Alan McGee quits stuff... compares himself to Tony Wilson... likes records

Mcgee Y'all know who Alan McGee is right? Well, he's called last orders on his music career. How do we know? We, everyone missed it and now we're all relying on hearsay because apparently, he did it via a Facebook update. How modern!

Speaking to BBC 6 Music, he said: "It was on my Facebook. My status said: 'Glad I'm not a manager any more, I really recommend it.'"

He continued: "I stopped doing the record company about a year or two ago because I think they're pointless things, like dinosaurs or trams or something. I think I'm a man of the times, kind of like Tony Wilson really. We don't really have a place in the music industry anymore because we actually like music. I think the prerequisite for being in the music industry is not liking music and playing the corporate game, agreeing with your boss." Y'know, we like a ranter... but I know loads of ace people in the music industry who love music more than anything, all working at tiny little labels. Fact alert - not everyone is a cock in the music industry Alan... unless you surround yourself with them.
