. But, you know I think you're right. It's just a bit of silliness, which I LOVE!!! Very Cool! Thanks! -Kirk
