It's not surprising that it didn't make much of a news splash in the
U.S., but Tony Wilson died earlier this month. While he can't take full
credit, the man was at least partly responsible for Factory Records,
Joy Division, New Order, the Hacienda (a.k.a the Hallucienda), the
whole Madchester scene and the irreverently post-modern bio pic 24 Hour Party People. NME has lots of coverage: obituary, news story and
tributes from New
Order and Alan
McGee.
