I've just sat and leafed through the latest copy of NME and I'm realising that I was either deluded as a youth or young and impressionable or, alternatively, as I suspect, the NME has plumbed new depths.
I'm thinking that the latter is the most likely. It seems to me that in an attempt to continue it's existence, both physically and in terms of relevancy, the NME has decided to forsake integrity for sensationalism and its own twisted idea of what's cool. A classic case of substance being sacrificed for style and money - let's face it, it's not a non-profit publication!
I would love to be wrong and be shown that a war is raging against the establishment but, until I see evidence otherwise, I will be resigned to the idea that the NME is battling to remain a part of the established order that it should be looking to overthrow. Maybe the NME is now the establishment that is being over thrown.
The King is dead, long live the King.
