My Dad and I were watching some TV show and Dr. John came on and played a few songs, later my Dad asked me if he was really a Doctor, and, well I still feel bad about it, and I said yes, that he was a neurologist and was famous for his music and medical services
I remember when I was about 6 or 7 years old this guy named Tom would come over to our house here and there and even stay for dinner once or twice a month. He would always talk to me and joke around. After a couple years, I really didn't see him anymore. Then, a couple decades later, I'm watching the Denzel Washington movie The Book of Eli. Low and behold, there's Tom.....Waits! I never knew he was famous. 🙆♂️🤷♂️
@jacobwatson7650 He actually still lives about a 10 or 15 minute drive from my house. I talked to him about a year and half ago. My dad was his house painter, and I think, pot dealer.
people are just people, get a life, folks. I crossed paths with him too, coupla times. Once after a show when his bass player hit on me and my friend and asked us point blank if "f---ed". Right. NO. And now I'm 71, Lord have mercy. 50 years...
I love how Tom leans into "The beauty of quitting..." part, you can really see his brain thinking of a way to get one of those cigarettes in his mouth. Iggy's curious face after this line is hilarious. Like some code has been unlocked to justify it all.

I've had the pleasure of sitting down to drink with Tom a few times. So full of wise advice. Gave up wanting to be rock star after one of our talks in California
I love how Iggy- who many consider to be one of the coolest cats ever- is really just so insecure and eager to ingratiate himself with Tom, who is actually way cooler than him. But then in the end it’s Tom who’s shown to be just as insecure by checking to see if he’s really not on the jukebox! 🤣
@@patriciofernandez2711 exactly, although I also get the feeling that he’s just fucking with Iggy too, to throw him off his game and gain the upper hand. Or even just for the fun of it 🤣
This is the perfect thing to watch where you’ve quit smoking but you’re having one, you know, because when you quit you can have one if you want. IHOP’s a classy brew ... I remember seeing this in the theater and everyone lit up in unison as soon as they exited the theater. Thanks Jarmusch
Lovely little moments, like Iggy ranting on about how he answers to both Jim and Iggy, after a while they decide on Iggy, and Tom says:"I'm sorry I'm late, Jim."
I think this is the best short film I have seen. Simple perfection, and not a word or movement wasted. Tension from start to finish set against that sweet music.
Ohhh hunny, this is just one scene from Jim Jarmusch's 2008 film Coffee and Cigarettes. Every scene is this good. Okay... Not every scene contains Tom Waits and Iggy Pop, but otherwise, they are!
Can you imagine the insane lives they lived up to this point? All reduced to a diner in the midst of a sacramental nowhere waiting for the wisps to wither. Beautiful
Funnily enough, Radio Birdman's Deniz Tek who once played guitar on stage with Iggy at a Scott Asheton tribute is both a dedicated musician and an emergency doctor. Used to be a flight surgeon in the US Marines.
What I would give to be able to sit inside a coffee shop and smoke a cigarette whilst drinking coffee….. (without being hassled). I remember those days. Cherished moments. Cool seeing Iggy and Tom 😊 legends.
A real favorite scene. If you haven't seen his first Coffee and Cigarettes its worth watching too. Very early work. Same chessboard table, same paraphenalia, but strangers. It ends with one of them going to the others dentist appointment in true Beckett-esque absurdity. Like many masters Jarmush has a few central ideas he keeps on polishing away at that won't leave him alone, and it's great to be invited to watch. ❤ Tom and Iggy man, time flies....
Tom Waits & Jim (aka Iggy) what a combination - from my perspective, a real treat. Who says Americans don’t do irony; this is both funny & tense Wish I was at that table! Man!! Jane Russell
Americans are good at irony...we're just not obsessed with it. Americans are more straightforward and honest. Which is something that can't be said for many cultures around the world. They might be great at irony, but passport un the honesty dept.!
The best of the best. Only second to a story I heard, Hendricks, bb king, and Janice Joplin did a set that was never recorded. To be a fly on either of these walls, you know?
LOL nothing worst then roadside surgery! The beauty of quitting is now that I’ve quit I can have one! Love this whole clip! Love the crazy facial expressions.
I made myself sick with cigarettes and coffee when this came out. It really was one of the finest low-key leisure activities of the 90s-2000s, sitting in a cafe reading/writing/thinking, but too much of a good thing is too much! I still love coffee 🖤

This is a masterclass in storytelling that all filmmakers should watch! Using only eight shots, it conveys more personality than countless features.

Tom is a excellent surgeon. He gave me an appendectomy in '98, can barely see the scar.
My Dad and I were watching some TV show and Dr. John came on and played a few songs, later my Dad asked me if he was really a Doctor, and, well I still feel bad about it, and I said yes, that he was a neurologist and was famous for his music and medical services
He delivered my younger brother when my mom was pregnant, and he did it using only a plunger and a can of Crisco. 😂

God I loved this movie and I used to love hanging with my art friends in my 20s drinking coffee and smoking cigs. Early 1980s.
Right?? A buddy summed up those art school years: “we had more time than brains.” Kinda obtuse… but kinda nailed it.
Sounds like a roomful of losers.

My personal favorite bit of that being “You can call me Jim or Iggy, or…you call me Iggy.”
“Well, I’m sorry I’m late Jim.”
But the punchline is “He’s not on there either.”
- "The beauty of quitting is that I can hav one... cause I quit"
- (4:06 - Iggy's face)
Such a great metaphor for the friendly competitiveness between musicians. So well done.
Tom Waits is the gateway drug to everything.

You have to read "Please Kill Me" Punk History. Iggy is indestructible.
Such a beautiful gem to be found. Thank you universe. Love to all from this generation and beyond 💕 ❤️ 💗 💖 💓 💜 💕 ❤️ 💗 💖

I had a dream EXACTLY like this! But iggy wasn’t there, and Tom wasn’t there, and I wasn’t there.
Me to😅😂!!
I was.
Surrealism in words. . .
It isn’t surreal… this dream was real
Good one.
Two musical monuments out of my youth. I just stick to the coffee at my 54. Respect. Love the back music
One of the best movies/works of art of all time!!
Music and medicine - Tom excels at both 😎
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Music IS medicine
He's a regular Dr van nostrand
“It’s been a medical morning.”

Just like the old country singer hank wangford was a real life gynecologist... True
Coffee and Cigarettes used to be the best way to start the day ☕️
It still is , I haven’t had a great morning in 11 years lol that’s when I quit smoking 😅😅
Takes "My Dinner with Andre" to a whole different level! - Great!
Love the Hawaiian music in the background. All in all just an amazing video
I don't even smoke cigarettes, and this makes me wish I could quit, so I could have one...
Just go ahead and quit now and thank yourself later. It'll save time.
Ever since I had one and then I quit life has been bliss. Now next time I need one I can have one.
😅😅😅
“Quitting smoking is easy… I’ve done it loads of times!” 😅
Don't do it kid.
Well, I guess you'd have found out by now
Eternally Cool :) I'm so glad this exist! I could watch an entire TV series just these two having coffee and cigarettes :D

Listening to Tom Waits talk is poetry
Loved Tom in Bram Stokers Dracula..great vintage film
I was just thinking that. He gave such an hysterically open performance.
Love!
I had a beautiful eye gaze with Tom in a taco shop on main st in Santa Monica. ❤
Camera shot above the table when they toasted Coffee cups (11:00) was WAY ahead of its time
..could almost taste those cowboy killer's. ;' ) Enjoyed this. Thx.
I love this! I’ve never seen this before. What a great scene with two great guys.

Jim Jarmusch is a great director, in my humble opinion.

The look Tom gives Iggy at 8:06 just cracks me up every time
‘You call me Iggy’ ‘Look I’m sorry I’m late Jim’ only Tom.
I watch this whenever I come across it. Brilliant piece by three auteurs.
Jarmusch is the best. Stranger than Paradise, Down By Law, all of them.
Having met my brother at an LA Norm’s for lunch recently, I can confirm this vibe.
two legends sit down and get petty.
fuckin genius, every vignette was great.
This is genius on so many levels, legends.
Fantastic Production...
Omg...I quit smoking 10 yrs ago ( after 40+ ). I would do this, too, if there were still a coffee place that allows smoking!
Tom is the greatest storyteller that has ever existed.
Priceless backing music. Really sets a vibe.

LOL nothing worst then roadside surgery! The beauty of quitting is now that I’ve quit I can have one! Love this whole clip! Love the crazy facial expressions.
I love how Iggy is the nervous one & Tom is the slightly aggressive very comfortable in he's own skin one.
