Anthony H Wilson
There are a few famous people (very few) in life that, whenever I know that they are going to be on TV, or publish something, I make a special effort to see or hear them, because what they have to say is always funny, fascinating and thought-provoking.This morning on the radio I heard the sad news that one of those people, Tony Wilson, died last Friday.
For those of you who don't know, he was a Manchester-based entreprenuer responsible for the likes of Joy Division/New Order, the Haçienda nightclub, and Factory Records.
The film "24 Hour Party People" was made about his life starring Steve Coogan.
Excerpts from his last interview are here.
