Old news by now I suspect but just realised the farce of Morrisseysmum on Twitter seems to be at an end-
"Go to @ODyrbrm
@MorrisseysMum Nowhere (Fast)"
On instruction of lawyers,please note that anything tweeted here has nothing to do with the mother or any other family member of the...
Indeed. And in the current publishing climate without being pessimistic I'm not sure the odds are that great. But if you think it's really worth all the time and what little money would be left for you at the end of it after the writers/photographers get their cut then carry on and good luck!
In theory it sounds a nice idea, like a scrapbook for those who never did keep a scrapbook at the time.
The one aspect which does concern/puzzle me is what you say about clearance. Over the years I've met many people who work in the music press, both journalists and photographers, and one...
"Omnibus Press has declined to publish the book, and instead will consider putting out an expanded re-issue of a previously published Smiths book title to compete with Mr Fletcher's biography"

I agree. It's either in the Family or Religion/Catholicism(?) entry in the former you'll find the info about the alcoholic uncle. He died and it turned his parents away from the church or something like that.
The issue I and others have with his This Charming Man is that it's not the right chords as his band play it. Sorry if this sounds all muso but it's true.
They stay on the same verse chord for too long. When he sings "I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear", in the Smiths...
Attacking Morrissey for not being vegan is harsh considering all he has done for vegetarianism and animal rights. Veganism is the absolute ideal, the ultimate animal-free lifestyle. For whatever reasons, personal or practical, not everybody can achieve that ideal but to be vegetarian is ENOUGH...
