Drinking / Video / #1 Fan The Fall: "Reformation": Or How Drunk Is Mark E. Smith?

Posted by on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 2:59 PM

I love The Fall (Mark E. Smith), and I just found this video, and even though it's like a million years old in internet years, I thought I'd share it. Mark looks a little tipsy. Also, are the first lyrics to this song "Black people/full motel/cheesesteaks/TLC"? Genius.


How drunk is Mark E. Smith in this video?

Mark E. Smith is awesome!

Lyrics correction, however: http://fall.byethost13.com/lyrics.html

"Black River" not, "Black People"

Thanks for sharin-ah!

Q: As long as Mark E. Smith breathes can the Fall actually break up or reform? His back up band is like Menudo.
