Thread Name: 5 Favourite Songs by The Fall
Subject: RE: 5 Favourite Songs by The Fall
I was saying that I didn't find that last video you posted to be terribly apt or worthwhile, Suibhne.
Thing is, as this thread is a discussion on The Fall - who are something of a British institution really; Mark E Smith is held in considerable affection across the generations - then not only was it terribly apt, but it was certainly worthwhile. Maybe from an American perspective it might seem a little strange, but having Mark E Smith appear as a vision of Christ to a deranged Christian Fundamentalist (is there any other sort?) in the attic of the flat of a Salford drug dealer makes perfect sense, and is, in any case, richly spiritual on various fronts. And funny too. Sorry you missed it.
On Jim Eldon I agree however, a man in touching distance of genius.
In my heart, Jim surpasses them all!
