Bunny Munro is good, if Dylan is a Nobel, his lyrics are /lit/ enough, also, just look at that forehead, it screams "I've being doing a lot of thinking lately", the mark of a true intellectual

he dyes his hair

>>10268202

No, he is far above us

>>10268202
he certainly seems to have lit some of his hair

Is all of Nick Cave's music as boring and theatrical as Tom Waits'? I would like some music, not theatre with his voice.

>>10268440
no

The Death of Bunny Munro was good, but I got the distinct impression that he had a thesaurus at hand while he was writing it. Like, suddenly a single word out of an entire page would jump in difficulty. It wasn't obnoxious, because the writing was good, and I enjoyed reading it, but it was very noticeable.

>>10268462
Cool. I will have to explore Nick Cave more.

>>10268231
good analysis

>>10268219
It is great. I didn't get the Faulkner vibes it apparently has but I've only read one of his books.

>>10268440
What is like being this disgustingly plebeian? Also Tom should write shorts.

>>10268488
I've read it twice now and I can't think of this occuring. If anything, my only criticism is that by this point Nick Cave likes to describe things obscurely now, he does it in the two documentaries that have succeeded it, he says "it was like [simile] or something".

>>10268202
Dude is super well read. The first book his father read to him was Lolita and only for the prose style.

>I've read it twice now and I can't think of this occuring.
Eh. All I can say is that it was something that I noticed, a lot. So much so that I actually "commented" on it while I was reading. Like I said, I didn't experience it as a problem, just that it jumped out at me. I think it was the first book I'd read in a long time, so maybe that's why.

Is this the most well written song of all time?

> "I have no free will", I sang
As I flew about the murder
Mrs. Richard Holmes, she screamed
You really should have heard her
I sang and I laughed, I howled and I wept
I panted like a pup
I blew a hole in Mrs. Richard Holmes
And her husband stupidly stood up
As he screamed, "You are an evil man"
And I paused a while to wonder
"If I have no free will then how can I
Be morally culpable, I wonder"
I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach
And gingerly he sat down
And he whispered weirdly, "No offense"
And then lay upon the ground
"None taken", I replied to him
To which he gave a little cough
With blazing wings I neatly aimed
And blew his head completely off

It's like if /lit/ finally snapped and went on a murderous rampage.

I wonder why Tom Waits hasn't written anything.

>>10269043
He's getting all of his artistic rocks tickled with his music. He doesn't need to write.

>>10268202
Is that the child of John Travolta and Benedict Cumberbatch?

>>10268814
>and with an ashtray big as a big fucking brick I split his skull in haaalf

Best verse of all time

>>10269043
Sins of My Father would be one of the best examples of poetry this century if only he didn't sing. Thank God he does.
