People I'd like to meet (11 person items)"I love the Manic street preachers and in particular the "Holy Bible", the album released in 1994 written by Richey Edwards and Nicky Wire. the songs that Richey wrote are incredible, both the songs that are about his personality and the songs about politic. I have read some books about the Manics and Richey story and listen to many of his interview, I think he was (is?) a bright intelligent guy, very emotive and interesting. I really have liked to met him.
