We’ve had some angry emails from people who misread a story in a Sydney newspaper yesterday. So let’s set things straight. This story started with the writer saying he wished there was more rivalry among musicians. He then listed about ten completely fabricated quotes that he WISHED various musicians said. If you read his piece carefully he did say that all the quotes were completely invented. However, if you read his story quickly (as many people did) then you might have thought Missy was dissing the legendary Powderfinger (and vice versa). Missy has never done this. If you could please pass this news along to anyone who tells you otherwise then that would be much appreciated. Thanks and please stop sending us emails about this!
