Born On This Day: Nige

In the eye of the raging workstorm, I achieve my 62nd birthday today - as does my exact coeval, dear old Tom Waits. Sadly, Edmundo Ros, having reached his 100th on this day last year, is no longer with us. Why does He always take the best ones first? (as the priest said at Father Jack's funeral, or something like it)...

    Although it would be wrong to imagine that the real Tom is a reflection of his early songbook ('Bad Liver and a Broken Heart'), he looks pretty beaten up for a 62 year old. Tie a few on, and have a great day Nige

    Happy Birthday Nige (and Tom, see Banished's Bugs)

    To be fair Waits spent his early years trying to look and sound like a 60 year old drink addled ex hipster and now hes nearly there he could be worse.

    To extend Brit's theme, the year comes to feel like a revolving door. Do we exit? Not yet. Not with friends like Nige still among us. The ride would turn less interesting without you. Happy birthday, Nige.
