Nick Cave Draws Contrasts & Comparisons To Thom Yorke

He tells The Scotsman: *I don’t think I’m the bearer of any wisdom. It’s my point of view, which I’ll willingly concede is peripheral. I wouldn’t encourage everyone to have that worldview. I’m not pretending to speak for a larger section of society. That’s Thom Yorke’s job: he’s speaking for ‘us’. I’m not. I never had that talent. There are people, great artists, who are equipped to do that, who have the capacity to be the voice of the people. Not me. I’m like the friend it’s fun to go out with but don’t tell your problems to. You tell them to Thom Yorke.”

I'd tell Nick Cave about my problems any day--but i like his humility.
nothing against thom yorke, by the way. there would probably be some weird telepathic wordless communication going on anyway.
