Nick Cave tells the story of the 'Kylie Bag'.

Further Information

TRANSCRIPT

I was on tour in Manchester in 1992 and someone had given me this drug that made me like people. And I was walking through the streets on my own, really late, and somebody took me into a small dark room. And there hanging on the wall of the room was this little shoulder bag, pink and baby blue with the word Kylie printed on the side.

And there was something about that little bag that spoke to me. I don't know. It held such promise, sent shivers up my spine. And I asked the guy if I could have it, and he very kindly gave it to me, saying rather unnecessarily that had he had a Jason one somewhere too. I kept that little pink bag with me for years. Had it in Japan, across the states, across Europe. I felt I kind of rescued it.
