In his varied career, he has acted alongside Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, and Lily Tomlin; his songs have been covered by artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Sarah McLachlan, the Eagles, and the Ramones; he's won two Grammys, a Golden Globe, and been nominated for an Oscar; he's coined unforgettable phrases like "better a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" and "champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends"; and he's made anyone who's ever listened to his music just that much cooler. <p/> Here is Tom Waits in all his mischievous splendor. From a <i>New</i><i>Yorker </i>"Talk of the Town" in 1976 to an interview by Terry Gilliam in 1999; from album reviews by Luc Sante and David Fricke to conversations with Elvis Costello and Roberto Benigni; from a recent profile in <i>GQ </i>to "20 Questions" in <i>Playboy </i>and poems by Charles Bukowski that perfectly captures the Waitsian world<i>, </i> this is the must-have book for every fan of the artist Beck has described as a "luminary," and for music fans everywhere.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mac Montandon</b> is the editor of <i>Innocent When You Dream: The Tom Waits Reader</i>.
