Farewell Seething Wells


I saw Steven Wells in his ranting punk poet days as Seething Wells in the early 80's. He went on to become one of the finest writers at the NME, at a time when said publication was actually worth reading, then The Guardian. I was shocked and saddened to learn of his death and moved to tears by his farewell column for the Philadelphia Weekly.

Indeed. Eeerily prescient that he signs off his final comment with a reference to a Jacksons song
