Nick Cave : Classic or Dud ?

"I did in fact make this up and trusted the audience to infer the meaning from context, like you used to back before everyone stopped thinking"

I know I have encountered it before and a twitter search did confirm this!

outsider asking - what exactly is controversy attending the coronation? is it charles himself or just the royal family's continued existence?

it's just corny & embarrassing

there's no controversy. if you've any interest in monarchy beyond the guillotine then you are at best a huge fucking rube

so everyone now dropping off the NC train because of his attendance to this event surely has done the same with any musician/act that's been knighted?

i'm not quite sure why it's a big focal point honestly. it's embarrassing but he's said a lot more objectionable things than this nonsense

it's not the damningest thing, he burned his good will ages back

I can’t speak for anyone because I wasn’t on any train, this seems v in character, but tbh I expect most wealthy artists to have this kind of shitty worldview; cave is just annoying to me cause he’s such a fucking windbag about it & im more likely to encounter his banal blogs approvingly quoted as being so thoughtful & honest

just like all the other celebrity royal brownnosers his ultimate aim will be to creep his way onto the honours list. Then try and play it like it is a completely unexpected honour. Gosh, I wasn't expecting this at all. He's just playing the game.

good news! there are a lot of current, young artists that just attended the karl lagerfeld-inspired met gala.

some people had his number 40 years ago

^I mean, this was intended as a semi-friendly roast at the time, but

On the other hand, Albanese seems overwhelmingly to have selected 'strayans who won't need a flight from the antipodes. Cave is totally a budget/C0₂-conscious choice!

wins otm

Nick Cave otg

He's reverted to being the bourgeois Australian public schoolboy he secretly always was.

so everyone now dropping off the NC train because of his attendance to this event surely has done the same with any musician/act that's been knighted?

Yes, fuck all of them too. And anyone who's accepted an OBE/MBE/CBE.

I can remember that Australian bloke from - I think The Triffids - saying in an interview that The Birthday Party were all from frightfully posh public school backgrounds. And they all had quite posh red-haired girlfriends as well!

100%. fuck them ALL.

here's a great example for any musician of how to deal with being offered any of these honours -

so many cancelled people, maybe Nick should write one of his deep and perceptive blogs about it - if he hasn't already. I can't read anything by him because he's so overwrought and egotistic and chats a lot of shit.

Apparently LS Lowry holds the record for turning down honours - CBE, OBE, knighthood and 2x Companion of Honour. Did they not take the hint?

Hence, Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs by Brian and Michael >> Tender Prey.

a real artist

nick cave? more like kick the knave

nuance is good though

Your Coronation... My Knighthood

And The Ass Kissed The Boot

lol

I think you all missed out on the subtext of his story that the Queen is actually his own mother...and he'll be crowned King Ink instead of Charles.

The Mild Colonial Boy

xps I didn’t know it was a term that had been used but apparently other ppl have also been irritated enough at the thought terminating clichés of soi disant moderates to make the same coinage, who knew

Meantime if you were wondering what indeed Mick Harvey is up to

he may be a doofus, but this is really beautiful stuff here.

Unforgivable

Lol yeah that is a weird one

oh man not gingers

Imagine being so deeply regrettable a country that you think nowhere else in the world knows the difference between public school and private school either.

Nick's current posture -- that to hold any position securely is to signal that you have been ideologically captured -- is surely the most vapid justification yet of his lifelong goal: to ensure that Nick Cave gets to do whatever the hell Nick Cave wants to do, all the time.

he's also just a deeply horrible egomaniac with an awful singing voice imo. And who in the UK actually thinks people in other countries don't know the difference between private/public? you daft twat!

so what's your take on Nick Cave?

I find him repellent in every sense ... oh

And who in the UK actually thinks people in other countries don't know the difference between private/public? you daft twat!

Nick Cave went to public schools in towns 200 and 300km outside Melbourne, until he was expelled from a public school and began attending a public school instead.

I like how two guys on this thread are determined to turn Cave into the new Amanda Palmer

Or Morrissey

Honestly I'm surprised Palmer hasn't tried to get her hooks into him now that she's divorced.

Elvis bunuelo articulating what I was drunkenly going for last night

I’m not really sure who the two guys are among the last hundred posts of everyone except a few defensive stans agreeing cave is a silly reactionary twat tho, unless one of the guys is nick cave

he was expelled from a public school and began attending a public school instead.

ok now I'm confused

stan is a strong word.
