something tells me nme pulling out has nothing to do wth moz. But, either way it sure makes morrissey look great in the moz v nme issue.

can we have some tour dates please?

Maybe now all the Mozhaters ie NME/The Media with shut the fuck up about the Godlike Morrissey being raciest. Well done Morrissey, we the faithful always knew you were never raciest.

the NME is now pulling their support of the actual cause/issue over which they attacked Morrissey. Hypocritical wankers. But they probably can't afford it in view of the forthcoming legal expenses... :)

well done Moz!!

when it's convenient and financially viable for them, like when they can blast Moz and hope to sell more issues. But when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is, the Enemy is empty handed with hollow words.

Stop doing what your publicist orders you to do Morrissey. Along with your insincere support of Obama, I think you have done enough.

Why is he pounding so hard on the anti-racism key?

No sarcastic guess work (if you can), please - I'd like only to know if anyone one has pieces of missing information.

I love human history...

sic Anyway other new contributories include max moseley, Martin Amis and Garry Bushell. Rumours that Johannes Vorster will be appearing with a cricket bat are tbc. What about the seals?

Way to go moz!

Thanks.

Is the NME total shit or what? They won't give
Morrissey or the Smiths any of those lifetime achievement awards and now this. The NME sucks!

I thought morrissey was a racist who likes to eat at s.teak restaurants.
The real racists are all of the idiots on this site screaming at Morrissey for playing Israel
The Holocaust isn't over people

I am very proud to be a Morrissey fan after this. Of course Morrissey isn't a racist and to any sane person that was never in doubt.

This will indeed a historic event. I'll be there tomorrow, and if Moz stepping in has saved it - thank you Morrissey.

Now, the icing on the cake would be if he takes the stage for a surprise set tomorrow afternoon! :-)

This has got to be the final nail for NME's credibility. Just had a look at the mag in a supermarket this week and was fucking shocked! It was slimsy as anything and FULL of shite.
UK desperately needs a new music paper.

Give Jonze a dummy to shut him up!

Won't this send the message that Morrissey is not a racist? I always assumed he was. Why else would he hold a union jack, claim that England is losing some of it's identity, and write Bengali in Platforms? Obviously the work of a man with hatred in his veins.

If he turns out to be open minded or un-biased in any way, I'm burning all my T-shirts, centerfolds, posters, DVD's, videos, buttons, pins, patches, Cd's, Cassette's, LP's, singles and getting a new haircut!!!

Whether it's predictably offering up claptrap to his Latino fanbase, or conveniently backing an anti-racism concert, Morrissey's pandering comes across as ridiculously transparent.

This is the same guy who wouldn't play Live Aid because he thought that all of England's problems should be solved first (a common conservative line).

With the information age now upon him, and the Internet's ability to quickly put the heat on any flippant attitude, his tune has changed.

He wouldn't have felt the need to do such a thing in the past, but I'm sure that he is being provided strong council on such affairs.

Of course, his most gullible fans will perceive all of this with the utmost poignancy.

what a fantastic "stuff-you" by the Mozzer at NME! I bet they're biting their tongues over their right now.

assholes.

just sayin

bengali bitches

event, not "a" historic
Grammatically incorrect.
Shame on you.
lol.
Like much matters when the record company/promoters are on your back.
Sad.

espouse to find offensive.

Where do i end up then?
A council flat, or just flat out?

But hate music.

Dont we have a say in things anymore?

What happened to democracy?

Ended the night listening to "My Brother Jake"
Just seems to do the trick.

Must wake early to appear 200 miles away in a magistrates court for singing england for the english.
i know, you couldnt make it up.

Maybe Morrissey put in 200 quid of his own money and told his people to pay the rest. Not unreasonable as it was only another 74,800 pounds. Worth it for getting the headlines as a great guy, especially when he didn't pay it himself.

I suppose it's nitpicking really to say I wish he wouldn't bang on about it quite so much. I'm pleased, actually.

And, oh yes, looks like the last nail in the coffin for the NME.
