Tony Wilson

The first obituary that i've seen for him is over on Idolator. Honestly, i didn't really understand who he was properly until after 24 Hour Party People, as Manchester was never center of my universe, even though now some of the bands on Factory play key roles in my music collection. (Lou was very patient with my ignorance of certain periods of British music, but i deserved to have had my ass kicked.)

Quite depressing... he'd been fighting this cancer for awhile.
