Book Reviews of Bad Seed: The Biography of Nick Cave

Book Review: Too long on dissipation...
Summary: 2 Stars

I didn't realize that this was written in 1995, before I knew of his existence. In fact, it took Johnny Cash's Mercy Seat to find out who could have written such a thing... Well, he is one of about five contemporary musicians out there I consider a genious (others: Petty, Hiatt, Cohen, the late Zevon). Anyway, too many anecdotes about getting ripped and fighting and not enough about his creative process. Not nearly as good as "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: the Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon"). I look forward to a sequel: 1995 to present. He is a strange shaman I'd like to know more about.

Chas.
