Tom Waits: „Ich bin ein Mann ohne Heimat, und an die Sünde glaube ich nicht.“
Mojo Magazine, April 1999
Barney Hoskyns: Did you share many Fans`view that Small Change was the crowning moment of your beatnik-glory-meets-Hollywood-noir-period?
T.W.: Well,gee.I´d say there`s probably more songs off that record that I continued to play on the road, and that endured. Some songs you may write and record but you never sing them again. Others you sing ´em every night and try and figure out what they mean. Tom Traubert`s Blues was certainly one of those songs I continued to sing, and in fact, close my show with.
