"Who is Nick Drake?" , you may be asking. Well, don't worry because I will tell you!The other day while visiting a store selling music I was intrigued by the cover art on a CD by an artist named Nick Drake. I wondered why I had never heard of this artist who's hairstyle and dress seemed to indicate he belonged to the 70's. Well, after doing some research I discovered why I had never heard of him...he suffered from severe depression most of his short life, and died young. Introverted and soft spoken he was reluctant to do interviews, and shied away from performing live. In fact, if I am not mistaken, no surviving footage of him performing even exists. Though luckily we still have his music, and when one of his songs "Pink Moon" was used in an automobile commercial posthumously, he began to garner some of the notoriety that eluded him during his life. A myspace page is set up in his honor at http://myspace.com/nickdrake.
