OMG, I'm stunned. I knew he was very ill with cancer, but even so...

The News  

The Obit.

God, that is so sad.

I've spent half my life watching him, on Granada Reports then later as the head of Factory, the Hacienda etc, then back on Granada Reports when it all went pear shaped.

I'd watch '24 Hour Party People' in his honour, but I don't have the disc with me.

::Raises a glass of cheap red in fond memory::  RIP AHW; you were one of the good guys.

Damn.
Music:: Joy Division
Mood:: 'sad' sad
location: Yorkshire

I'm really sorry :-( Someone who's made so much difference to other people, it feels like the world isn't quite the same now.

I'm gutted. He was a pretentious bastard, but a good humoured pretentious bastard with impeccable taste. (o:

:( You and me both, hon. (as you obviously realise from my entry of earlier.)

His voice is echoing in my head right now. :(

And now it's killing me that I'm not home because of all the great tribute programmes they're sure to be showing. Guess I'll have to download them.

It's like a light has gone out of my world. )o:
