Happy birthday Tom Waits! Read our 1999 feature on the the singer-songwriter
. “I wasn’t very adventurous,” Waits says, explaining why he ditched the genteel-beatnik act in the Eighties. “Most people, when they start out, are much more adventurous. As they get older, they get more complacent. I started out complacent and got more adventurous.”
“I would wind up in these very strange places – these rooms with stains on the wallpaper, foggy voices down the hall, sharing a bathroom with a guy with a hernia. I’d watch TV with old men in the lobby. I knew there was music in those places – and stories. That’s what I was looking for.” Brennan declined to be interviewed for this story. Waits, too, is privacy-conscious; he is politely sketchy about his personal life, the location of his home and the couple’s three children, Casey, Kellesimone and Sullivan. But he talks about how he and Brennan work together – with a rented piano in a local hotel room – and describes co-writing as “a sack race. You learn to move forward together.
He is quite happy with the shadowy, personalized space he inhabits in popular music, way off Celebrity Highway. Waits’ work is critically respected; his songs have been covered by Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen and the Ramones, among others.
