is that Tony Wilson, or Anthony Wilson or Anthony H Wilson? aside from his slack management of Factory Records and his being a mover in UK pop Wilson was a twat. Having said that another Wilson would be welcomed.
i just love how he ran factory records because he insured that nothing was attached to him or the partners a pure gem in the music business and someone like him will never come up again
factory and wilson were about the artists and not money..... think we are cut from the same cloth frieind....tony wilson was not only a true genius he was manchester...shame hooky didt think the same.. laugh
who else could own a nightclub that was known as the greatest in the world and have a portrait of yourself at the entrance.pure northern genius.sadly missed.rip
Early in his career, he was offered a TV job in London. He drove down, got as far as just outside the capital and then changed his mind and turned back. How much different Manchester would have been if he hadn't.
He walked it like he talked it. How many can say the same? RIP a northern legend.
great clip of a great man who is going to be desperately missed, who is desperately missed.
Hard to imagine that voice, that eloquence, that humour dry being made silent.
That said, I like it in this interview where he talks about So It Goes and It's importance. He talk about the number of people who can remember where they were when they saw the Pistols on that show.
It wouldn't be hard to guess where they were. At home watching the TV.
All in Knightsbridge. Everyone.
