Bruce’s Zoom…

Posted on October 9, 2016 By Priptona No Comments on Bruce’s Zoom…

On Thursday night I ended up in a Twitter conversation with Bruce Findlay, prompted by my sharing of this clipping from the NME from May 13th, 1989, from the “letters” section. I said in the initial tweet: Received a bunch of old editions of the NME today. Spied this in the back of one.


Bruce was very lovely in reply. The rest of the conversation follows. As with how tweeting can be, some tweets get a little out of order, but I hope it can be followed.





Of course, the open letter from SM in Sounds magazine is something I posted here a few weeks ago. Search and you shall find.
