For Nick Cave, sick bags chart a rock star's odyssey

Nick Cave (pictured in London on February 8, 2015) suggested that "The Sick Bag Song" is the closest he would come to a memoir, other than a film on his life released last year, "20,000 Days on Earth" For Nick Cave, the image seems intended. The Australian rock icon has authored a quasi-memoir in the form of a collection of sick bags, on which he jotted down ideas as he flew across North America on a 2014 tour. In a storyline with hints of Homer's Odyssey, the 57-year-old rocker on "The Sick Bag Song" seeks his way home and reminisces about his past as he, symbolically, vomits out his inner thoughts. In entries that drift between poetry and journal entries, Cave describes the haze of his life as a performer.
