Just read an interview with Mark E. Smith today where he mentions how disgusted he is with bands these days citing his music as an influence (i. e. Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand). Then he goes into those like Sonic Youth or Henry Rollins. He said, and I'm paraphrasing, that he would not even shake Sonic Youth's hands and Rollins is a madman.
I Looooooooove The Fall and I also love Sonic Youth (Rather Ripped withstanding). Mark E. Smith's opinions don't make much difference to me (except the part about hating Bloc Party and FF, I hate them as well) as long as the music is good. I'm so excited to finally see the Fall. This Sunday at 8PM I'll be getting drunk with Mark E. Smith!!!!
