A Design For The Future: Manic Street Preachers
Jon Savage, Dazed & Confused, 1996
What follows is a transcript of an interview Jon Savage did with Nicky Wire in February 1996, during which Nicky agreed to talk frankly and on the record about Richey James' continued disappearance and its impact on the group. It is to be hoped that these answers will reduce the need for further questioning on the subject.
