Sculptures representing charred chimneys rising from the smoldering rubble of burned-out buildings make up the Centennial memorial of the 1908 Race Riot entitled, "Acts of Intolerance" by Preston Jackson, March 22, 2023, in Springfield, Ill. The Illinois Prisoner Review Board is considering a request to posthumously pardon Joe James by advocates who contend he did not receive a fair trial before he was hanged for murdering a white man.

Nick Cave has been singing about mortality for decades, and he's really good at it. Whether the narratives are biblical or pulpy, the victims innocents or death row convicts, the circumstances comprehensible or cruelly random, Cave's songs are on intimate terms with the infinite ways a life can be extinguished.
