On Saturday night, I began to watch the coronation broadcast on the ABC. Hoping against hope that the ABC wouldn’t, well, be the ABC. Of course they were. They can’t help themselves. We turned off after five minutes and switched, first to Channel 7, then, when the ads

Nick Cave Sails Serene above the Storms of Cancel Culture

I can’t help but admire Nick Cave. While I personally (and I’ll admit that it’s purely a personal prejudice) think his musical output peaked in 1984 (From Her to Eternity), with some slightly lesser highlights along the way, and his output as a writer is generally wildly
