In an interview discussing his new album “Alice”, the always interesting Tom Waits shares his view of the music business…
”Most people in show business are mining the strangeness that’s inside of them. I tried for a long time to be like everybody else. You know, there’s only seven haircuts available at the barbershop and a certain limited supply of shoes. But at some point, if you do have things about you that are irreconcilable, you say to yourself, ‘Maybe I can make some money out of this.’ You join the circus. That’s what music is. So that’s what I did.”
