What I...
An odd thing was happening, which is that baggy, in spiral carpets, Happy Mondays had all petered out.
The Stone Roses had disappeared.
In fact, we did one little small piece where we demonstrated that it took longer for the Stone Roses to make their second album than it took to start and win the Second World War.
And as I pointed out, and also the Stone Roses album caused more human misery.
But...
It was a lean period, an exceedingly lean period.
Yes, it was.
But it was good for me and also the little team that we'd assembled, which included you and people like Adam Higginbotham and Clark Collis and various other people.
And also great people we'd inherited, like Andy Perry.
Wonderful Andy Perry has just passed away.
We loved a lot.
He was an absolute genius.
But it made us get good at doing magazines.
So when the main event, the two main events arrived, which were Nirvana and Britpop, we had kind of honed our skills and we could get our teeth into it.
Yeah.
For me, it was like, I'd read it as a student.
I used to read the NME every week, Smash Hits every two weeks and Q every month, right?
And I wanted this magazine to be as fun, colourful, exciting, funny and stupid as Smash Hits, as on the ball as the NME, but not as kind of up its own bum, really.
The NME was really very proud of itself.
