Yeah, I was using the historic present there. That was my point - he wrote a novel about the death of a twin, and then decades later that happens to him. Creepy coincidence.
Ah yes, I see. As you say, creepy. But horribly appropriate, somehow.
My image of Nick Cave is of a thin, elegant dude in a suit, crawling out over the audience, trusting them to hold him up above the crowd, like some huge fucking spider. A truly amazing stage presence.
Leonard Cohen was sacred heart in a song, Nick Cave is black blood, but somehow sides of the same coin, for me.
