Bravo to El Paso, Texas for being cool enough to surprise Tom Waits onstage and present him with a key to the city.
Apparently, during the show, Mr. Waits had just finished pounding away at the piano when a uniformed officer of the El Paso Police department walked onstage to announce the presentation from an El Paso council woman, who came onstage and presented a nicely mounted key to the city to Good Ol' Tom as the crowd roared in applause. Despite the surprise, Mr. Waits kept his characteristic quick wit, thanking the city and saying,
"Apparently this fits every lock in El Paso. If you find me in your living room in my underwear, we have an understanding."
