I had witnessed something real on stage. Real, yet also cliched in a twisted way. Heroic and pathetic at the same time. I'm still not sure what to make of it or him, but he's made me stop and listen many times, that's for sure.

SEE THAT QUOTE where he says he's getting really good at singing? he's spot on - ! at that point ..he was spot on. that strange tonal rhythmn , awkward as Charlie "DONKEE" Chuck and Shaun Ryder YET really gets it right - no one else like it ...and thats bearing in mind that hundreds have tried to immitate it. yes your right ...priceless

I've met Mark and he is a gentle, sensitive man, at least he was to me,

Why did security let an Alzheimers-afflicted mumbling vagrant onto the stage to disrupt the gig? I thought the whole point of gig security was to stop that from happening.

I love how every time you see Mark he's got a pint.

MES picking his nose, even that could create something as special as the fall have made.
