Mark E Smith is 60

Still a woman beater too.

is he ?

Apparently

ah right. Apparently. Fact then.

Don’t know about him being a woman beater, I though you were responding to OP.
He’s a prick for sure - read the Brix Smith book & he seems to be a lost cause.

Sort of surprised he’s not older. He’s looked around 60 for about 20 years now.

I replied to roastthemonaspit. Yeah I’ve read quite a few fall books, including Brix’s. he’s most definately an unpleasant man at times by all accounts. Just don’t like the rumour presented as fact stuff we get a lot on dis…

60? Haha loser

didn’t know Krishnan Guru-Murthy is a Fall fan

yeah these are both great. haven’t read Brix’s yet but heard her read a couple of chapters from it

I’m genuinely amazed that he’s made it to 60. That guy’s insides must be a festering mess.

so what

The Fallen is the best book on them I think!
