stop making sense

"I don’t really believe in music having a message, and I don’t really believe that music is there to change somebody’s life. But I do believe in the supportive qualities of music. I know that when I was 13 there were records that were important for me, to defend me against my parents and the rest of the world and the school and everything else. I think that is as good as music can get, it should have that supporting character. If it is nihilistic at that point, or if it is just telling you that you are great and the rest of the world has a problem, that is perfectly fine."

“Writing a song about your children is the last taboo in rock‘n’roll … I wrote a song called ‘Sheep May Safely Graze’, which was a song to my son that I wrote for The Boatman’s Call. And I played it and Blixa took me outside and put his arm around me and said, “Look, that’s a very sweet song, I suggest you give that a present to your son when he’s a few years older and spare the world”! That was quite a brave thing for Blixa to do. He’s a brave man. And I’m very happy he did that.”

nick nonchalantly describes his feelings for blixa (german tv, 1997)

These are both so adorable I may have to forgo my plan of naming my next cat after Slavoj Zizek and name him after Nick Cave, so Blixa the cat can pal around with him.
