Moment of Zen

Excerpt from recent Tom Waits interview

So what do you think of Scarlett Johansson doing an entire album consisting of covers of your songs?

TW: Well, some songs are meant to be recorded by other people. Those are the seeds in the tomato, you know? You expect that someone will hear it and might want to interpret it themselves. So we’ll see.
Yeah, hey, you might have a whole new audience of 14-year olds!
TW: Oh yeah, the teeny-boppers; it’ll be like The Beatles concerts...girls crying; holding pictures of me and coming apart emotionally behind police barricades.
