    Andrew Collins and Morrissey

    Listen, I'm glad I came here. It's been fascinating, and infuriating, to follow this dialogue. I knew already, but this further proves, that you are passionate people. And boy, do you love Morrissey. (Although I love music, I can honestly say that I don't love any single artist or band as much...

    Andrew Collins and Morrissey

    If you're bored of talking about my "lack of backbone" imagine how bored I am of hearing it! Nobody told me what to say. I was the features editor of the paper, and once the decision had been made to write a new cover story, I was among the senior staff that knuckled down to produce it. Let's...

    I can't win, then, can I? If I try to engage, I'm "blowing it up" out of all proportion. If I remain silent, it's an admission of guilt, it seems. The only reason I originally made the detailed comparison between the two stories is that a couple of Morrissey fans compared them on a previous blog...

    Thank you for doing all this research on me - it's very flattering that you'd go to the bother! - I'd forgotten reviewing this. Never did much like that song.

    No. It was not.

    It wasn't our "tune", and we made no "demands." We invited him to come to the table and speak to us, but - unlike on previous occasions - he declined. No "capitulation" required. Sorry if my account of events seems mundane. Your words make it all sound so much more dramatic!

    I made only kind comments about Kingmaker. I fear you have the wrong man.

    Very good. But you'd have to ask Morrissey why he smiled when he'd have much rather kicked us in the eye? For the sake of his career? I hope not. He's above all that, isn't he?

    Thanks for being so calm and reasoned in your response. Why do I think it's important that Morrissey bore no grudge against those instrumental in compiling the cover story that caused him to boycott the NME? Because it demonstrates a level of magnanimity that runs counter to the grudge borne...

    Blimey, it's going to be harder than I thought to cut through all the hate. Maybe I over-estimated how objective I could be. As for the old comments from Momus somebody has dug up - when he says Morrissey "cut the NME dead" because of Danny Kelly's "partisanship" for Marr - this would lead...

    Andrew Collins and Morrissey

    I wonder if somebody might answer me this question. Morrissey chose to boycott the NME after the August 1992 issue. He kept up this boycott for 15 years - an admirably committed stance. However, when Danny Kelly, Stuart Maconie and myself moved to Q magazine (Danny and Stuart in 1992, myself...

    Andrew Collins and Morrissey

    Before you crow, I have taken down my recent blog post about Morrissey, as the debate playing out in the comments section was becoming unmanageable (you have reproduced much of it here anyway). Let's start again. I have decided to do the honorable thing and enter the dialogue here. (I have...
