Subject: Re: Tony Wilson RIP

Hi,

This is a request from the heart - please help keep modern music alive by signing this and passing on the link to anyone in your address book, who ever danced in a darkened room at 4 am, picked up a guitar and played it with attitude, or just said f*** it. This mans life was as important to music as Elvis or Lennon and he never even wrote a f***ing song.

115 views of this topic so far Em and you're the first to ask, although I've no doubt at all, not the first to not know who I'm talking about - thanks for caring enough to ask mate....and for reference :-

Check up on who Tony Wilson was here....

As I say, not a Cornish lad, but certainly relevant to the development of the music scene as it is today, so worth being remembered....I think

Ok, now i know x

a true legend, will be sadly missed
im from this part of the world and let me tell you all, its an absolute pleasure to be involved in the manchester music scene today and its only where it is now due to people like Tony

Shame, it wasnt even his cancer that killed him...

Just thought what Tony said here sums this country up and prob the rest of the western civilisation:

Wilson said: "This [Sutent] is my only real option. It is not a cure but can hold the cancer back, so I will probably be on it until I die ... When they said I would have to pay £3,500 for the drugs each month, I thought where am I going to find the money? I'm the one person in this industry who famously has never made any money ... I used to say some people make money and some make history - which is very funny until you find you can't afford to keep yourself alive ... I've never paid for private healthcare because I'm a socialist. Now I find you can get tummy tucks and cosmetic surgery on the NHS but not the drugs I need to stay alive. It is a scandal" (BBC report)

Vainity rulles over health!!!

It's taking over everyone wants to look like someone else!
