   So, Farewell then
   Anthony H Wilson
   Manager of
   Factory Records
   Of Manchester

   You released records by
   Joy Division
   And
   New
   Order

   Which Keith liked

   You once said
   'Some people make money while
   Some make
   History'

   Is is a pity that
   History
   Could not pay
   Hospital bills

   So, farewell then
   Hilly Kristal
   Owner of punk
   Eden
   CBGB's

   When Keith's mum heard
   She was very upset
   Saying how good
   You'd
   Been in 'When Harry Met Sally'

   Now she has
   Calmed down and
   Realised
   She had never heard of you

   'Hey Ho, Let's Go!'
   Was one of the bands
   You promoted's catchphrase

   And now you have.

   EJ Thribb, 17½

   So, when you shuffle off this mortal coil, do you plan to be entombed Chernobyl-like in the DNA Lounge?

     I figured everyone would chip in to get jwz cryopreserved. Or carbonite, if the Ugnaughts drop their ridiculous prices.

     Then you stick him in the middle of the DNA Lounge, and project an OS X hypnowheel on him.
