The motivations behind writing this are twofold. First, as a PSA for those of you who have yet to subscribe to Nick Cave's weekly email newsletter: The Red Hand Files. Second, to highlight the exceptional 1981 documentary film This Is Elvis -- a film Cave references in issue #34. The context for its inclusion is in relation to Cave's thoughts on the transformative power of music, and specifically how it relates to Presley near the end of his life . . .
