Morrissey articles in NME (30th September)
posted by davidt on Thursday September 26 2002, @07:00AM

 Sleepy lifeguard writes:

Two articles in the current NME. One relates to the near riot following Morrissey's shirt throwing at the first Royal Albert Hall concert on Tuesday 17th. It also quotes his comments on how he must be doing something right not to have been offered a recording contract in England. It also mentions that BBC 6music are set to broadcast a new studio session in the week beginning October 7.

The second article is a spoof on how according to new European leglislation a Smiths reformation would be impossible since under this apparent leglislation all the band members would have to actually be called Smith. It supposedly relates to the fact that Europeans would feel cheated if the band they had paid to see or whose records they bought were not actually what the name suggests, ie the surname of each band member was not Smith. The article claims that Germans whose name was Schmidt could in fact play in the band.

    I can see the reunion coming!! (Score:1)
    All we need to do is to find for lovely ladies with the surname "Smith" who are ready to marry the four blokes and make the band members adopt their wives' names!

    Hmmm ... the NME (Score:3, Insightful)
    Well, I for one will never forget the way the NME treated Morrissey in the Your Arsenal period. They will never be forgiven. I'm not usually one for boycotts, but I'll never touch this rag again, and I wish Morrissey wouldn't either.

    NME exposure. (Score:1)
    Any exposure is good exposure, even if as Morrissey himself has mentioned there will not be an offer from England. I am just glad that there is some interest in him while he has new songs and no record deal. I will welcome a comeback assuming it hasn't already started, whatever publication promotes it.
