    Default Johnny Marr: wrap him up in the News of the World

    Not sure if it's been posted on here today but Johnny Marr had a almost a full page thread in the News of the world newspaper today regarding his new band the cribbs . Also some references to the smiths and a pic of Morrissey and Marr included too .

    For those outside the UK the news of the world newspaper tabloid is one of the main sunday newspapers in the UK .

    I never bought it though but discovered the article by chance . perhaps someone else could find a link ?

    Decent paper. Good mix of facts and bollocks. Like this place. Read this article this morning- average read, nothing ground-breaking.

    And buy The Sun if you want. Good puzzle page.

    I'd much rather be compared to the crossword in The Sun than a model in Penthouse like you... a bald twat... I've got you there. I've done you. You've been framed, Juke.

    I believe Morrissey covered it on his tour of Scandinavia in 2006 but it didn't go down well with the crowd so he promised he would never sing it again!
    I thought he sang it quite well myself, it's a shame he didn't do it in the U.K. it may have had a better reception.

    Yes, I think he only sang it 3 times or so. I too, as a fan of Roxy, would love to have heard it live.

    I've only found this small pic. Unfortunately, you can't read the article.
    Johnny's blue like Violet Beauregarde.

    It's hellishly early here, and it took me about ten seconds to realise the picture in the bottom right corner wasn't Johnny striking a pose.

    A link and better picture of Mr. Marr.

    THE CRIBS Cheat On Me 8/10 Superficially, their first song with Johnny Marr is business as usual - all righteous fire and parched humanity. Then the dual guitars kick in, and its broader romance hits home. As special a partnership as could be hoped for.

    Agree with this. Can't be doing with all this boycotting of The Sun nonsense started off by our L'pool friends. I've seen many a scouser buy it on my travels west.

    'Good mix of facts and bollocks' Head, nail hit on.

    The Manchester Evening News is worse than the Sun. A more miserable, miserly hate filled rag, there is no other.
