Tom Waits = The Joker


We all love Tom Waits (at least we fucking better). We also all love Heath Ledger's take on the Joker (at least we fucking better). Are the two related? Watch this painfully awkward TW interview from 1979 and you tell me (at least you fucking better).

Ledger is just one of the more recent ones. Christian Slater has been doing Tom Waits for twenty-five years.

Aw, I thought he was doing Jack Nicholson.

I know!! That's what everyone thought.

I kept waiting for him to jab a pencil in the guy's eye.

This is the category known as "interview as performance art."

Too painful to watch for more than a few minutes. Waits is trying so goddamned hard to be weird.
