Re: Nick Drake
He was something of a flawed tragic genius, unique and quite brilliant, I have everything he recorded I think, though that's really only 3 exquisite albums, and some out-takes, I don't know if his short life was ever eventful enough to justify a movie bio-pic, as he was quite reclusive and had few friends, though there are at least 2 other superb documentaries I have seen, and Trevor Dann's 'Darker Than the Deepest Sea' written biography is one of the best biographies of a musician I have ever read.
I already posted 'Riverman' on YouTube once before in this thread, but it's just such a miraculous, almost life-changing song, that it bears a repeat posting...
