[ z ē ' n ĭ t h ] -noun 1. an arch wherethrough gleams that untraveled world…“I Don’t Wanna Grow Up”
By Jon H. Jones • May 26th, 2008 • Category: Music for the Genteel SavageTwo versions of “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up”, by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan: First the original, by Tom Waits, followed by a cover by Hong Kong singer Anthony Wong Yiu Ming.
The Ramones did a fun version on their album ¡Adios Amigos!, but I couldn’t find an mp3 to stream for you. Here it is on YouTube:
Jon H. Jones is braver than anybody thought, it would seem, especially himself: with no money and no job and no plans, he packed a suitcase and took a bus across the country. Las Vegas is more than he could have hoped for, and he plans to get under its skin and make it his home.
He's one of those creative sorts, you know, a writer and photographer and so on, and he likes to live his life the same way--get struck by inspiration and have faith that if he keeps working at it, something amazing will happen. So far it always has. Life's funny that way.
