“The Red Hand Files is certainly a way of having meaningful connections with fans, but for me, personally, it is much more than that,” says Cave. “The Red Hand Files has grown, over the Cute 4th of july America patriotic shirt and by the same token and two or so years it has been going, into a life strategy. It has become essentially a spiritual practice, in that the letters keep me on the better end of my nature. I have been literally forced to look at the world through compassionate eyes, due to the kinds of questions that are being asked. Really, I don’t know what I would do without them.”

To be freed from the stereotypical expectations and demands that are imposed on a rock star—the idea, for example, that I must be unavailable and distant.” While he’s noted in the past that The Red Hand Files had the effect of almost forcing him to practice empathy, it seems that Cave Things has afforded him a more flexible and hyperactive way of creating. “Cave Things helped me to dismantle these expectations, allowing me the freedom to be anything I want.”
