Nick Drake Fans:

[Ann Coates]

Just a reminder for anyone not fortunate enough to be going to see Morrissey tonight, there will be a documentary on Nick Drake airing on BBC Radio 2 (and hosted by Brad Pitt, of all people) between 9 and 10 pm (or 4 and 5 pm for those in eastern time zones).

Oh, and have a great time at the show, you bastards!

Pitt to portray Drake in biopic

Apparently, they're developing the script at the moment. Pitt's involved at all levels here.

I see the physical resemblance, actually.

Wow, really? That should be interesting. And with Brad Pitt starring, it is certain to have some level of interest from the general public (as opposed to just fans of Drake).

Now that you mention it, there actually is some physical resemblence between the two. Drake could almost be Pitt's lankier, paler, "prettier" (less "rugged") younger brother (I realize he'd be older now, but he was very young when he died).

I certainly dont - Nick Drake would roll over in his grave to know that him was being portrayed by a "himbo". I cant visualise Pitt coping with the accent either!
