Dunno, but I bet '24 Hour Party People' is spinning on his DVD and that his favorite Tony Wilson line is this: "If you have to choose between truth and legend - choose the legend".

I'm not sure why...but for some reason, I can't trust his list.

Jayson, you should tell everyone you're a huge Black Oak Arkansas fan. That'd be amusing.
