Morrissey vs. the NME - true-to-you.net Morrissey's manager Merck Mercuriadis details the conflict between NME and Morrissey regarding the NME cover story on sale today. Included is communication from the NME editor Conor McNicholas and the original interviewer Tim Jonze, and also a scan of the lawyer letter sent to NME. Excerpt: ...When / if you read the interview, please look at the credits which are unique: Interview - Tim Jonze Words - NME When reading it we request that you think for yourself and consider what is question and answer and what is inflammatory editorial on the part of the NME which we assume can only be intended to create controversy to boost their circulation at the expense of Morrissey's integrity and for which no journalist is willing to be credited. It might as well say "anonymous." There is virtually no other artist with a more meaningful following across the history of the NME and it would appear that Mr. McNicholas thought the "new" NME could gain some credibility at Morrissey's expense. The story reads like a cynical exercise by yet another NME editor trying to put his name in the history books via a poorly thought out and terribly executed attempt at character assassination. As we all know, the NME does not speak for its readership, the artists do. Artists like Morrissey. The NME also does not speak for Morrissey. Anti-racist songs such as "Irish Blood, English Heart," "America Is Not The World" and "I Will See You In Far-Off Places" tell you the true measure of the man. Conor McNicholas made a decision for reasons known only to himself to betray our trust and make himself out to be a hero at Morrissey's expense. As you can see from the legal letter below, we will be unrelenting in our quest to bring him / NME to justice. By the way, the good news of the day is that Morrissey signed his new record deal with Polydor / Decca this afternoon! We will soon be scheduling new singles and albums for next year, but one thing you can count on not happening is a 7" cover mount on the eNeMEy! Sincerely, Merck Mercuriadis 28th November, 2007 PS We are also delighted to announce that the six Roundhouse shows have all sold out. Thank you all for your support! --- Related items:

Just popped over NME.com and saw the cover of the new issue with Moz on it giving us this, "I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth", kind of look.

“The gates of England are flooded. The country’s been thrown away”. Cover star Morrissey gives his most contentious interview in years.

There is an interview with Linder in the current edition of ID (with Cate Blanchett on the cover).
The most interesting Moz mention is with regard to '24 Hour Party People'. Linder says: 'I saw the original shooting script for 24 Hour Party People and Morrissey was portrayed as a fumbling Goth, indebted to Wilson for teaching him all that he knew about pop music. Is that how you sell out Madison Square Garden faster than the Beatles - as Morrissey has - I wonder?'

You may be aware that this morning, tickets for six London Morrissey gigs went on sale at 9am. Or you will be, when tonight's papers come out proclaiming the gigs as being the fastest-selling concerts since the guitar was invented...

My brother saw Morrissey at the bar/restaurant in my neighborhood on Friday night. I go there all the time! He ate at the restaurant with a crowd of people, and then my brother saw him outside. Guess what the bar's called? Delaney's....I'm bummed I missed it but what would I do- bother the poor man when he's trying to eat?
