| | audiography: Theme: Nick Cave, an overview |
 | | Australian-bred Nick Cave could be described as equal parts Leonard Cohen, Howling Wolf, Johnny Cash, Johnny Rotten, and yes, even a dash of Neil Diamond. |
 | | Early interviews had him claiming to have been born with a tail and -- like one of his heroes, Elvis - with a dead twin, a topic he toyed with in his 1988 Faulkneresque novel, "And the Ass Saw the Angel" and his 1984 album The Firstborn is Dead. |
 | | A tall, gaunt, even skeletal, figure with wild hair in his youth (now gracefully slicked back) and a permanent cigarette dangling from his lips, Cave's appearance and his name couldn't be more apt for his role as the father of Gothic punk blues. |
