Up on our hind legs
Grinderman's song 'Go Tell the Women' has been construed as an anthem to male musicians throwing off the shackles of their wives' anxieties and control freaky behaviour while on tour. Sorry ... if only. One quick read of the short story 'Tell the women we're going' by Raymond Carver will put you straight on Nick Caves' modus operandi. The story ends in a quarry and you can never, ever unread the ending. Here.
I can't say I care that much for the song, but I thought the story was pretty good.
