RIP Mark.E Smith

Not to everyone's taste but a true original and quite poetic at times.

Oh my God. Awful news.
The guy was a character, he really was. What was the cause of death?
RIP.

Re: RIP Mark.E Smith

Never liked him or his 'music'.

I was in to Punk and New Wave/Post Punk but the Fall never floated my boat........They were crap tbh.

Still, at least he had a go!

I'll admit his music wasn't to my taste but he was a talented man. RIP Mark.

He was a man of principles and was true to his beliefs.

The Fall never reached their full potential on the larger world stage because he wouldn't bow the the corporate money men controlling the record labels.

Re: RIP Mark.E Smith

The way I heard it was he wouldn't join Factory Records because the were all Man Utd fans.

I didn't dislike all his music. There were a couple of tracks I liked!
