I was thinking about Edgar Allen Poe yesterday. And I was thinking about Nick Cave yesterday. And I was thinking if Edgar Allen Poe were alive today he'd be fronting a band like the Bad Seeds.
No, let me put this another way. If Edgar Allen Poe were alive today, he'd be an Australian named Nick Cave and he would be fronting a band called the Bad Seeds.
This morning while I was making coffee (Mexican Zaragosa) I heard that Edgar Allen Poe's 200th birthday is coming up. And I heard John Astin (Gomez from the Addams Family) reciting some Edgar Allen Poe on the radio. Kind of a weird coincidence.
As far as I'm concerned, he might as well have been reciting some Nick Cave.
