Nick Cave is the front man for the Australian rock band, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I admit that I have never heard their music . . . in fact, I had never heard of them at all until I found this one brief line in a search for today’s quote on the subject of risk-taking.

What led me along this path was the thought of all of the multi-billionaires who might now be preparing to jump wallets-first into Donald Trump’s scheme for the construction of a new city on the Gaza Strip. And, while Nick Cave’s music is said to be “characterised by emotional intensity and lyrical obsessions with death and violence” [en.wikipedia.org], I found this one bit of lyric to be oddly comforting:

“If you’re gonna dine with them cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you’re gonna get eaten.”

– Nick Cave, “Cannibal’s Hymn”

In some perverse way, it gives me hope for the future awaiting all of those MAGA “cannibals” out there . . . both the leaders and their mindless followers . . . when karma finally catches up with them.

Just sayin’ . . .
