Nick Cave on Being Nominated For MTV's Best Male Artist

He starts writing the letter, and his muse steps in to help him with the penultimate stanza. He needed help at that point! 😂
Like Julian Assange famously said. Save water, don't shower. Excerpt from 20,000 Days ...

Angeles National Forest Loop Fire (1966)

Image
The  Loop Fire was a firefighting accident in the Angeles National Forest (see  10,000 Acres of San Gabriel Mountain Forest Gone Up In Smoke ) that claimed the lives of a dozen firefighters in November 1966.  The day after the disaster a comprehensive study was ordered and you get the results here . It's a quite impressive piece of work and it is still being used half a century later to train firefighters. But an investigation like this should have been ordered after every major forest fire, regardless of whether or not it involved fatalities . See  The Real Meaning of Life  and  Giant Sunspot Threatens Electric Grids With CME . What is the heat capacity of an Angel? Can anybody remember what it was like to go out with friends? I can't. I have never done anything like this in my life. But I can imagine it would be really good.

Mensaje Para La Presidenta Jeanine Añez

Image
See my comments on YouTube and also  Lori on What Is Hate Speech . My problems with Jeanine Añez stem from 14th November 2019, see  Polly on Bolivia  and  MAS Demonstrations In Support of Evo Morales : The next day, the local paper reported 8 people were killed and over a hundred injured in protests in Sacaba, a few km from where I was sitting when I posted that video the day before. Jeanine Añez was President at the time, and still is, but she either cannot or will not speak with me, just like Evo Morales and Alvaro Garcia Linera.  I have been trying for over eleven years to help the people of people of Bolivia, and I have never had so much as acknowledgement of my existence from any of them, unless you count the Direcion General de Migración deleting my file as an acknowledgement of my existence. Then, see  Renuncío El Evo , and lo,  I seem to be getting a little attention again: Not quite as much as when Crossfire Hurricane started, see  The P...

Nick Cave Alone - The Mercy Seat

Image
Nick Cave's cover of his own song is even better than Johnny Cash's cover. Starts here : Johnny Cash: The 2010 remastered studio recording: I prefer the original to any of the covers, which is fitting, in a way, because he was and is an electrician by trade, or at least that's what I'm told, ... And he's a snappy dresser too: So is Lana Del Rey: People were doing some really fucking awful things, and the reporters at The Guardian know quite a lot about it:  Nick Cave Alone Utterly Magnetic . See  Summer Bummer  and  Toby on Love and Physics . And how did I get the idea in 2018 that my daughter had a gap year in the USA? Was that just a figment of my drug-addled mind? See  Lana Del Rey On Writing and Knowing When It's Done  and then  Lana Del Rey . As my friend Max Burt said to me once: this lettuce is tired! Max had the damnedest accident, you know. He was driving down Oxford St. in London WC1, I think, and you know how Oxford St. is one-way and has a...
