Nick Cave
When I am looking for a good podcast, one of the places I head to is On Being by Krista Tippett. Her recent conversation with Nick Cave was particularly interesting and moving to me, covering a multitude of issues including love, death, grief, and religion--a full gamut of topics that plague the human condition.
Nick Cave is an Australian musician, writer and filmmaker whose intense life has been full of ups and downs including devastating loss. His emotional opennesss and vulnerability has had a healing effect on many. His new book entitled Faith Hope and Carnage documents that emotional journey. In addition, he writes a blog entitled The Red Hand Files where readers ask him questions and he attempts to answer them. Amanda Petrusich conducted a recent interview with him in the New Yorker and there is a full length documentary entitled This Much I Know To Be True about Cave's life on youtube should you want to learn more. His creative rich life is definitely worth examination.Here are a few of his songs:
