Fantastic interview. Nick Cave has emerged into such an important figure in popular culture over the past decade. His unapologetic and genuinely curious exploration of his own dangerous/unpopular thoughts (and those of others) is something that we all need now.
Nick's music has seen me through addiction depression broken relationships broken laws incarceration from the birthday party to this current day and have seen him live in Australia numerous times what a journey it has been thank you Nick you are a true scholar and a gentleman.
As a long term fan (since Birthday Party days), I'm disappointed Nick is choosing to play in Israel. I wonder if he knows that many of the ordinary people of Israel recently protested for the right of the IDF to mistreat detainees in any way they see fit (this was after a video was leaked of them torturing and sexually assaulting Palestinian prisoners). "This is Sodom," the protesters chanted. You can hear about it via James O'Brien ruclips.net/video/09bYS01IYEM/видео.html -- most of the media has stopped reporting on all this.
Looking forward to this in the same way Nick killed it in the Stefan Sagmeister interview. And the first question, Nick Cave asks is what am I doing on this podcast? I'm happy to be here, but am I out of place here? LOL.
Thank you for this interview. I have admired his music for many years, and there's nothing quite like it. While there are echoes of Dylan in his style, his work is uniquely his own. I can really feel his distinctive touch in everything he does.
Of course he sees the world as systemically beautiful. He is a white, male, millionaire who can afford to turn a blind eye to all social injustice, including an ongoing genocide. Well done Nick.
@@ajvorob9117 What a midwit response. South Africa faced ongoing embargos and boycotts which forced their hand to change. And yeah, Gaza is beyond apartheid, it's an open air prison. Any other enlightening points, genius?
@spacerauk0001 oh we are now shifting goalposts, are we? Why did gaza become an "open air prison"? Could the takeover of Hamas and the subsequent thousands of rockets being fired at Israel had something to do with it?
Talking over your interview guest as they're answering your first question to ask them another question about a different topic. Libertarian journalism hits real different to when normal people do it. You understand when people say "Great work Nick, you really killed that interview" they're not giving you a complement.
@@ajvorob9117 They are not, no. Israel is an apartheid regime built by western imperialism, which has stolen peoples' land and forced them to live in zoned areas controlled by their military for decades. But even ignoring that they still killed far more civilians unnecessarily. I don't really care if you think both sides are bad, but claiming Israel is the more moral party is simply stupid.
This guy has nothing but wishy washy cop out answers. What a dull man he turned out to be. And it reflects in his creative output. I was once a hardcore fan. It’s not thatI’m saying « He’s changed », it’s that whatever changes there have been, have been pretty low vibe disappointments.
Ahh...labeling People, who don't think 40,000 Children should be gunned down, as "antisemites"? That dirty lazy, tactic is losing it's effectiveness. Try another trick
Maybe they’re not antisemites. Maybe they would be against any country that commits genocide. Maybe accusing people of being antisemitic is deflecting and distracting from the point people have anything to say about it. Maybe they have a pretty obvious point to make, and whining about it means nothing in the face of the point they are trying to make.
@@professorwalter1284 21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) of Israeli citizens are classified as Arab. So if Israel is trying to commit genocide, they’re doing a pretty piss-poor job of it. There has been a very purposeful, and sophisticated, and propagandistic conflation of a blood-thirsty terrorist group with the civilian population that said terrorist group is cowardly hiding behind. And there’s a reason why the likes of David Duke are forming alliances with pro-Palestine campaigners. Doesn’t take a genius to connect those particular dots.
@@greenvelvet 40,000 children gunned down? Lined them up against a wall and shot by firing squad? Oh wait, maybe you’re thinking about the ceasefire that is allowing 640,000 children to be vaccinated against Polio. Yeah they must really want them dead.
Nick has let himself down with his stance on Israel. He looks like a coward and an ignoramus. A well paid one though so there is that sweetener for him.
Are you gonna talk about Qatar funneling billions into US universities, you hypocrite? Israel has more pressing issues to take care of then find random people and pay them to say good things about it. Do you think they have unlimited money or something?
@@adiloren13 other to himself and his world he cares nothing. Arrogance turned in melancholy getting old, typical attitude of narcisistic. By James Ellroy, who spent a dinner with him, Cave is the most boring person on this planet. Basically a Void Cave full of ego.
Nick Cave is starting to show how much of a clown he is, first all showing up on a Libertarian Podcast is not a good look. Secondly, his refusal to condemn Israel of what every major human rights organization and ICC have rightly called a genocide, but also Cave calling out other musicians who do so. Strange to see American rapper Macklemore, having more integrity than Nick Cave.
And btw macklemore wore a costume that depicted a stereotypical Jewish person. He's just being anti israel to get clout and to revive his pathetic excuse of a career.

people, "antisemitism bad" the dumbest person you ever met, "So you hate pAlEsTiNiAns???" it's like they're not trying to hide that Palestine is solely an antisemitic death cult and nothing more
This comment was deleted by either the channel or youtube. I post it again Nick. Israel is an apartheid state. There are checkpoints between palestinian people's homes and their workplace. There is an ongoing colonization of the very little that remains of Palestinian land. There are 2000 pound bombs dropped on refugee tents. Yes, bombs on tents. There are innocent civilians dying in Lebanon. There are acres upon acres of ancient flora, ancestral olive trees among which people who figure in the bible have walked, being destroyed, uprooted and burnt with white phosphorus by the israeli military. A military in which every able bodied person in Israel has to serve. A military that is supported by the people, by the press... Nick, I followed your work, read your books. Your stance on this issue is not convincing. You have a reason for not condemning the genocide loudly. Being a fan, I have felt something beyond the verbal expression in your work. And now I feel something beyond your verbal expression on this matter. And I can say with honesty that what I'm feeling is a lack of sincerity. You have the stance of a zionist. Your stance aligns with a political and military project centered on creating some of the worst massacres and mass killings our civilization has ever seen, and that is justifying it with the undisputable suffering of jewish people in europe and elsewhere. Your stance aligns with a cause that is far from being just. Israel is burning one of the cradles of modern human civilization in the name of a bloodthirsty ideology that will be filling the darkest pages of future history books. And most importantly, it hasn't gone unnoticed that you haven't mentioned palestinian suffering nearly enough. That you haven't answered questions about palestinian suffering nearly enough. Not in the press, not on the red hand files. Lastly I would like to add that you have access to the images, to the stories from palestine. you can go read them. You are an incredible musician but you, like all of us are not immune to error. Change your stance, renounce the money that comes with your current one, you have enough of it and will leave without it when you go. But you won't leave without the red hand that seems to have become your mascot. I won't be going back to this comment to check for hate messages or anything else. I just thought I'd state something I had in mind since I was a fan. I now boycott you, even thought I know it would never be economically effective. I now am typing this even though I know it will never reach you physically. I'm typing just because.
I don't get the fascination for this arrogant fellow ... don't share his infatuation with religion ... and most of all am concerned that someone held in such high esteem by so many, is a genocide apologist ...

OMG the timing! I was literally just weeping to the Weeping Song! Thank you both Nicks! Nick Gave expressed emotions that I could not. 💛💖💖
Me, the audience: "Wait, this is Reason+Nick Cave. This is the coolest stuff."
Fantastic interview!
Saw him live in Ljubljana during HENRY'S DREAM tour, it was astonishing. And wild. The band was on fire. The crowd knew all the lyrics
Awesome! Been asking for more Nick Cave podcasts!
Wow, as much of his music and influence I've listened to, I wasn't expecting this. What a freaking gem. Definitely need to re-examine
Fascinating
Nick, thank a lot from Israel.

@@ajvorob9117When it’s that asymmetrical, and non-combatants are being massacred…
Spent about 10 minutes trying to maneuver Cave into the "correct" political stance......Almost goading him into a loyalty oath.
Can I ask you something before? Does the first question usually come from the interviewee?
Joy makes people younger
I dare anyone at Reason to host an interview without bringing up authority and liberty.

Well done Nick G!

Banned from seeing his dying mother because of the sniffles. Please people, never again, never let them get away with it again.
His last three answers to the questions on is reel , covid insanity and current cens orship in britain were disappointing.

There is no genocide. That term has been ruthlessly abused by the anti israel crowd. @@professorwalter1284

If you need me to explain it to you then I can understand why you are conflicted.
Just look up coward and work it out!! It's more rewarding for you that way than if I explain it.
