Coming up on a year. Inexplicable that it feels like an unhealed wound to me.

His malignant spirit lives on wherever someone compulsively acts like a dick.

BTW, next up on my tub reads, in about a week, will be MES' weird memoir Renegade.

I fèel it's a little more complicated than simply being a dick. There is a certain style to his dickish behaviour. If it's cool to stick up two fingers to conformity then Mark would stick up three.

Oh, definitely. He was more than a bit of a monster, but it was with such panache that he mesmerized. It's telling that so many ex-Fall members in some respects traumatized by the experience said they'd go back in an instant. He was a rare bird who created his own environment.

I was reading that article yesterday. I agree, if that ever reaches the screen it'll be fascinating.
The script sounds like the perfect distillation of MES and the Fall

I just learned of this book a few days ago and even tho I rarely do more than quickly thumb thru these coffee table books, I had to get it (showed up today).

I haven't read it but Steve Hanley's book (The Big Midweek: Life Inside the Fall) is supposed to be really good.

I've read that; it's solid. The best Fall book is Dave Simpson's The Fallen, where the author tries to track down everybody who was ever in The Fall. If memory serves, Karl Burns was the great white whale who eluded him. But the takeaway from The Fallen was that a lot of people were traumatized by their experience, yet pretty much everyone would (or did) go back. Baffling.
