Question for Tom Waits: What's scary to you?
Waits’ response (via):
- A dead man in the back seat of a car with a fly crawling on his eyeball.
- Turbulence on any airline.
- Sirens and searchlights combined.
- Gunfire at night in bad neighbourhoods.
- Car motor turning over but not starting, it’s getting dark and starting to rain.
- Jail door closing.
- Going around a sharp curve on the Pacific Coast Highway and the driver of your car has had a heart attack and died, and you’re in the back seat.
- You are delivering mail and you are confronted with a Dobermann with rabies growling low and showing teeth… you have no dog bones and he wants to bite your ass off.
- In a movie… which wire do you cut to stop the time bomb, the green or the blue?
- McCain will win.
- Germans with sub-machine guns.
- Officers, in offices, being official.
- You fell through the ice in the creek and it carried you downstream, and now as you surface you realise there’s a roof of ice.
Well said, Tom. Well said.
I heart Tom and his dark, weird little mind.
