>"I convinced Mark to go to Disneyland with me and my grandfather. Mark thinks he's psychic...We went on this ride called the Matterhorn...It's huge, you can see it from the freeway...it's a scary bobsled ride that goes through tunnels of the Matterhorn. We got off the ride and I swear to fucking God Mark was crying, I asked what was wrong and all he could say was that the ride was evil. >I said it was ridiculous as I'd been going on it since I was eight. To calm him down I took him on the 'It's A Small World' boat ride which is the cheesiest, old-school baby ride with dolls. >We're walking back from it and a rectangular shaped bush parts, and a mini-fire engine comes out, and on the back is a nurse. It drives to the Matterhorn. The whole ride gets cordoned off and people with walkie-talkies and clipboards are running everywhere, it was panic. Mark was right - something just happened on the Matterhorn. They closed the whole place down. We went home and saw the news: it was all 'death at Disneyland.' Someone had either jumped out of the Matterhorn or fell out, and was trapped and decapitated by the oncoming bobsled and it took mountain climbers, like, six hours to get the body off there. And that was Disney's Dream Debased."..."The person who died was Dolly Regene Young. Which was even more bizarre because my nickname from my grandparents was Dolly
Strange bloke.

>>130721720Based Mark
>>130721824Actually it was based on a throw-away X-Files episode
>>130721720I thought it was bs but I googled it and the time frame with the incident matches up, eerie
>>130722115would be a pretty weird thing to make up
Who are some other post-punk frontmen who had mystical powers? picrel
>>130722433Mark and Jeff were drinking buddies at one point. Makes sense as they are both notoriously difficult to be around but genius proto-chuds
>>130722433autism is a super power
>>130721848great album
>>130722433Roger Miller
>>130722115I'm more surprised it made the news. Disney pays lots of money to the right people to specifically make sure that shit like that, along with all the rapes and robberies and shit like that, doesn't get reported.
>>130724578On wikipedia it's listed as the only recorded death on the Matterhorn but I bet there were more
Sensitive fella our Mark.
>>130724703He was an indigo child

>>130725007>Henry RollinsWhat the mystical power of being in the closet?
>>130722115he also talked about machester bombings from 96 (powder keg) and 2016/7 (victoria station massacre) like a precognition

>>130721720>On 3rd January 1984, a 48-year-old woman named Dolly Regene Young was killed on the Matterhorn Bobsleds. She was thrown from her seat into the path of an oncoming bobsled, dying instantly, with her body becoming trapped under the second bobsled>Her seatbelt was found to have been unbuckled, whether by accident or intention, and her death was ruled an accident by Anaheim detective David Tuttle. The ride opened for use the next dayspooky stuff
>>130721720Man I miss Mark so much. He was one of the last real niggas left in the music industry
>>130729501The problem is there are no writers influenced by magical realism like MES anymore which is strange since the line between reality and illusion is as blurred as ever
>>130729554i'd say its more about a problem about the lack of artists close to level of genius of the fall music. for sure lyrics is part of the excellence of music but i could accept shit lyrics if the music is good but that's not the case. with the fall the music is great and the lyrics too, mes is a top 5 rock music lyricists and without falling into rock music lyric platitudes unlike dylan or pavement to name a few
>>130726768The PIRA had been bombing London for years by '96 and it was the only thing the British press covered at the time. Not a long stretch to predict an attack on Manchester. PIRA were based terrorists, by the way. Only casualty was a moronic photographer who ran straight toward the scene of the bomb threat that was called in
>>130721720The only Smiths from Manchester that matter.
>>130722115the story was told after he event. The incident happening isn't enough proof that the actually predicted it
>>130733665Do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?
>>130733732dunno what this means desu. It's just funny to see what counts as irrefutable proof to some people. Maybe he predicted it, there's no way for me to know. It's def more fun to say that he did. If the point is fun though then there's way more fun shit to just decide is real
>>130721720I remember reading an interview where he talked about this and claimed that both he and Brix had taken mescaline before going into Disneyland that day
in this country you could be a working class man who could self-educate and be idiosyncratic, expressing yourself artistically in their own unpretentious way. much of the best British music was made by people like this. now all we have are consumerist dullards.
>>130735285Mes has a level of genius though. Can't think of other artist that was that consistent through five decades releasing great albums. And his singular voice is proteic
>>130729554>>130729658Nobody reads anymore. That's why there are no great lyricists.
What do you think about the announcement of a new Fall album?
>>130729658>top 5 rock music lyricistsWhat are the other 4? Nick cave, and shane macgowan
>>130736858Mark AI Smith!
>>130736881>Nick cave, and shane macgowanLol no
>>130725077people are still doing the “Rollins is gay” meme? what year are we in..,
