R.I.P. Tony Wilson

This is a little late, but I couldn't not post something about it.

The legendary Anthony Wilson passed away last Friday, August 10th.

Once dubbed "Mr. Manchester,"he was best known for being the manager of historic Manchester nightclub (The Hacienda/FAC51), head of Factory Records (recently F4 Records) which was home of Happy Mondays, Joy Division, Durutti Column and numerous other influential Manchester bands. Wilson was also a journalist for Granada Television and the BBC.
