Oh no. He was a genius. Amazing imagination.

Sad day. Big part of my youth. Unique, cantankerous, influential, funny as eck, wordsmith.
RIP MES

 

[mites]

The Fall are my favorite band. RIP MES.

"If it's me and yer granny on bongos, it's The Fall."

his flirty ode to youth "i'm a 50-year old man...and i like you" is my favourite line.

30 albums is a fair legacy to leave behind though.

If Mark E Smith has gone to join the great band in the sky, does it mean we'll get the others back as he kicks them out?

 

[strummer]

Total one off who will be sadly missed. He once sacked his sound engineer for ordering a salad

I worry for Shane McGowan an absolute hero in his pomp

On BBC 6 Music, Sunday, 14.00, Mark E Smith talks about his life in The Fall.

 

[strummer]

He sacked so many in his entourage yet not 1 of them seem to have a bad word said about him. Don't think we'll ever see his like again

Why, what’s wrong with him?

I’d be more concerned about Ken Dodd if I were you.

Have you seen Shane recently? He looks like a thunderbird puppet with woodworm. He makes ken Dodd look sprightly.

No, I’ve not seen Shane for a good few years.

I’ll take your word on it though.

Say hi for me next time to bump into him.
