RIP Andy Rourke

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

RIP Andy Rourke

This is a nice one, though you could file under 'after sad death journo finally has balls to say the rythm section were an important part of the smiths', if you were that way inclined

Sometimes one of the most radical things you can do is to speak clearly. When someone dies, out come the usual blandishments … as if their death is there to be used. I’m not prepared to do this with Andy. I just hope … wherever Andy has gone … that he’s OK. He will never die as long as his music is heard. He didn’t ever know his own power, and nothing that he played had been played by someone else. His distinction was so terrific and unconventional and he proved it could be done. He was also very, very funny and very happy, and post-Smiths, he kept a steady identity - never any manufactured moves. I suppose, at the end of it all, we hope to feel that we were valued. Andy need not worry about that.
