@thomasurquhart507 Old comment, but I'll counter Mark Lanegan. Should've hopefully already heard of him, if not, you're in for a treat. He's like Tom Waits's doppelganger, they both have very gravelly baritone singing voices and a wide and intense range. Even look basically the same. Very different songwriting, I can tell from the lyrics easily who wrote what. They are much more alike than different though. Mark Lanegan's more dark and drug/rock and roll, and Tom Waits while also very dark is also a lot stranger and a bit more poetic. There are many songs/albums with Lanegan to check out though. He has an extensive solo and features discography, with some fantastic solo albums and a lot of work with people like Isobel Campbell, PJ Harvey, Duff McKagan, Skeleton Joe, Greg Dulli, Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri. He started with Screaming Trees in the 80s/90s singing more old-school psychadelic rock style music. In the early 2000s, his work with Queens of the Stone Age on Songs for the Deaf and Rated R was phenomenal, some of my favorite songs by him in there. You should check out Song for the Dead and In the Fade by QotSA, Nearly Lost You and All I Know by ScreamingTrees, and Idle Hands by Gutter Twins. Outside of bands he played with, his album Bubblegum is my favorite followed by probably Blues Funeral. His folk albums are great too though, Whiskey For The Holy Ghost being my favorite, but they're all dope. I love a lot of his duets with Isobel Campbell too, especially the Townes van Zandt covers. Not one of his albums is bad and a good number of his albums are fantastic front to back. Sorry for the drunken ramble 4 months out. But if you haven't heard of him, you should check him out.

@@thedolphin5428 : He said he just got off a 22 hour flight from Paris, he might be on drugs a little (but seems pretty lucid to me), and he always puts on this hobo act (I mean that respectfully) in interviews (look at him on Letterman in 1983, still very similar persona but a little looser because they know each other). So half-real / half-character (and he likes those brokendown early 20th Century hobo type people so he has grown to emulate them himself). If the host didn't know him at all, of course it would be very off-putting. But I think Don Lane handled it pretty well, playing along, but not going over the top too much.

I said what I said, I wont pretend I didn't by erasing a comment, but my feelings have completely changed, went from thinking he was shit to thinking he is gold.

Looking at this I can definitely see the inspiration behind Ledger's Joker character. Turns out they were also cast to play in another film roughly around the same time as TDK. Another eerie coincidence is that Heath was born in Australia the same year of the first Interview with Don Lane. In all, pretty cool to see where he drew part of his inspiration from. His performance was definitely one of the best in Super Hero (live action) film history.

In Early 1976 I picked up Tom Waits in my cab on Spruce Street in Phila around 10 pm. He told me who he was and where he would like to go, which was Bala Cynwyd just North of CityLine Avenue. I told him that I had never heard of him and he said that was alright, that not alot had at that time. We stopped at Days Deli on Spruce Street so he could get a sandwich to take with him and asked me if I wanted anything. I said no thanks and then we left a few minutes later. I never forgot his name and remembered who he said he was. Later in 1976 I flew to Rome and was there and in Florence for a little over a week. Then on to Munich and then to London. I was in London for about 3 days and was on the bus from Victoria Station going to Hethrow Airport. The bus passed the London Palladium and their on the markee in front was a sign: Tom Waits would appear for a concert and it mentioned a date I cant remember. That's when I realized who he was. It was great to meet him and I'm sorry I didnt recognize him in Phila. I'm glad he's still going.

I just watched this interview for the first time and I read as many comments as my attention span would allow.I'd just like to say that this is vintage Tom Waits. He's a great actor. To say he's drunk is to not get Waits. The interviewer on the other hand has no idea how to deal with Waits. He's trying to compete with Waits and he has no chance, and his nervousness is painful to watch, because he knows he doesn't know how to handle Waits. Wait's himself is cool as a cucumber, despite the condescending comedy of the interviewer. It's one of the most painful interviews I've ever seen, but you keep watching because it's fascinating to watch Waits never break character. And when he finally starts performing at the piano, as a viewer I wanted Waits to elbow the interviewer off the piano bench. But Waits doesn't skip a beat and gives the performance of a lifetime.

Not wrong joker, there is no wrong joker, this does actually remind me of the interview with maury in Joker, I wonder if influences were taken from this for Joker

Tom Waits not only is a great singer, songwriter, but also has acting chops. This is him doing his schtick -- his persona, his performance art.

Tom Waits' interviews are legendary. He doesn't seem to take journalists seriously and who can blame him for that. This one's from 1979.

I think the interviewer genuinely likes Waits, and both of them seem to be amused by making fun of eachother. Great interview.

Imagine this You have arrived by plane straight from a late night singing show, there are drinks in the plane so you take a few to help you sleep, then you wake up, and you take a ride to an interview... You definitely would not be able to even speak. So the fact that he is responding to questions is fucking amazing

This host is as professional as can be, trying to mirror the body language and be hospitable, but Tom Waits is, um, insane, so he's having a hell of a time of it. And the audience seems to enjoy that. And I enjoy that.
