41. I would be careful about claiming to be Mark E Smith these days...
I saw The Fall last week on their "Let's Soak The States While Coasting On Our Reputation Tour" I got in free and I certainly got my money's worth. An absolutely pathetic performance.
I would say that they were just going through the motions, but there was very little motion...

19. Funny you should mention that, because,
in all seriousness, I am a very, very distant cousin of Mr. Lynott himself, and that also happens to be my last name (I've mentioned that on here before, and I am NOT KIDDING!!!!)

50. No, I swear to
God, I am NOT kidding! I remember when I first heard of him, I was in 8th grade and I just couldn't believe that someone from a famous rock band had my last name when all of maybe 500 people in the entire U.S., if that, had it and I'd never before known anyone outside my family with the same name, let alone someone well-known.

I LOVE Phil Lynott. A black Irishman, playing bass with a pick, singing like Van Morrison, fronting a kick-ass metal band: what could be better than that?!
