Morrissey vs. NME update

Further to my post last night if you still have any doubt about the truth, who is doing the spinning and the NME's agenda please consider the following email sent to me by Tim Jonze the morning following his interview with Morrissey which he now portrays as "offensive." As you can see he was highly offended - only when he realized yesterday that IPC / NME might not employ him anymore due to his indiscretions!

Note the kisses!

Best wishes,

Hi Merck,

Was great to meet you yesterday. Interview was really good, I was
surprised how open and charming and humble Moz was. I'm sure you could
tell I was quite nervous, I'm a big fan. Anyway, you said that you
might have some guest list spare for tonight. So I was wondering if I
could get these on to the list for Friday (tonight), in order of
importance...

Guy Eppel
Alex Cisneros
Fiona Byrne

Guy shoots for NME and wondered if he could take pictures. I said I
had no idea but I would ask you if there was any chance of getting him
a photo pass. No worries if not. Fiona might be writing a news story
on the night for NME.com but if there's no spare tickets I can cover
that. If there's lots of spare tickets and you don't know what to do
with them, they'd all like plus ones but this might be stretching my
luck! Anyway, let me know what the deal is.
