— Tom Waits (ANTI-) (@tomwaits) January 3, 2013
Back in August, TVLine announced Tom Waits would play himself as someone who helps introduce Homer to a community of survivalists but Waits wouldn’t sing in the episode, titled Homer Goes to Prep School.
From Fox.com:
The Simpsons “Homer Goes to Prep School” - 8/7c (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT)
ALL NEW HOMER PREPARES FOR DOOMSDAY ON AN ALL-NEW “THE SIMPSONS” SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, ON FOX
Tom Waits Makes Guest-Voice Appearance
Homer joins the “Springfield Preppers,” an off-the-grid survivalist group whose leader (guest voice Waits) has set up a top-secret retreat outside of town to prepare for the end of the world. But Marge grows skeptical of the group’s alarmist shenanigans.

Waits will not play himself. He will play a prepper named Lloyd.
Good episode. Waits was in his usual acerbic zone.
Quite disappointing.
maybe if he'd worn a hat he woulda looked like Tom...
Waits and Richards....

I thought he did a good job voicing the character, as well as any other "professional" voice actor. The Simpsons is just not a funny show anymore, though.
It was an okay episode with a couple of funny gags. Tom's part in it was a bit tentative in general and I do think that on this occasion the voice didn't match the face.
