He covered a lot of stuff, and I wasn't interested in the big names as I already knew I found them dull. I was at school during most of his time there and had started taking the music papers a little more seriously. It was reading Chris' American coverage, far more interesting than anything anyone was writing in Britain, that made the Maker my favourite paper. That in turn ensured it was the paper I wanted to write for. Weird to think I also wrote a book for him, although I guess Omnibus was the only real player in the game.
Hi Mick, thanks for the comment and observation. You have just enough age on me to be aware of Chris's US coverage, I bought MM very occasionally during his tenure in the US, like maybe once a year. He will be glad to read your comment I'm sure.
