“Hal was the wry and soulful and mysterious historical rememberer,' Tom Waits says in his tribute to Hal Willner
“He frequently kvetched. He could conjure up the past like a crystal ball or Ouija board,” Waits also added. “He reminded us of a bumblebee crawling out of a calla lily… He was a furtive and clandestine and crafty treasure seeker and archeologist of forgotten islands in popular culture.”
Among Waits’ recollections of Willner’s memorable traits was that he “spoke regularly in asides” and he had “an impish rumpelstilskin delight dance of laughter that offered refuge to those suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune on the slights of a critic’s pen” and that “Hal applauded riptides and deviants of musical, literary and human behavior. And, of course, he loved the exceptions to every rule.
“If you took a cross section of Hal’s heart… you would see the rings of a wise old tree,” Waits said. “Above all, let’s remember that Hal loved music… and from all appearances it seems very much to have loved him right back big time.” Waits joins a long list of admirers and friends who have paid homage to Willner in the wake of his death.
