Description from Amazon.co.uk:

'The NME mattered to all those generations who grew up with music at the centre of their universe. The NME never had a truer chronicler than Pat Long.' Tony Parsons Since it was founded in 1952, the New Musical Express has played a central part in the British love affair with pop music. Snotty, confrontational, enthusiastic, sarcastic: the NME landing on the doormat every Wednesday was the high point of any music fan's week, whether they were listening to The Beatles, Bowie or Blur. The Sex Pistols sang about it, Nick Hornby claims he regrets not working for it and a whole host of household names - Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill, Nick Kent and Mick Farren, Steve Lamacq and Stuart Maconie - started...

A sort of update on this, not sure if it's news-worthy in itself. From an interview with Sandie in today's Metro newspaper (commuter newspaper in the UK):

Sandie Shaw on Eurovision, Bonnie Tyler and Morrissey - Metro

Metro: Are you still pals with Morrissey?

Sandie Shaw: Is anyone? I don’t know what goes on in the man’s mind nowadays. Although I didn’t when I worked with him.

Thought you would like to know that Morrissey's "Nobody Loves Us" came in at #1 of this list of the 100 Most Underrated Indie Rock Songs - Mandatory. "Wonderful Woman" came in at #38.

Thanks for your time!

Yeah, they would just pull a Sex Pistols. Or at least Morrissey would. Marr might actually show up.

in the April 18th episode of Charlie Sheen's "Anger Management" entitled "Charlie and Lacey Piss Off the Neighborhood" Selma Blair's character says she didn't go to prom because she was "smoking pot with Morrissey at the Roxy"

huh?? the show has writers who know enough to reference Morrissey but at the same time know so little about him that this reference would work to them?
