When Morrissey sang "I bear more grudges than lonely high court judges" on his 1994 hit "The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get" he certainly wasn't joking. Since the New Music Express alleged that his views on immigration could be construed as a little bit racist the fun hasn't stopped. First came the threats of legal action, then there was the Love Music, Hate Racism business, now if Moz has his way, NME editor Connor MacNicholas is going to find it hard to find a place to sleep in Los Angeles.
Apparently the warring factions were booked into the same L.A. hotel on the same night, someone had a few words and MacNicholas found himself without a room. Moz's people are more than happy to admit that they pulled a few strings to get the hack ejected. Merck Mercuriadis, Morrissey's
spokesperson:
"I have a very good relationship with the hotel, and when I explained the situation they agreed it would not be appropriate for Conor to stay."
Unfortunately, for Morrissey, MacNicholas given a better suite at a better hotel as way of an apology. Let's chalk this one up as a no score draw, aye lads?
