Californian singer, songwriter, and actor Tom Waits is a guest on The Late Late Show. Introducing Tom Waits, Gay Byrne asks him about the background to his writing.
All your songs Tom seem to be about a sort of a seedy way of life. How come?
Seated at a piano, a somewhat reluctant but humorous interviewee, Tom Waits talks briefly about his childhood, growing up in California and how he got into music.
Responding to a question about when he started writing he says; "I was born at a very young age, and I actually didn't start writing until I was in my teens." Refuting myths of a hobo lifestyle he says; Actually I'm a very happily married man.
I don't go out much at all. I used to stay out late. Gay Byrne also speaks to Tom's wife, Kathleen Brennan who is sitting in the audience. Kathleen talks about her Irish roots, and how she met Tom.
Joking she says, I was a nun and he fell asleep in the church and I woke him up. In fact, they met at Coppola Studios where Kathleen was working as a story analyst and Tom Waits was recording. Kathleen talks about her fondness for Tralee, County Kerry where the couple have spent time. Tom Waits had been recording at Ballyseede Castle.
This episode of 'The Late Late Show' was broadcast on 21 February 1981. The presenter is Gay Byrne.

Today is Tom Wait’s birthday. That means it’s an auspicious day to:
Work on your car
Busk near the subway
Call up an old flame
Roll your own cigarettes
Eat at a greasy spoon
Tell creepy stories
Visit a carnival
Buy shoe polish from a woman near a creek
Confront the face on the backside of your head
Create an instrument from what you can find in a dumpster
Create an instrument out of your own voice by making hissing sounds
Call God out over the misery He has visited upon the world
Eat gravel
It’s Tom Waits’ 70th birthday today so get out there and make some auspicious yet slightly ominous moves 💀
it’s his 75th birthday today, you know what that means. it’s an auspicious day to:
learn to play accordion
sell bullfrogs to a circus geek
get a tattoo using a cassette motor and guitar string
open a tiny little bookie joint
visit New Orleans
find out, once and for all, what he’s building in there
smuggle your rum
order your eggs over-medium or scrambled
feel like a preacher waving a gun around
go Out West
make it rain
leave Waukegan at the slammin’ of the door
huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
Happy Birthday Tom Waits ♡
I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.
Tom Waits
happy birthday Mr. Waits
Happy Birthday Tom Waits ♡

Nov. 20th is Trans Day of Remembrance! Where we remember those who were lost to transphobia, discrimination, and su*cide.
We make up 1% of the population and are constantly the topic of discussion. I've been told I'm broken, r*trded, and more. Others have been attacked verbally/physically to a point of no longer being here. The best thing we can do is remember we're not alone, and outlive the hate. Spread kindness and love, and remember, it gets better.
You don't have to be out, you don't have to be alone, you are not broken, there are people who will understand you. :) Please be safe.
