Someone I once worked with used to get NME and I'd swap MM with him. His copy of NME used to stink. This has made an everlasting impression and I still can't bring myself to buy it.

Besides, MM was always streets ahead with it's coverage of underground music.

but yes, as we all know the MM kicked arse in the early '90s.

His contempt for George Harrison and all his works in that book was bracing. RIP Roy.

Trying to remember his line about "Yesterday," I think it was "Schmaltz rears its ugly head again with this one" or something like that
