The parallel careers of Tom Waits and Robin Williams
Very different vibes, similar vices.
Tom Waits
“He’s gonna be here in 100 years”: The songwriter Jack Black thinks will outlive us all
Carrying on for generations.
Tom Waits’ strange fascination with moles: “They live out their life like a decorated soldier”
“It takes an understanding of physics and engineering, that type of thing”.
The four artists PJ Harvey admired most: “Interested in the same thing”
“I hope I can maintain that…”
‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’: The song Tom Waits said he listened to 10,000 times
Back in his pizza-making days.
The song so good Billy Bob Thornton can’t even listen to it: “It’s a shame”
Sort of defeats the purpose, no?
