Wellington busking legend and poet John Adams dies


"The Poetry Archive of NZ Aotearoa (PANZA) has just posted the following tribute to American-born Wellington busking legend and poet John Adams (also known as 'Kenny'). Adams has died from a brain tumour at 64. He was a popular street entertainer in Wellington's Courtenay Place bar district and was nicknamed 'Kenny' after his resemblance to American country singer Kenny Rogers.
