Nick ... was simply ahead of his time with his music, I feel.

That's exactly it, Yali. He didn't 'fit' at the time. We have moved on since 1974. However people discover Nick Drake, whether through a VW ad or recommended by a mate, is irrelevant. As long as they discover it - because there is more meaning, and expression of humanity in his three short albums than some of the biggest, best and most long-lived artists achieve in a lifetime. His music transcends pigeon holes - it's not folk, it's not pop, it's not classical, it's not rock and you won't hear it on the radio ever. It's entirely original and I find it profoundly moving.

Thanks Nick where ever you are.

Nick was at my wedding and I want him at my funeral.

If you haven't seen Keith James play the songs of Nick Drake live, I heartily recommend it. But bring a hankie - you'll be moved. http://www.songsofnickdrake.com/tour_dates.php
