Poetic Obituaries: [John Bottomley] was always determined

to bring poetry back to the streets and spoke openly about that desire in a NOW cover story published in 1993. In that conversation, he explained why he could only sing from the heart and talked about the dynamic way in which his emotions drove his music

from Now: John Bottomley 1960-2011

I am utterly heart-broken to hear of John's passing!
I did not hear about this until this evening while searching for his music online.
I've been an ardent fan of his work since the early 80's.
For anyone who is not familiar with John's work, I urge you to watch his videos on YT.
He will always occupy a very special place in my heart.
