NME discussion

[Deleted member 29417]

‘But the fact both men felt the need to comment suggests they knew there might always be the risk of what tonight’s show eventually proves – this is the best Smiths gig since December 12t 1986, when Morrissey and Marr last took the stage together, and possibly boasts one of the best Smiths live setlists ever.‘

- NME

The NME are loathsome. May their print edition rot in hell & their metrics wither.

I can't remember what thread this came up on but, here's a press cutting to back up the point I was making that their homophobic lie about Madstock caused Morrissey's current demonisation.

Bastards.

I'm absolutely f***ing raging about it.

They've had time to update since Morrissey's statement but they're choosing to cite Fiona to keep their stinking narrative alive.

What are you raging about?

That the NME lied about Morrissey in 1992 & have continued to reinforce the lie.

None of this would have happened if they didn't think he was gay.

He would have had more faith in mainstream media for a start - but also journalists wouldn't have scrutinised & twisted his words & would have noticed that he is overwhelmingly obsessed with animals & dislikes authority.

So the review annoyed me.

Not sure what the lie was Nerak and I'm not sure what your talking about - "if they didn't think he was gay"

Er...I don't think anybody is sure here...

In the name - they falsely accused him of racism as a way of attacking his sexuality a month after Channel 4 had broadcast a documentary about gay skinhead culture in which Skrewdriver's roadie & ex National Front organiser, Nicky Crane, had come out as gay.

Music journalist playing the psychoanalyst, stirring up shit. Sickening.

It’s a daily competition between Ket and Nerak to see who’s the more delusional lunatic re: Morrissey.

I hope I’m winning?! Anything that
triggers you and Surf.... the pleasure is all mine.


don’t be Verso, things will get better for ya.

I find it all a bit odd, all my mates and myself were massivley into Morrissey back then and I can't remember any outrage amongst Morrissey fans at the time?

These things have been documented & discussed, so you just sound like a troll.

They didn't have social media to work themselves into a frenzy - but this was working its way through the media.

It's in the press cuttings.

Documented and discussed in the elaborate fantasy of your mind, untethered from anything that we on earth would call “real.”

I remember reading it, but most people I knew just said whatever. As I mentioned before, it didn't harm his career at all, his albums sold more and the venues got bigger post the article.

You're either not very bright or you're hanging on to the hope I'll fight with you on here.

I don't care about your trolling.

I’m not interested in fighting with you, I just think you need to do everyone a favor and stop trying to push this absurd theory that Morrissey’s entire racism narrative comes out of media outlets being angry about his homosexuality. There’s no one who thinks you’re onto something except for Ket, who’s so damaged that she (like you) would believe anything that lets Morrissey off the hook for some of the things he’s said. It’s fan fiction.

Think of the NME lie in 1992 as where the fuse was lit & the BBC 6 concert in 2017 as where the bomb exploded.

That's why the hack sees it as the root of all controversy.

Because every time they do a bit of prep for a story on him - there it is - putting a question mark over him that shouldn't be there.
