Glad to hear this.

My friend is a violinist and was touring with Charlotte Gainsborough. They were in Paris the same time as Moz the last time he played there and Charlie Browne (who was friends with whoever their tour manager was) gave all the musicians rather nice passes into Moz's show.

Big deal. Morrissey has a DVD and a book to sell. Is he playing approachable again? Perfect timing, as always.

That would be Charlotte Gainsbourg, dear. Gainsborough is a painter. They're not related, to my knowledge.
Interestingly, Gainsbourg wished to be a painter, but thought he wasn't good enough, so he turned to a "minor art": songwriting.
Unlike Hitler, he wasn't bitter about it. Ah, If only Adolf had decided to sing instead...

And no doubt, that Charlie Brown(e) is a good egg.

A big nose etc.

...And just so you can show off at parties CG, Gainsborough is mentioned in a Gainsbourg song.

Lol. If only I was invited to more parties. Kidding, I hate parties.

Morrissey's tour manager is called Charlie Brown.

P.

Morrissey's tour manager is Donnie Knutson. He was pictured holding a blue rose at Morrissey's performance on The Late Show. Surely you must know that?

So according to this, the take down notice was made at the behest of Johnny Marr.

(Personally this comes as no surprise to me. I always thought he was a bit of a penis.)

Whilst Johnny could be behind the take-down attempt, I find it pretty unlikely. If someone was chopping up bits of his music and slapping it around the internet maybe - but it's Morrissey's words, so why should he care one way or another? It was probably just some bean counter at Universal.

This l'OO'ks like a MASSIVE two fingers up to Johnny from Moz. He is basically saying, 'they are MY words, NOT yours, and I will decide where they can or can't be used'. Good for Moz. If anybody should ever wish to put the words to 'Messenger' to a cartoon strip, then let Johnny throw his weight around then... but somehow, I doubt it will happen.

*Goes off singing* Who wants to be a messenger? Who wants to be a messenger? Who wants to be a messenger?

Yours awesomely,

So basically you are telling me that you know people who know People and that you're constantly not using your connections to get free drinks in bars and be on guestlists at bar mitzvahs?

Can you, like me, hear the Blue Nose Society's collective FRANKLY DISGUSTED moan? lol.

What's to be done with you CG. Honestly.

By the way, on a symbolic level, have you noticed your initials are the same as CG's?

Those comics are wonderful. They made my day!

If Morrissey's words were going to be in any comic. Snoopy and Charlie Brown would definitely be the one that fits

I LOVE This Charming Charlie. When there was danger of it being taken down, I saved many to my computer. I'm glad they are here to stay. Keeping Charlie brown comics vibrant and Smiths' music alive is a win-win situation!

Agreed, I did similar.
I'm pleased it will continue and that some sense prevailed.
Kudos to the lawyers too as the humour level in their communication with Universal is subtle but sharp.
Glad this didn't result in a 'good grief'.

Why would anyone care to know that?
