An anonymous person writes: If you get the Evening Standard, you will see a funny bit on Liam Gallagher from Oasis talking about the best front men of all time. When asked about Mozza as a great front man, Liams says:
"Yeah, he's a real bird that one. I saw'm in LA when we was doing "The Truth" LP, and I felt I was watchin me uncle, sports coat and all singing tunes around the piano. Noel loves him, for me, he is for the blokes, if ya know what I mean"
Anyways, I thought that was a classic bit.
When asked about Marr, Liam had two words:
"Fookin Class".

Brighton Rich writes: I found this little horror in todays Guardian Newspaper, in an interview with UK 'pop' star - Will Young. This is the first section - I could not bear to read anymore. 'I'm a very strange pop star' - The Guardian Will Young was so freaked by fame he started an essay on the subject. So how does he feel about his gay icon status - and being tipped as an artist worthy of Robbie's throne? He talks to Caroline Sullivan Friday November 4, 2005 'Even as a gay, you need manliness'...Will Young. Will Young is in a pop quandary. He has been asked to record a Christmas song for Radio 2, which, being an obliging sort, he's happy to do. The problem is that he's no longer the tame Pop Idol winner who could be counted on to do his bit for the collective jollity. "I hate Christmas songs," he says passionately. "I don't want to do something naff."
His publicist, one of the small retinue who are accompanying him on a day of TV and radio promotion, says, half-seriously, "What about Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, by the Smiths?" He raises his eyebrows. "How does it go?" The publicist happens to have it on her iPod, which she hands over. It doesn't take more than 30 seconds of Morrissey in solipsistic yowl for Young to be converted. He passes back the iPod, all stubbly smiles. And so, unless his management objects, Young's contribution to Radio 2's Yuletide output will be Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - albeit in his own lightly-toasted R&B style.

Maurice E writes: David Walliams (one half of massively popular UK comedy sketch show 'Little Britain') and Lee Mack (rising stand-up comedian/new host to They Think It's All Over) have recently given their views on Moz...
David Walliams (in this week's NME) was asked 'Did any musicians inspire you?'
"Morrissey, definitely. As a lyricist he had an incredible use of words. His reference points are interesting as well. He's creating poetry out of the everyday. Thet's the greatest achievement from Morrissey or Philip Larkin. They're not singing about the ocean or the moon-it's about where they live."
Lee Mack (in Metro, admittedly a while back)
"I'm a big fan of Morrissey from the Smiths days and I think he's growing up quite gracefully. 'The First of the Gang' has got some great lyrics in it like 'You have never been in love, until you've seen the dawn rise, behind the home for the blind'. But the main reason I listen to it is to get me in the mood for a gig when I need some energy. I put this on and just jump around."

JacquesTheLad writes: Scanning the boring websites of the day, I came across this story concerning Sanctuary: Morrissey's label is miserable now - Accountancy Age, Nov. 3 Basically, this could have serious implications on Sanctuary's ability to continue as a viable operation. Might be an idea not to get your hopes up on the latest album just yet...
