Love Him or Hate Him, There’s a Reason Nick Cave Is the Way He Is

He Has a Blog, and He Uses It to Vent

Not every musician has a blog. In fact, most don’t. Nick Cave, however, does, and he uses The Red Hand Files to open up about all kinds of things about his personal life. It’s become an outlet for him – a place to share his political views and favorite love songs and interact directly with his fans. Most of his fans probably aren’t reading his posts, but those who do get to know him on a much deeper level.

For instance, in one particular post, he offered a better picture of his inner world, both in the love and music departments. For those who don’t know, Cave used to date a musician named PJ Harvey in the mid – ‘90s.
