He's Playing My Song

As I went to pay for parking as I left from my first of two visits to my mother at Sisters' Hospital yesterday, I heard familiar music coming from the attendant's booth; I was impressed because the attendant looked like a 20-22-year old athletic male Canisius College/other college student.
"A big Tom Waits fan, huh?" I asked. His expression went from slightly bored to a wide smile."Yes, you bet. My roommates can't stand his voice, but I just tell them that they're crazy," he replied. "It just shows you what kind of roommates you can get," I responded.
