the fall is not about music, it's about smith. if you enjoy listening to pissheads ramble incoherently...go & live in a pub toilet.
It's the type of people who DON'T like the Fall but think they do who MES would avoid.
I don't believe MES thinks his contribution to music is nil... he's a big fan of his group, unlike many performers who lost interest ages ago and do it just for money or fame or ego.
The Fall *IS* about music, just not music for the sake of music - it's music done the MES way.
If you think MES is a just pissheads ramble incoherently then yes you might as well go live in a pub toilet!
