John Robb in his review of the Stone Roses at Dublin mentions Mozzer.

Mentions Morrissey responded to an advert to sing in a band with Mick Jones (pre-Clash). That's news to me.

Also Mentions Vince Taylor, David Bowie, and the fabulous Pete Wylie (Imperfect List).

Read the Lyon review and there's stuff about Cantona too.

Last year Bobby Gillespie sit for Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service on BBC 6Music, Bobby interviewed Mick Jones.
Mick said that Morrissey responded his ad on Melody Maker, they spoke on the phone, but never met in person.

I'm sure the NY Dolls reference got Morrissey interested.

BTW Robb's review of the Manchester gig is a right good read in my opinion.

Good photos too.

Morrissey would have been 15 and living in a different city .

National Front Disco is about Joe Strummer's brother, IMO.

John Nob, is the worst kind of freeloading talentless failed musician turned journalist/ critic I have ever witnessed making money off the back of other peoples success.

He always pops up on the radio or in the press or anywhere that will let him hear the sound of his own voice giving his "forthright controversial" opinions on anything related to punk or Madchester, like a man stuck in a perpetual midlife crisis. (I should know cos I am too.)

His review of the Manchester show is quite easy to write when you have a press pass and don't pay over £50 to get in to miss the first 5 songs and barely see the main man cos he's too tight-fisted to put up video screens.

As for his Stone Roses aficionado wa he not their publicist at some point?

The bloke is a prize Pillock

So basically you'd have preferred his review of the gig if he'd missed part of it?
