Tributes to David Letterman, Part 28 of 31: Tom Waits 1983, 2015

To commemorate the 5th anniversary of Dave retiring from late night television (his last show was on May 20, 2015), I've put together a series of "first and last" appearances, the latter paying tributes in their own ways to the last giant of late night (h/t Jason Zinoman).
Part 28. Tom Waits
1. December 21, 1983
2. May 14, 2015
The 2015 guest appearance comes from Andrew Lynch's superb TH-cam upload, linked here: • Video
Note: The "first appearance" card gives Tom's debut appearance as "February 21, 1995." It was actually ten months later on December 21.

Always appreciated that Dave had Tom on his show so many times. Won't see that again.

I wonder where Warren Zevon would have placed on the list of appearance in those final days, had he not passed away 12 yrs earlier...I'd guess in the top 3.
