Tony Wilson had a heart attack this week & after suffering prolonged illness died comfortably yesterday in Manchester. He was a hoot. He played records, he did telly, he started record companies, he made glitzy crap, he started the Hacienda club, he play his part in so many roles. Most of them of such importance to our contemporary culture and media that at first it's just too easy to think he had the long difficult death coming and it doesn't matter if people don't make or do that sort of music or telly or if Manchester still isn't free.

they've made him a music mogul now - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6941392.stm
but who sold more records because of him? sex pistols or joy division or durutti's column or happy mondays? did any of the drug taking angst political confusion popular youth marketed to your eyeballs culture movement thing work? Was it all really so bad?

they apparantly want youngsters to have role models says the ex-boxer Amir Khan - http://observer.guardian.co.uk/focus/story/0,,2147117,0....html I reckon they just need good parties & happy chems.
RIP Tony Wilson
