Sad to hear the news that Tony Wilson died on Friday. What is it about popular music figures that makes them die young? Fifty seven ain’t no age at all.
I read a great quote from him in today’s Independent from his final interview.
“In the North-west it rains and it rains. And yet we managed to produce the industrial revolution, trade union movement, the Communist Manifesto and even the goddam computer. Down south, where the sun never sets, you took all our money and what did you produce? Chas and fucking Dave.”
