Nick Cave Still Wants To Be Bronzed On A Pony
“We were going to make [the statue] in England,” Cave said, “ship it to Australia, put it on the back of a truck, and dump it in my home town, which is an extremely small, ultra-conservative place.
It’s now been turned into a rehousing town for ex-cons who want to go straight, only nobody has gone straight, and it’s turned into this strange, lawless place. If they don’t accept it, we were just going to drive out to the desert and dump it somewhere, Planet of the Apes-style.”
If they do get his naked torso on a metal horse (dude, why not be really bad-ass and construct a centaur?), I’m hoping they’ll model it after Birthday Party Cave, rather than the balding, mustachioed cowboy look of today.
