This guy helped to establish New Wave and Punk music and most of us never knew he was. I only found out about him from the movie that was made about him called 24 Hour Party People. If you ever wanted to know how those music genre’s got their start, I seriously suggest renting this movie and find out what a big loss Tony Wilson’s death is to music.
Game show fixture Charles Nelson Reilly died on Friday at the age of 76 from complications from pneumonia according to AAP. He was best known for his wit on the game shows The Match Game and Hollywood Squares, but he was also a Tony Award actor.
I will miss him, he definitely was an original! (BTW this was the best clip I could find, and I don’t think it fully captures how brilliant he was)
