The Mojo awards. It looks very different from yesterday. The ceiling's been lit, it's a giant Rubens mural (I only know this 'cos Mick Jones of the Clash pointed it out in his speech). A very nice vibe. I still have to do the shot in the library. Set it up and watch the awards with Jimmy Page on his table. He's also got his daughter Scarlet and son James with him, plus his bodyguard Wilf (this is a joke).
Pathetically the only person in the building with one is Morrissey and an entourage of Sanctuary minions who follow him looking at the floor. He gets an award, says one word and leaves with his disciple's. Phil Alexander (editor) is furious, "I'm gonna ask for it back! I didn't realise we were giving out the cunt award today"... Everyone I thought would be difficult were easy, James Brown (I had to call him Mr Brown), Sting, Roger Daltry, Arthur Lee, Marian Faithfull, Delroy Wilson etc... eeeeeasy. They did whatever I asked. Sting even asked to take a picture of me with my camera. The RHC Peppers were in awe, John (the guitarist) was visibly shaking as he read out a speech about Jimmy Page. Enjoyed it, must go to more events like this.
