Photo reblogged from Pitchfork with 128 notes

I dunno. If this is posing, it’s with a certain pathos. pitchfork: Tom Waits talks to The New York Times about a 1980s shoot with legendary photographer Robert Frank: “The record was called Rain Dogs, so we were expecting to find a rainy day, which we did not find. But we found the one rain puddle in the whole park, and I’m kind of down there like a dog. Maybe that was the idea: I’m gonna get down on the dog’s level, and then Robert would get there at a dog’s level with me. Anyway, I don’t know why people in music seem to want to squat down. Maybe we just want to feel close to the earth. I’m still down there, actually. I’m squatting right now.” I dunno. If this is posing, it’s with a certain pathos.
