Musical Monday with Tom Waits

Downtown Train (1985)
Starring: Tom Waits and Jake LaMotta
Director: Jean-Baptiste Mondino
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

When the moon is full, a weirdo (Waits) spends the night singing, bringing entertainment or exasperation to the residents of an inner-city neighborhood during the 1950s. (And he's lucky he doesn't live in the same neighborhood as this guy!)

 The teaser summary above is the set-up and story (such as it is) of the very creative video for "Downtown Train". The song was a single from Tom Waits' 1984 album "Rain Dogs". I can take or leave the song, but I love the video--including the odd tag at the end with Waits on the waterfront.

Fun Fact: There are no trains, downtown-bound or otherwise, in this video.
