Which is why he's known by local schools as the guy they can count on whenever they need and adult to do the driving for a field trip. > > "I'm down with the field trips," Waits says. "I got the big car [a 1960 four-door Cadillac Coup De Ville]. I'm always looking for a nine-passenger opportunity."Recently, he took a group of kids to a guitar factory. It was a small operation, run by music types. "So I'm waiting for somebody to recognize me. OK. I think, someone's gonna come up and say, 'You're that guy, right?' Now. I've been there for, like, two hours. Nothing. Nothing. Now I'm getting pissed. In fact, I'm starting to pose over by the display case. Still waiting, but nothing all day. I get back in the car. I'm a little despondent. I mean, it's my field. I expect a nod or a wink, but nothing." Waits takes a pause to stir his coffee. "So a week later, we go on another field trip. It's a recycling thing. OK, I'm in. We pull up to the dump and six guys surround my car—'Hey! It's Tom Waits!'" > > He shrugs wearily, like he's telling the timeworn story of his life. > > "Everyone knows me at the dump."
