Here’s another great interview with Tom Waits: the Pitchfork Interview With Tom Waits.
Among the other snippets, I learned the following:
• his 21-year-old son (who is taller than Waits) tours with him, playing drums
• he loves the music of Missy Elliott
• before he met his wife, Kathleen Brennan, he didn’t care for his records properly (“most of my records were out of their sleeves and in a drawer somewhere”)
• his favourite sound in the world is bacon frying (“it sounds like the pops and cracks on an old 33 1/3 recording”)
He also talks about the media and privacy, his voice, songwriting, and much more. Make sure you read right through to the end—it’s a great way to end an interview.
