"Think Tony invented his own film in which he lived"
Step On and LWTUA played.
Shaun Ryder when asked if he dropped off a tape to him said .. NO -drop out weed for him!
AWH-people have treated me with contempt.Suddenly i am dying of cancer and EVERYONE loves me.
Steve Morris......great thing about Tony is he would JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
Paul Morley also said ....... FACTORY so important.Tony was an intellectual in popular culture.Tony saw importance in things.ALL very important.
thanks mick..you are a legend in yur own lnchtime...was feeling abit sad...but the interview was so uplifting from all of them ...tony included
Paul Morley " when you hated him you thought shit i should love him and when you loved him you thought shit , i should hate him"
I liked the quip from Tony about the south giving us (in musical terms) 'Chas and fucking Dave' 
It's a very northern attitude. In London they would smile and not mean it. In Manchester, they would call you a cunt and only half-mean it - but only because you might have thought you were better than everybody else.
Tony got pantomime boos whenever he made a public appearance. The difference is, we all knew he was a great bloke really. It just wasn't the done thing to show it.
Wilson and Factory Records was the pilot light that ignited the 21st Century Manchester resurgence. I hope there'll be a huge gig to celebrate him.

Can't remember which one said it but it was something like " if we'd told Tony we loved him he'd never have been the presence he was , would never have achieved what he did"

Agreed. Still remarkably camera-shy after all these years. They know what must happen next. Makes all this squabbling seem pathetic, now that Rob and Tony have gone from their own age group.
The filmed part of the Newsnight tribute (but not the discussion afterwards) is here:
There's a bit of Stephen's quotes here from the NME
New Order and Joy Division's Stephen Morris has paid tribute to Tony Wilson who died tonight (August 10).
The drummer's bands were both signed by the legend's Factory Records and he in turn became an important guiding force on their career.
"There would be no Joy Division or New Order without Tony," Morris told Newsnight. "He really believed in us and he was smart enough to start a label and put our records out."
He added: "He was so enthusiastic, he was always 'we'll just go ahead an do it and figure out why we did it afterwards. It was his sense of enthusiasm that was so important. You could have an argument with Tony and walk out hating him and the next time you saw him it was all forgotten. You just love him."

You're better off clicking this and then fast forwarding to around the 19 minute mark..
yeah i see i screwed up. The first 9 mins of you tube didnt work.
Thanks..i'm a retard.
Found this really hard to watch at the time.
Four blokes of an age, talking about their mate they'd known for 30+ years who'd literally just died 5hrs earlier.
Poignant stuff. Touched the heart-strings.
a very considered piece ,,wilson realy used to wind madley up on granada reports,some good anecdotes.
heres to the manchester "chippiness"
so it goes

because he owed Mr. Wilson 20 quid...now he doesn't have to pay it back...
great tribute to Tony, it was hard when i watched first in the spanish forum.
About how steve did behave during the interview, i can say all people act in different ways in a fact like that, it doesn't mean nothing

I agree. I think he was just trying to be strong, in his own adorable Mr. Morris manner.
A+ for good behavior, 
. 
Steve was like that because, as always, he was nervous. Has anyone ever seen him interviewed on national news before? If it was me, I wouldn't know whether to smile, cry or poop myself. I think they all behaved admirably.

I'm sure it warms the cockles of Steve the Boys heart to have you grade him so highly. Maybe he was just thinking of the tea and biscuits that were waiting for him when he got home to Gillian and the girls...or maybe he was thinking he'd take the lasses for a jaunt through the countryside in one of the tanks....

I'm looking forward to the next edition of jenn's blog, to help me deal with my grief.
