FAO pants; re: Tony Wilson

Arrogant to be sure; but his track record speaks for itself. And surely nothing wrong with always being on the search for the next big thing (isn't that what you do when you go to watch all these new bands?)

He produced and championed a whole host of *great* bands over the last 30 years: Joy Division, Buzzcocks, Smiths, Fall, New Order, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and a heap of lesser knowns - the list is endless - just check out Factory's back catalogue. And ran one of the best clubs in the UK.
