“The Present Owner: M-Word. (My Trip to Morrissey’s House)” - THE FUTURE Magazine

Excerpt:

I don't own a cell phone. I never have. Talking on a phone is one of my least favorite things to do. And it's not often I find myself in an emergency where I need a phone. I have no need or want of a cell phone. Plus I'm slightly nauseated by the obsession with them. They're everywhere. The world is drunk on cell phones. What the fuck are you people all talking about? There is absolutely nothing I have to say to anyone that can't wait a couple hours ‘til I get home and can make a call on my “land line.” And besides my house catching on fire, or something of equally disastrous proportions, there is nothing anyone can say to me that is so important that it can't be left as a message on my answering machine. I will listen to the message and “I will get back to you as soon as I can,” as most people say on their outgoing message. Although, I do not say that on my outgoing message. But as I stood in the sunny cul de sac outside of Morrissey two-million-dollar house off of Sunset Blvd. waiting for his realtor to arrive to show us the house, I suddenly realized it was one of those rare instances I needed a cell phone. As a prop. I figured I might look better if I were on a cell phone. It would be more authentic. You know, like I was a hot shot Hollywood millionaire wheeling and dealing or whatever it is they do on their cell phones. “Hold on, lemme call you back. I have to look at this fucking mansion or something, God.” Because that's what I was supposed to be: a hot shot Hollywood millionaire interested in buying Morrissey's house.

      What a foul language this guy speaks. I guess I have to enroll in a dirty language course to brush up my skills. Nicest pick: his trousers open, with him literally pissing in the toilet. Makes up for a tremendous slide show, I'm impressed. I just don't want to see him in the shower... I don't think I can handle this form of art yet.

          I got a little creeped out when I read that the guy touched the toilet seat and got excited about the thought that Morrissey's butt was there.

          I guess I shouldn't talk because I asked to touch another dude's hand when I was 17 because he said he touched Morrissey at Irvine Meadows the night before.

          Next time, use the piece of TP and wipe the seat.

                I enjoyed the article. (Score:1)
                Okay, the dude's language is a little fruity, but as a Dagenham girl, it's not something I am unused to and it does seem rather fashionable to pepper one's prose with obscenities these days.

                I thought it was quite an amusing story, though I wouldn't have necessarily been so excited by the thought of defecating in the toilet had I been in his place. I can't imagine any of us would have turned down the opportunity to visit the former house of Morrissey, and I was very pleased to note he listed the other occupants of the house too - at least he bothered to do his research.

                I visit a lot of houses, I belong to The National Trust. Houses retain an element of character from each owner, but generally only when furniture has been left behind. The discovery of the rusty cat thing in the garden was exciting - it probably did belong to Moz, and the crest would be a fantastic bit of historical architecture.

                Instead of slating the guy, I salute his bravado for going there.

                And as for peeing over the toilet - it made me laugh. We need to remember, Morrissey hasn't set foot in that house for quite a long time now, so he wont exactly care, and so what if he spelt the name wrong?

                We need to take our heads out of our behinds once in a while (to let the sun out) and realise, Morrissey is only human, people spell my name wrong all the time but I don't call them a moron for doing it!

                Can't we just learn to laugh at ourselves a little more?

                    Morrissey left L.A. in 2005, so if this article is fairly recent that would mean the house hasn't sold in over 2 years of being on the market. Maybe that hot-shot realtor isn't as great as he thinks he is...

What most caught my attention in the article was the view of the outside from the shower. Had I known this before, I would have been lurking in the bushes, popping my head out to catch a glimpse of Mozzy's naked body. Now that will never happen.

                                      Cheers to a well written, droll, naughty, filthy, good-humored, allusive, and playful article. Author Dave Carnie writes brilliantly; he has an sharp style that just happens to indulge in silly scatological toying -- which, delightfully, takes the piss (hee hee) out of over-serious fans and moribund detractors alike.

                                      The article does exactly what it means to do: irreverently and lovingly approaches Morrissey (and his relics) with a fresh eye. It’s not the usual panegyric, nor the usual slander. It’s a bauble, and an intelligent one.

                                      And for those who believe themselves above general naughtiness -- know that your idol (and mine) has done much over the years for the causes of sexual debauchery, unexpected cursing, and the joy of filth. Critics, please grow up and be immature.
