我与xx女神的交往
21 Oct 1996 To all those at MTV,
Iwouldliketostartbythankingyouallforthesupportyouhavegiven
meoverrecentyears and I am both grateful and flattered bythe nominations that Ihavereceived forBest Male Artist.
TheairplaygiventoboththeKylieMinogueandP.J.Harveyduetsfrom mylatestalbumMurder Ballads has not gone unnoticed and hasbeen greatly appreciated.
So again my sincere thanks. mrdx41.jpg
Having said that, I feel that it's necessary for me to
requestthatmynominationforbestmaleartistbewithdrawnandfurthermoreanyawardsornominationsforsuchawardsthatmayariseinlateryearsbepresentedtothosewhofeelmorecomfortablewiththecompetitivenature of these award ceremonies.
I myself, do not.
I have always been of the opinion that my music is unique
andindividualandexistsbeyondtherealmsinhabitedbythosewhowould1reducethings to mere measuring.
I am in competition with no-one.

She comes to me with the gift of song and in return I treat herwith therespectIfeel she deserves—in this case this means notsubjecting her to theindignitiesofjudgement and competition.
My muse is not a horse and I am in no horse race and if indeedshewas,stillIwouldnotharnesshertothistumbrel— thisbloodycartofseveredheads and glittering prizes.
My muse may spook! May bolt! May abandon me completely!So
onceagain,tothe people at MTV, I appreciate the zeal andenergy that was put behindmylastrecord, I truly do and say thankyou and again I say thank you but no...nothankyou.
Yours sincerely, Nick Cave 1996年10月21日 致MTV团队全体同仁
首先我向全体同仁致谢,感谢你们近几年来的支持。对于我获得最佳男艺术家的提名,我感到无上的感激与荣幸。
出自我最新专辑《谋杀民谣中,凯莉米洛和P.J哈维的合唱,已获得关注且颇得好评。
所以再次致以诚挚的谢意。
话虽如此,我感到有必要请求取消我最佳男艺术家的提名,并且未来可2能的任何类似的奖项或提名,请颁给那些对颁奖典礼的竞争属性感到更为舒适的人。
至于我,并不是。
我一直持有这种观点,我的音乐是独特的,唯一的,它的存在超越了纯数值计算。

我不与任何人竞赛。
我与缪斯(灵感)女神的交往,恰逢其会,精心雅致。我感到我的职责便是保护她的精巧气质,免受伤害。她走近我,赠予我歌之禀赋,我当报以她应得的敬意,如此,也意味着,我不会让她遭受评判与竞争之辱。我的缪斯女神
不是一匹马,我也并没有参加赛马比赛。即便她真的曾是匹马,我也不会把她系上这死囚车。那血腥的马车上携着砍下的头颅和璀璨的奖金。我的女神也许会受惊,也许会脱缰,也许会彻底抛弃我!
所以,MTV团队,我再一次对你们在我新唱片背后所付出的热忱与精力表示感谢,发自肺腑的不胜感激,真的我要再说一次感谢!但,(关于提名)还是别了,别了……感谢!
