[UA] RE - Tom Waits Songs As Campaign Material

[Judd Karlman]

Small Change, a spoke word piece by Waits always struck me as the beginning of a murder mystery adventure.
 
from Small Change:
 
Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight,
And nobody flinched down by the arcade
And the marquees weren't weeping, they went stark-raving mad,
And the cabbies were the only ones that really had it made
And his cold trousers were twisted, and the sirens high and shrill,
And crumpled in his fist was a five-dollar bill
And the naked mannequins with their Cheshire grins,
And the raconteurs and roustabouts said "Buddy, come on in, 'cause
'Cause the dreams ain't broken down here now, they're walking with a limp
Now that Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight"

 
and Rain Dogs sounds like the name and description of a cabal somewhere...
 
from Rain Dogs:
Inside a broken clock, splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk, huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too

I have had similiar thoughts about Tom Waits songs.
 
Let us know how that works out.  I dig the web site, particularly the dispatcher.
