"I'm a minor player in my own life story"

Tony Wilson
RIP


"I am not a piece of hash. I'm in charge of Factory Records. I think."

I have a mate who reminds me a lot of the late Tony Wilson. He runs a number of club nights, manages bands, promotes, gets "stuff", plays in about 197 bands (or there about') drinks hard and is the hardest working man in rock n roll. Think on Joe, think on. Tony Wilson was only 57.....

Unknown Pleasures I think....

Who knew he was that unwell? He lived about 5 lives over that guy.

I liked Steve Coogan playing him in the film. R.I.P.

I tried to post a tribute typed in blood but I made a bit of a mess.
