Kid Rock or Boy George might be able to open for Ed, lol
Someone call Kanye West
Kanye is too busy trying to exploit North into a music career
how does that work? He's psycho, so his musical output is restrained by his insanity.
He always made the same slop, so I don't think he has a creative block, more of an organisational block, so why would trying to exploit his kid make him any more productive?
EDIT : To be clear, I am not saying "his musical output is caused by/limited by/due to" his insanity. I mean his mental illness makes his productivity less efficient to the point where there is less output.
So if he's being affected by mental health, it doesn't matter if it's his music or his kid's music, neither is getting completed because he's not going to get anything done, because mental health problems will impede his productivity.
Bipolar disorder. Not making excuses, but
No. That's not how manic episodes work.
Lots of bipolar people manages to live their lives without ever becoming nazis and supporting Trump though.
You are really doing a disservice to bipolar people by using his illness as an explanation of him being a massive asshole.
Literally has nothing to do with what I said.
updated :
insanity does not do that to music. trust me if you meet a musician that's right in the head they make boring music.
I hate this view, it’s not true, at all. The majority of great musicians are normal people. This is a concept people made up to justify liking shitty people. I’ve personally interacted with a ton of my favorite bands and outside of a few assholes they are all cool normal people. Music is a rational thing, there are formulas for what does and does not work, you don’t need to be insane to do cool and innovative shit with music. If you look at most of the people that were insane they burned out, died, or ended up in obscurity. Insanity is a universally detrimental thing to experience, it doesn’t impart any kind of gifts. They’re also usually credit stealing narcissists, like Jim Morrisson, they don’t actually provide anything to the music other than a face and personality.
I'm sorry they weren't able to be themselves around you
I’m sorry you think that you have to be broken in order to be creative, that’s sad as fuck.
yeah, y'all have been describing us as broken and putting us in freak shows for ages. now you pay us to make you look like you have class when you get entertainment. it's really quite amusing from the musician's end.
I am a musician. You don’t get to speak for all of us. It doesn’t make you a special or different kind of person. It’s a very accessible skill to learn and perform. We’re not all petty little broken crybabies, in fact the vast majority are not. Your view says a lot more about you than it says about music and musicians. You’re projecting, not observing.
your comments here notwithstanding?
Feel free to outline where I did that.
as soon as you list your studio albums. i ain't got time for nobodies
That’s a fun way to let me know I’ve won our little debate. Cheers!
you... you don't have any do you internet person pretending to be a musician?
First off, that has nothing to do with what I was talking about and plays no validity to the point I was making. You still lost, regardless of where you want to place the goalposts.
Second, your assertive overconfidence is nothing short of delightful. I’m not stupid enough to dox myself for an internet argument. If you’re into doom metal there is a chance you’ve heard my riffs, though, or maybe even seen me on stage if you’re in the western united states.
What are your credentials? Feel free to be vague.
Also, what fucking freak shows are you talking about? Music has been easily the most celebrated and universally enjoyed form of art throughout the entirety of human history. Few people can ever even dream of being loved, cherished, and celebrated as much as musicians. There has never been a point that music wasn’t the defining art form of an era. Did ypu not notice the reaction of the entire world when Dolly passed?
You’ve got a victim complex, man, figure that shit out.

Kanye is busy with his own BPD-delusional tours.
and TED NUGENT the draft dodger.
Nick Cave is staunchly pro-Israel, in the way edgy right-wing dudes are. Whether sufficiently staunchly to drop everything, fly to the US and open for Sheeran on his tour remains to be seen.
WTF!
There's a 35% chance I'm going to punch him in the face for this.
I'm a massive Nick Cave fan and had to look this up. I found this, which is a pair of letters from him.
I dunno. I can see his point but I'm also disappointed? It's definitely not "staunchly pro-Israel". He's just made a decision to play there and is using that to justify it. I don't know if showing up and telling people in person is better than boycotting and showing them what they're missing. If I were in his position I'd boycott.
The thing is that the BDS movement specifically asked for a cultural and academic boycott of Israel as well. The same thing happened with Apartheid-era South Africa.
I could understand his point in isolation, but there’s a larger social context here. Israelis (and Palestinians) don’t, I think, need awareness raised, they already know what’s going on there.
I kind of get it though, in my experience prejudices die by exposure, they flourish in the dark. I don't see how an artistic performance boycott does anything but further close them off to other points of view.
Yeah. It's not black and white. Make a principled stand, or err on the side of getting your point across. I can see both arguments and he's betting on humanity.
