Nick Cave reads his fanmail.

[filthghoul]

Its not clear to me who this letter is from, Ally or Ali Baba. Though poignant in either case.

[kanumbra]

thats rather lovely i think, i dont think its something to be made fun of. naturally you might feel a bit strange on recieving such a letter, but i think it would be something rather touching. odd, but touching. this person is putting trust in someone they are fond of, i think its sweet. i agree with the comment below me, the writer just wanted someone to talk to.

[UltraHyperGirl]

Aww, poor Nick had a cold.

[CrazyJoAgain]

A chocolate wrapper? Jesus Christ, the poor woman.

[shwilly]

@CrazyJoAgain

And a Hersheys wrapper at that

[neonatalpenguin]

Poor Ally

cá eu tinha escrito outras coisas ...

[AtticusStount]

I remember writing an impassioned letter to Nick and the Seeds. It wasn't as sad. I hope.

[PotatoManTada]

Is the wickedly lovely Cave illiterate, or is the teacher a shitty writer? The latter is likely, the former is impossible.

[EdieNippoli]

@PotatoManTada

Having seen Nick read out loud in person, I'm going to go with the latter. Keep in mind that it's written on the back of a chocolate wrapper.

[PrincessGarnet85]

I love his voice!

[asjabluedog]

I have this video and I always found it strange when she said she was a teacher! she seems more like an immature 14 yr old. Nick seems really thrilled! not.

[Fuckof1f1f]

I think the sender is male. his name is Ali

[asjabluedog]

you may be right but like I say I have this video and I was always under the impression the writer was female, I know the name Ali is mentioned but I took it more like Alli as in short for Allison. Regardless male or female they sound like they lead a pretty sad existence! =)

[MasterBlade4]

Ali Baba lol.

[letztesBiestamHimmel]

"Ali Baba" lol ;-)

[impjared]

Out of interest, what did Nick say just as the video cut off? He wasn't making fun of the writer, was he?

[EdieNippoli]

"Ali Baba", Didn't get the timing quite right so it got cut a bit. Yes, I am guessing it was in reference to the writer of the letter.

[impjared]

Ah, okay. Thanks for telling me that

[Lysle123]

@EdieNippoli pretty sure it's the name of the candy.

"Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus" anyone?

[TeenageWildlife]

i wonder what the writer thinks of this now.

[asjabluedog]

You would hope they'd feel embarrassed but I bet they are still just as sad and pathetic even now!

[Ynno2]

Why would you hope they feel embarrassed? The letter made me a bit sad because the person didn't sound very happy, but I don't know why we are in a rush to judge each other so harshly.

[telegramsam]

@Ynno2 people love to laugh at weakness, frailty, awkwardness etc. in others. It makes them feel big & important, even though it's more pathetic than what they are laughing at. I think the person who wrote the letter just wanted somebody to talk to, even if it's just a letter that will never get a reply.

[voktyabreh]

Oh god XD
