Some News for Thu Jun 25
du Nord, June 25, 2009
STARTERSOne of my favorite writers for the past 25 years has died - Steven Wells. Never for the faint of heart, always for the strong of wit and will, I first read his stuff in the English music weekly New Music Express (NME) and later in the Guardian. He died of cancer at age 49. Please have a good thought for his family today. The past few years Swells, as he was known, was living in Philadelphia and regularly contributing to the Philadelphia Weekly. This week his battle with cancer story is on the cover of that paper. Powerful stuff. The Guardian has a very nice remembrance of a guy you really did feel you could call a mate, or arsehole, he didn't mind either one. The NME has a little something today, and promise more next week. RIP Steven, RIP my man!TEAM USA - CONFEDERATIONS CUPIt will be USA v Brazil in the Confederations Cup Final.Semifinal Match:-Wed Jun 24USA 2-0 Spain - USA goals by Jozy Altidore & Clint Dempsey.dNSpanish paper AS reports some horrible news that appears to have gone unnoticed over
