Tom Waits Video Promos for “Rain Dogs” and “Franks Wild Years”

Tom Waits turned 61 a week ago (on Pearl Harbor Day). Happy Birthday, Tom.

Above is a brief promo video for his classic 1985 album Rain Dogs set in a barbershop. And below some suspect ventriloquism to promote the album Franks Wild Years in 1987.

Actor, nerd, poet, producer, writer mikl-em made his name short so you wouldn't have to. In addition to his blog you can find his writing in "Hi Fructose" magazine and witness him almost life-sized in various plays at The Dark Room Theater in SF's Mission district.

He tends to write about theater, humor, San Francisco culture and history, and stuff that's just plain weird. He thanks Scott for sharing the keys to the Laughing Squid virtual HQ and promises to uphold whatever it is that the mirthful cephalopod would prefer to be uplifted.
