She also has the post-punk, goth, indie stamp of approval so it's win/win! It was great to see Nick Cave speaking in this documentary too. Their friendship seems so genuine. I remember the first time i saw this music video as a young teen and it blew me away 😍

😂😂 And there's no doing anything about it!

A YouTube comment on a video of The Rum Tum Tugger from Cats. Comment reads: my cousin hates both cats and the musical cats [the way id disown him tbh] he dared me to make him like both animal and musical, I showed him this and what i got in response was "i said make me like cats, not make me gay." I wheezed.
