A Moment In Time N.M.E, 6th July 1985 - # 6 The Letters Page

 


We used to write letters back in thise days. I still have a drawer of them in my desk for the moments that I feel wistless.

This weeks collection, edited by Matt Snow is a good example of what went on week after week. Jusr inside the back cover. A cross letter to Paul Weller accusing him of lacking commitment and engagement in a Style Council live show. Selling the auduence short. Hevy handed bouncer approach.

A number more angry types having a pop at Weller and Socialism. A turade against Bruce Springsteen. Some more back and forth about him. He's made a donation to the miner's cause.Onto Lana Pellay an LGBT perfirmer recently featured. Much political rage. An interesting window on a highly politicl decade when a lot seemed on the line. Isn't it always?
