Subject: Kevin Carter TAB
Artist: Manic Street Preachers
Song: Kevin Carter
Album: Everything Must Go
Hi there! This is one of the three songs on "Everything
Must Go" that was written by Richey. He co-wrote a few
others on the album as well but you probably know that.
Kevin Carter was a photographer who took a picture of a
vulture standing near a dying child. This photo won him
the Pulitzer prize and he became very famous. He was not
happy and so killed himself because he couldn't live with
the thought that instead of helping the child he
photographed it and left it to die.

| yeah cherubrock's right about the trumpet solo, it doesn't sound anywhere near as incongruous asyou'd think, it actually works quite well. | |

| MissD summed up the story behind the song pretty much spot on. By the way not that long before Richie's disapearance, James played the song to him. Apparantly Richie didn't like the music, he preferred the heavier sounds from the earlier albums. | |

| This song is musically one of the Manics' best I think. The lyrics are really interesting. I was thinking the other say about the line "Vulture stalked white-piped lie forever", which is a pretty bizarre lyric. But it made me think how ironic it was that Carter was photographing a vulture when the press (particularly the paparazzi) are often described as "vultures", making him the kind of super-vulture in that situation. Thinking about it like that, it doesn't exactly surprise me that he killed himself. | |

| Kevin Carter was a photographer and won the pulitzer prize for a photo of a vulture standing looking over a starving child in Africa. The picture became famous despite it's controversial contents. Kevin Carter was a war photographer. The picture was taken during the apartheid and kevin carter and the group of photographers he travelled with [the bang bang club] were known as kaffir lovers. Kaffir Lovers were ppl who sympathised with the africans who were being discriminated against. Kevin Carter gave up war photography for nature he couldn't take the scenes of hardship ne more. But unable to cope with the guilt he went on to kill himself. | |
