Tom Waits and the deficit of wonder

Tom Waits Library - Biography - Quotes: "This is what's wrong with the world. Everything is explained now. We live in an age when you say casually to somebody 'What's the story on that?' and they can run to the computer and tell you within five seconds. That's fine, but sometimes I'd just as soon continue wondering. We have a deficit of wonder right now." (Source: "Tom Waits: Dancing In The Dark Harp Magazine (USA), by Tom Moon. December, 2004)
