"My dad's sense of humor was direct and sometimes surreal - his quick wit is well known amongst our family and friends. He raised me on Spike Jones records and W.C. Fields movies, and his sense of humor fell somewhere in between"
- Tony Visconti

Fields motion pictures, which likely had an influence on his own sense of humor. Tony's father's humor was a combination of the two, a mix of the directness of Spike Jones and the surrealism of W.C. Fields. His father's humor was an unique combination of the two, and it was something that Tony had the ability to appreciate and continue in his own life. It was a special bond between dad and child, and it was something that Tony will constantly keep in mind and value.
