[@thedolphin5428]

Don Lane is ok because he doesn't take himself or his job too seriously.

[@thedolphin5428]

@Coitus Handguns Tom is like many serious creative greats -- hates the spotlight and superficial interviews, they toy with their host and audience because they just don't give a fuck who likes them. But their agents say "you gotta do this show for your tour". He has a looooooog history of booze.

[@thedolphin5428]

@Coitus Handguns Human behaviours are always multifactorial. Long held insecurities, alcoholic withdrawal or alcoholic looseness, a few uppers or downers backstage, fear of the spotlight, resentful hate for the media, "same old fucking questions" mentality ... could be any of them! But my basic impression is of a guy who just doesn't want to be there!

[@VideoNozoki]

@@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.

[@tamamara]

@@AsTheWheelsTurn his cover of Somewhere from West Side Story is stunning. His voice isn’t for everyone though.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

@@tamamara what is funny is after I made this comment I couldn't help but look at more of his music, just out of curiosity and pretty sure made at least one other similar bad comment but then somehow, 4 or 5 videos in, instead of continuing to have the foul opinion I started with I found myself really LIKING his music. I am impressed by the wide range of songs he has,and his lyrics are right up there with Bob Dylan, its not all one style and the voice ... well I guess you can say its an acquired taste, first listen I was just like what the ff?...... but my opinion has changed, Truth is,he is without question, an incredible songwriter and has taken a voice only a mother could love and managed to use it artistically and have a unique sound. now I wish I had not left such a judgmental comment, I will leave it up there though! 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. I really love his song "hold on" and also "hell broke luce" they both have some real depth of meaning and such wildy different style from one to the other.

[@bluesmusicandwhatnot2845]

@@chicoravelli5703 he had a recent Letterman interview where he behaves much more “normally”, and it goes like a normal Letterman interview more or less.

[@atlien1988]

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.

[@LeBakalite]

They also played together in Dr Parnassus; but le'ts not draw conclusions too fast, it would denature Heath ledger's awesome work.

[@raywilliams5099]

LeBakalite why? Actors often find inspiration from others. It takes nothing away from his genius that he saw this guys behavior and realized he could translate it into the joker. He nailed it.

[@atlien1988]

I don't believe there was nothing coincidental about it. They were acting in a movie around the same time he was working on Dark Knight. Heath used his mannerisms for the role, but obviously used his great acting skills to make the character come to life and appear more believable.

[@irvinggarcia7365]

To anybody here saying he's on any drugs, he isn't. Through this point in his life time he had anxiety, that's why he tended to keep himself together and look away from the audience very often. His fedora was tilted so that his face would be hidden. The interviewer did a really good job in making Tom Waits feel comfortable.

[@johndunkle740]

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.
