I went to the new Urbis Museum in Manchester yesterday, points of interest to us Smiths/Moz fans...

1. In the music booth there's a Smiths poster & it plays a snippet of "Rusholme Ruffians".
2. Just outside of the music booth is a large poster of the Salford Lads Club sign.
3. On the ground floor, etched into a glass panel are the lines "Manchester, so much to answer for".
4. In the shop they are selling copies of the book "Morrissey's Manchester".

So fucking what. Manchester is just a hovel of provincial homes, cloth caps, shit football teams and its full of retards eating Bettys Hot Pot, making black pudding and I hate your horrendous nasal northern accent.

All my love

A genius from from Surrey.

The Strangeways Here We Come sleeve is on 'display'.

There is a film about Morrissey fans on a loop in the CIS gallery.

In the next room is a photographic shot of some graffiti reading "Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Fu...".

A few weeks ago, I mailed a poll, if there should
be a Morrissey/Smiths museum.

My thoughts were that the city of Manchester
should buy Morrissey's old house [384 Kings Road]
and make a real museum.

Well I wrote down a few other options.

But hey, a Morrissey/Smiths museum, with a
shop for buying t's , posters,etc.
I think it's time, there are still a lot of people
coming to Manchester [an other option is London]
to visit 'the places' we all know,and a museum
would be an extra place to visit.

And doesn't Morrissey deserve one?
