That piece was actually in Sundays Mail on Sunday and to be honest i think Marting Glover is an egotistical ****er, you read that article and count how many times he states that "writers" are "heros" ???? Oh look, might that be becasue he is one ..... Writers are no different to footballers, the majority of them are mediocre at best, produce dross to fill newspapers and mags and like footballers dwell on their "minor celebrity" ... But there are a handful of writers that genuinely touch peoples lives, prooduce works of literary genius and communicate with their readers at a level that others can only dream of, these people inspire, encourage and support, they show the way, they represent something ....
Thats what George Best did as a footballer ....
If Martin Glover were a footballer he'd be a an average journeyman that maybe made the headlines once in a blue moon .....
And as for being a sheep ... please, learn some manners.
There are plenty of people out there intelligent enough to know whether they can formulate their own opinions without media intrusion or influence, so don't tarnish everyone.
