He didnt care about the music or what it stood for.
As is the story of 99.9999999% of the 'suits' in music.
Of course there is always the odd Tony Wilson bobbing around somewhere...

garinda said:The same Tony Wilson who wears a suit, and made a fortune from bands and clubs?

Romps said:totally agree GC I never voted on any of these programmes before but last night I did vote for Andy.............he'll make it regardless, look at Will Young......he too came 2nd! Wheres Gareth Gates these days?
shakermaker said:never 'owned' a band Tony Wilson
never held a contract to a band Tony Wilson
constantly looking for new talent Tony Wilson
discovered Joy Division (& New Order obviously) and Happy Mondays!
in my opinion the industry could do with a lot more Tony Wilsons!!
Romps said:Sorry i thought he was runner up? oh well, where is Gareth anyhow maybe he's giving out scratch cards as well!!

garinda said:No just the guy who wore the suit, and owned the said bands record labelm making him ooldes of dosh.
Nothing against the geezer, but he's not at total altruist.
shakermaker said:actualy the label you're talking of, Factory records, all the money made from it went straight into his Manchester nightclub where he lost a lot of money due to no one buying drinks (because of the escalating drug scene at the time) and forking out for big name DJs etc.
i know what you mean though he is no way straight but he does run his label for a lot of the right reasons, looking for great new bands in unthinkable places instead of owning a conveyor belt running off thousands of Kylies.....shudder shudder
