Tom Waits Announces Tour With Fake Press Conference

Tom Waits puts his acting chops to good use in a fake press-conference video uploaded to YouTube to announce his latest tour.

In the video, he realizes that he had an affair with a reporter’s mother, points out the constellation the tour’s geographical route would trace in the night sky, and deciphers an acronym made up of the first letter of each town on the tour’s US leg.

Aside from representing the tour dates below, Waits points out that PEHDTSCKJMBA stands for "People envy happiness. Dogs, though, sense courage, knowing jubilation means better ass(ets)."
