Here's a letter I emailed to Melody Maker on 13th Aug 1998. And they actually printed it in their 29th Aug issue!!! If you follow the links here, you can see the piccies I was complaining about!!!! Which is just as well, because you probably wouldn't understand this letter otherwise!!!
If you just came here by way of a search, you can find out more in issue 7 of the ezine Senior Citizen!!!

Dear Melody Maker....
Bllleeeuurrghaaarrgghh!!!
That was me just reading Melody Maker Aug 15 1998!!!(1) I had a very nice
lunch at the cafe down the road, and I've now just lost it due
to the insensitivity of your photo editors in assembling the most unnerving
collection of "images" ever seen in a single publication!!!!! Including:
Like the Kylie song, I'm "Shocked"!!!!!!!! (3)
Yours blah blah,
Old Fart!

Was this a complex ruse to make the Mansun
photos look reasonable by comparision!??! If so, it's succeeded!!! But only by
turning MM into the rock music journalism equivalent (5)
of "Saving Private Ryan"!!!!!!
