Channel 4 was incredible in the eighties. Great times - everything so fresh and new. Nothing really like it today.

Even though Tony Wilson was misguided in some of his business practices, his ideals and genuine love of Manchester, the music and the people, for me; makes him one of the most likeable blokes of his generation. I was brought in Liverpool and I don't know anyone in Liverpool of that that time, who felt so dearly about their city. I don't care what anyone says. We may have brought forth The Beatles, The La's, Cast, Space, The Coral, The Cavern (blah, blah) etc. but Manchester gave birth to: Joy Division Martin Hannett New Order The Duritti Column A Certain Ratio 808 State Mike Pickering A Guy Called Gerald Happy Mondays The Stone Rose's Thr Smiths John Cooper Clarke. The we have places like Afflecks Palace, All The Northern Quarter, Band on the Wall. Strawberry Studio (Sadly no longer exists) The Hacienda (Is now fancy apartments. I never got experience it - was too young 😢) The dry bar 🍸 (no longer- exists- why the hell did that close? It looked awesome). There, are probably loads, and loads that I have neglected to mention. This also includes all the back catalogue of wonderful Twisted Nerve Records. Sorry for going on, very boring 😴 but despite being scouser I can't help but admire Manchester as a city.

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. RIP Anthony

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.

Your statement is self-contradictory and yet you are totally correct.
