 You and the D00D have turned this thread into a horrible head-on-collision between a short bus full of regular kids and a van full of paraplegics.

Rest in peace... seemed like he would live forever but crazy that he even made it this long.  One of the greats.

Rip to one of the greats.

A generational talent and fucking perfect storm of drug addled genius. I read somewhere that he was once on a multi-day bender in his flat just drinking, smoking, and writing. Nick Cave stops by and notices a pile of wadded up pieces of paper overflowing out of a bin and littering the floor around it. He picks them up and starts reading the songs that didn't make the cut, each one a discarded masterpiece. Can't believe he made it to 65.

Couple favs here. Absolutely shittered in the performance with the Dubliners on what I assume is primetime TV. Spinning Pogues records today and picking up a bottle of whiskey.
