"Portrait Of The Artist As A Consumer" (NME, 1983)
posted by davidt on Thursday December 21 2000, @09:30AM

Going through some old mail I found this list of Films, Symbolists, Records and Books sent by an old fan and friend, Dominic Sidell. I had never seen it and I'm sure most people haven't either, so I put them on a web page and included some related links I found around the web. I'll go back into my archive and see if I find any more of these lists. Going back 17 years, to Sept. 1983, this must be one of the first.

Morrissey - "Portrait Of The Artist As A Consumer" - NME, Sept. 17, 1983

As usual, check "The Arcane Old Wardrobe" if you're interested in archived Morrissey and Smiths material.

UPDATE (Dec. 21) - torr sends the link to his list of every movie that has directly influenced Moz's lyrics.

    Who knew Morrissey was such a fan of Bea Arthur?

        Leave Morrissey alone.. how would you like it if someone posted every little detail about you?? So he liked a certain movie or book.. he probably hates them all now.. even if not still, who cares??

            . . . that this was a list put together by Moz himself.

            Surprised not to see "By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept", which is a source of so many lyrics (and incidentally, a v. beautiful book indeed)
