The crowning achievement of Morrissey’s career? Maybe not, but if anything puts you at the pinnacle of pop perfection that anything would be David Bowie covering your song and for Morrissey, called into the Imperial Studio for a listening party with Bowie, Morrissey had that moment
ever before has the man in the middle of the madness written so well about being in the middle of the madness; Morrissey puts you front and center as wild hordes of American teens go insane, tearing off his shirt, and another shirt and another shirt and while anyone else would revel or despair in it, Morrissey feels slighted because they are ignoring this insanity in the UK
From Morrissey to Mel theres always a guy willing to croon. But when you add Childish Gambino and A$AP Rocky there could well be a knife fight and my money is on them.
Explosions – Chanel West Coast – Probably the best song off her mix tape, the beats are awesome, little explosions in the middle of the song, a systematic banging and her tone is agressive enoough for chick hop – B+
why would Morrissey choose not to discus his sex life in any detail in an autobiography? I mean, if Moz was in a serious homosexual relation for years on end, what songs did he write about it? Why reveal if only to conceal, if you don’t want to write about yourself, for fucks sake don’t write about yourself, but what price prudish concealment?
Morrissey had stated, “He has been there all of my life. He will always be pressed to my heart. Thank God for those, like Lou, who move within their own laws, otherwise imagine how dull the world would be.”
I cant imagine how challenging working for Morrissey must be. The show cancellations alone must drive the band nuts. Meat free venues? Vegetarian tours? You must have to have an amazing loyalty to your art to put up with such shenanigans
THREE glorious songs in Oslo Norway. I would actually pay to see him sing three songs. What wonderful news, he is singing. Despite his never ending cancellations the ol’ man is hitting the stage and I am thrilled since this obviously leads to the inevitable ‘will he do more dates’.
“Although I have previously felt enraged by the asininity of U.S. congressman Paul Ryan, and political fluffhead Sarah Palin – both of whom also kill beings for fun, there is something especially lamentable about the Bachman smile of pride as the lion”
One of his closest friends dies in a car wreck, another from cancer, on visits to his sister in the US nothing stems the depression so great Morrissey is nearly comatose and he can’t even get a part time job at “Targets”.
I loved glam as well, and essentially the same bands as well: T-Rex, Bowie, Roxy, Mott -you know the rolecall. And Moz writes about them with all the positive passion where until then the passion was seriously negative. 80 pages in and I’m loving it.
“I really don’t understand how someone who was a fan of Moz couldn’t like this version. It’s beautiful and sounds like a song he would’ve written in the first place. His flawlessness takes a mediocre song by a mediocre man to a brilliant song sung by a legend.”
Reed is referencing “Slippin’ And Slidin'” -in an album of sexual transformation, in a song that is a signal post, Reed draws right back on his rock and roll roots. Morrissey’s change of the line is cultural vandalism.
I plan to mine Morrissey’s “Autobiography” for every post I can get and through the first 50 pages, documented every song he mentioned! So with no further ado, the first 10 songs that formed a Smith!
Whether Morrissey shall turn out to be the hero of his own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, this post must show.
I contacted my sister Nadia in Scotland and she is forwarding Helen and I our own copies!!! Till then, that isn’t why he is a winner, Morrissey he is a winner because the bio outsold Bridget Jones Diary to take first place on the UK bestseller list.
Maladjusted – Morrissey – “On this glorious occasion of this splendid defeat…” Morrissey’s mid-career masterpiece was the opening track that seems to get lost in the shuffle – A
Excerpts and photo’s leaking proclaim that the book is full of snarky Morrissey-isms and really who would expect anything less? Youre giving the ultimate self loathing narcissist (hell yes that can exist!) a pen and a book deal and I’m surprised it’s not in volumes.
See it’s OK to find mankind repugnant cuz they are. It’s OK to sleep with whom you please because you’re human and you have options. Hate the Royals, Hate meat eaters, Love thyself, Loathe thyself, Primp thyself.
Cool, right? And funny and kinda accurate because Lauren knows what children understand, Morrissey is two parts Charlie, one part Lucy, and the rest of the band are all Linus
there was some speculation as to my sexuality. What was it? Where did I keep it? I can say now that the whole idea is obscene, as a devout vegetarian. I would not have sexual intercourse with a pig or a chicken. Why, then, should I wish to do so with a man or a woman, since human beings and animals are equal?
