Tom Waits and Bette Midler are singing about not talking to strangers while sounding like two people who've talked to a lot of strangers.

It's almost closing time at the #NittyGrittyDiveBar
In the early 1980s, "Single Women" went from an SNL sketch to a Dolly Parton country hit.

I normally spam the crap out of you poor people on Mastodon, and #NittyGrittyDiveBar would describe some of my favorite #Music, so I've held back today to try to show some restraint and compassion. Sometimes, though, you just need to play some Tom Waits, so let's sneak one in at the end of #TuneTuesday.

A #NittyGrittyDiveBar is the only kind of bar to find oneself inside. To celebrate this #TuneTuesday pull up a cracked stool, drape your tired elbows on the rail and let me regale you with some #Music. You could play any tune from one of this guy's first seven albums and not go wrong here, so it's just appropriate to feature the patron saint of broken dreams and lost causes.

Today's theme: music to listen to in a dive bar.
Guessing here since it's not my scene at all, but I think this is the kind of music I'd want to listen to if I were hanging out and not thinking about the world.
Morphine – Cure for Pain

When I think dive bar energy, I think of Del Amitri. I also think about trying to charter transport to a quarantined planet from a big-eared alien, but I probably shouldn't.
Del Amitri - "The Ones That You Love Lead You Nowhere"

This week's #TuneTuesaday theme is #NittyGrittyDiveBar - sounds for an insalubrious drinking establishment.
I have a few suggestions, but:
Children of Bodom - Trashed, Lost & Strungout

ROBBIE FULKS making small talk in a #NittyGrittyDiveBar on #TuneTuesday
"You caught my eye clear across the bar
That's a hell of a walk
What's a girl like you (hic)
My sign is (hic)" -
This Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song is a warning to never buy a used pickup truck from Craigslist in Nashville.
plus...
Don't drink and drive!

So, I saw this week's Tune Tuesday theme of Nitty Gritty Dive Bar songs and I'm like, "Hmm."
No ideas.
Then I had an idea.
Barenaked Ladies - Alcohol https://song.link/us/i/1391134561

This week's Tune Tuesday is songs to hear in a dive bar. I immediately thought of this PSY song. Mostly because while out drinking, songs about drinking always slap.
PSY Feat. Leessang "애주가"

This band comes in at the top of the list of music I'd like to hear in a dive bar. I also wouldn't be at all surprised to find the band members nursing a beer (or four) inside when I walk in the door.
Supersuckers, "Roadworn and Weary" (1997)

Here's another #NittyGrittyDiveBar #TuneTuesday song, for the now immortal Mick Ralphs, the Bad Company take on his Mott composition Ready for Love...

This #TuneTuesday’s theme is #NittyGrittyDiveBar
@JillsJoy would like to know what music you would want to listen to while in a small not fancy pub ?
The first artist that came to mind was
Sharon Shannon
Traditional Irish Session at Monroe's Galway. With Donal Lunny , Sharon Shannon and more.

What music would I wanna listen to while in a #NittyGrittyDiveBar ? That's an easy #TuneTuesday question raised by JillsJoy.
My first thought was Maria Tecce's cover of Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis, but @derthomas beat me to the song.
So we're gonna go with some Texas swing. Here's Red Meat with The Girl With The Biggest Hair and the Longest Nails.

Andre Manuel joins Tom Waits and the Levellers in the #NittyGrittyDiveBar
I've had the pleasure to roam the bars in our town with him after his performance at the Boulevard festival.
He recently announced he wont be playing #ZwarteCross anymore because he doesn't want to be associated with the KKR investor.
