Nick Cave Backs Wim Wenders: Art Should Steer Clear of Political Dramas

Nick Cave articulates his support for Wim Wenders' perspective on art and politics shared at the Berlin Film Festival, asserting that great art exists for its own sake. Wenders argues filmmakers should avoid political entanglements.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds announce their forthcoming live album "Wild God" by teasing a performance video from Paris, featuring the title track.

Once dismissing it as a grotesque parody of humanity, Cave now lends his image to a video starring an AI-generated Elvis Presley.

Nick Cave nopes out of Morrissey’s anti-woke rant with bouzouki shade
