i don't know how many people on here would be interested in this. i was reading about the manics last night and their last gig before richey vanished was on the 21st of december (winter solistice), they've often complained that the 2nights previously they kept getting nosebleeds during the soundchecks, and that the last gig (on the 21st) was the best gig they'd ever played. flash forward to richeys actual disapearance on the 1st of febuary, imbolic. weird no?
the winter solistice is the shortest day of the year and imbolic is the returning of the sun.

and at some point in time some guy wrote an article about it all and said this; "But the weirdest correspondence in the police file came at the end of the year from Bob Whitmore of Palma, Mallorca. After studying some of the darker Manics lyrics, he suggests connections with mysticism, and perhaps the writings of Aleister Crowley: "Was Mr. Edwards a member of an esoteric or fraternal order?" The police then called the Mandrake occult bookshop in Oxford, and were told the same day that Mr. Whitmore had misunderstood Crowley. Another dead end." (i found this after googling 'richey occult')

i'm not making any assumptions or anything i was just wondering if anyone else had any ideas or anything. theres the whole self harming thing too. and he certainly knew about the nwo, just read any of his lyrics. (quick example of a song name 'ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldf allapart')

I'm sure there was more to Richey's death than we've been told. He was heavily into authors with connections to mysticism and he read about a book a day.

He shaved his head (just like Britney and Kurt) and seemed to go completely mad at 27.

February 1st is the return of the sun? Is that why people say "White rabbits" on that day - like a pagan ritual?

yeah its a pagan festival marking the begining of spring. the return of the sun. like an explaination as to why animals start fucking in spring. its when things like stonehenge line up to the sun at dawn, and stuff like that. its one of them days, like midsummer and midwinter. theres the spring equinox on march 17 as well, but i think thats a different set of pagans.
but yeah, some holy bible lyrics are abit occulty and with his reading material and his tattoos, i can't help feel that he knew something. or maybe even created. i dunno, MKultra? is that how that'd work?

fuck it, i love the manics.
