Summary
The Sick Bag Song chronicles Cave's journey with his band, the Bad Seeds, on a 22-day North American tour. Inspired by John Berryman's Dream Songs, it is an epic exploration of inspiration, creativity, loss, love and death.
The book blends poetry, lyrics, memories, musings, flights of fancy and journal entries. The Sick Bag Song began life scribbled onto airline sick bags acquired during the internal flights taken by Cave during the tour. To some degree a companion piece to his feature doc 20,000 Days on Earth, The Sick Bag Song further explores and develops the mystique of Nick Cave.

Great creative flow
Lovely insight into creativity 'at work'.
The inspiring riff on procrastination will chuckle the guts of readers who also write.

Absolutely brilliant!
Nick Cave narrates his masterpiece with powerful emotion. Such a wonderful journey of longing for his beautiful wife while on tour. It’s a beautiful blend of memories, musings, poetry, lyrics, flights of fancy and road journal. It is comic honesty Listen to the Sick Bag song, you’ll love it.

An epic poem
Listened to it in one sitting. Nick Cave reading hos own words to you as he pines for his wife on tour and waxes lyrical about it. I reckon I'll listen to it again before long. Just great.
