Shocked and devastated upon hearing the tragic news. Mani's basslines soundtracked my boyhood. Our boyhood. When he joined The Stone Roses, he was the missing piece that made their star shine. He brought the funk and the groove to their psychedelic indie dance rock 'n' roll. He was a Manchester music icon and a passionate lifelong Red. He died on the honest side of history, unlike so many others. He was a massive talent and a top Red, both in football and political terms. A proper geezer and a working class hero. Safe travels motherfucker.

About me
Dad of three Handsome Devils. Garage Punk Pounders, Soul Stompers, Punk Rock 'n' Roll Stormers, Greasy R&B, Funky Sizzlers and Mod Freakbeat fuzzters (mostly)! Grown Up Wrong in the 90s, hooked with the grooves of Acid Jazz and Madchester's Baggy scene. A lot of Indie Pop jangles too. Reverend in the Church of Venerated Saint Johnny Thunders. In love with shakin' maracas, tambourines and wailin' farfizas. Little Richard was the King & Queen of Rock'n'Roll. The first Punk Rocker was a gay blackman from Macon, GA. FUCK YOU! Subvert normality, Kill All Hippies. Antifascist/antiracist/antisocial/anti-stupid.
