Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young
This hits hard. My youth. My band.
RIP Rick Buckler.

Thinking of Manic Street Preachers' Richey Edwards on the 30th anniversary of his disappearance. I interviewed Richey twice - in 1990 and 1992. I’ve never met anyone so eloquent or articulate, nor someone so startlingly honest and so deeply thoughtful. Below is the pic from that first meeting
