5) According to Nick Cave, what was the best thing at the birthday party?

62

Rain, thunder, a telephone, and Linda McCartney. :slight_smile:

63

Probably not the answer you want - But you may look up to the protagonist in the David Buskin/Modern Man song entitled ESPN. His wife divorced him for being glued to 24 hr a day sports programming. The straw that broke the camel’s back was finding him drinking a martini @ 3AM watching “guys on horses jumping over those little brick deals”

That wunderbar, beautiful, fabulous, immaculate, darling, dog chair. Me, I liked the sword and bike better

68

Mother Goose. I can’t place any of the other 7, but is Hempstead Fair a section of (or located in) London?

69

Just a hunch, but @ the end of Haunted(?) there’s a remixed version of ‘Hey, Pretty’ with a very sexy opening dialogue intro - I have no idea if that’s the track you’re referring to or if it’s in her brother’s book

70

71

73

I believe that would be Michael J. Fox

Michael J. Fox has no Elvis in him (but maybe he has a touch of Joe Cocker). Elvis is also in Joan Rivers, baby - but he’s trying to get out
