In another fit of brilliance—for those of you keeping score at home, this is approximately fit of brilliance number 12,425—previously mentioned Tom Waits released an interview a few weeks ago that I just caught wind of. I don't want to give too much away but both the interviewer and interviewee are captivating and screwed up inside... in a good way.

Once you've clicked the title above and have been hooked in by a killer of a lead sentence, you had better read all the way to the last line or you'll miss out on some of the many iotas of humor and wisdom tucked away in the folds.

Trust me. Tom Waits knows if you didn't make it to the end. And he can get cranky, I hear.
