I found this letter to the editor printed in the Argus Leader about 10 years ago. The first two paragraphs are good. I’m wondering how she conceived a son if she never takes her clothes off?

ROMEO IS BLEEDING

Okay, everyone knows I can’t keep a F’nkn secret very long. This is my themed painting project I have been working on; Paintings influenced by Tom Waits’ songs. I have seven completed (I posted 5 of them) I have to take pictures of the last two I did, ‘Romeo is Bleeding’ and ‘Pasties and a G-string’.

I’m not sure how many I will do, but as my close friends know, I am a monster fan of his music, I often refer to him as GOD. I have always been opposed to THEMED SHOWS but I really didn’t want to show in Sioux Falls anymore and I needed a niche. It is something I have thought about for a long time and thought it was appropriate. I’m currently working on trying to get a show in San Fran or Minneapolis, will see how that goes.

The one I am working on now is ‘Buzz Fledderjohn’s Yard’ (sp?)

This one is my first in the series:
