Friday


on my mind. The weekend is upon us. Hurrah!!

the tragedy of little stevie

an easy read worht tracking down is abio of little stevie of easybeats fame

think written by jack marx -called sorry

occasionally wheeled out for a reprise of evie parts 1 and 2 or or an easy beats track.

one show had him performing with a broken leg due to some misadventure

last reported living in a caravan down the south coast of new south wales

drugs of course shitloads of them -wasted and a waste

New Idea magazine or was it Woman's Day?

Had a cover story on Stevie Wright. (this is in Australia) It read "Stevie Wright My Tragic Last Days" I remember thinking "That's a bit rude he's still kicking." That was probably twenty years ago and he's still with us! What a life he's had.

I read a book on the Easybeats and some of his drug adventures could have been straight out of a Tarantino film.

Steve had a dealer in Melbourne. Unbeknownst to Steve one of his buddies was using his name to score drugs on credit saying "They're for Stevie."

Well he went around to this place one day to find he had a huge debt he knew nothing about.

Steve was convinced they were going to kill him there and then, they probably would have too except the phone rang. Guess who it was? The one person on earth who could get Steve off the hook. He said "I'm with Stevie Wright, can I get some stuff?" "Sure they said, come around now, come around right now"
