The Heath Ledger/Nick Drake Connection
I wrote the post below earlier this morning…. just thinking to myself how much this reminded me of the Nick Drake story… now Pitchfork has this.
I had no idea that Ledger was obsessed with Drake, nor that he was in a video for Drake’s “Black Eyed Dog” last year (that has yet to be released), where he drowns himself in a bathtub at the end.
From Pitchfork:
“The song playing during this is Drake’s “Black Eyed Dog”, purportedly the last song the English singer ever wrote and allegedly a reference to Winston Churchill’s description of depression.”
