State of the civilization – February 2011

Ping hyller Tom Waits på Rockefeller

Mandag 7. desember runder vår alles Tom Waits 60 år. I den anledning trommer et kobbel norske og svenske artister sammen til storslagen feiring på Rockefeller. Som kjent er Jørgen i barselperm til nyttår, men for en kvelds skyld lar han barn være barn og tar whiskeyrøsten med på scenen igjen. Vi gleder oss! !
