From Rolling Stone Issue 911, December 12, 2002:

Cartoon Morrissey
Smiths Singer is Unwillingly Animated


Story by David Swanson

“When the Smiths broke up, there were people threatening to kill themselves,” says David Nolan, producer of the new British television documentary These Things Take Time: The Story of the Smiths. “They were the soundtrack of their lives. It’s important that we get that across.” But the band’s ex-frontman, Morrissey, wouldn’t participate so Nolan was forced to animate key moments in the band’s history. Morrissey, currently at work on a rival documentary, remains peeved. “He’s concerned that the program is defamatory,” says the singer’s lawyer. A U.S. release is pending.

    Spongebob? (Score:1)
    I don't know why they say the next Spongebob? Is it because Spongebob is an icon to the gay community or because he is sponging all of the money from the other Smiths? Either way, he would be the first Spongebob.

        Moz and Smiths Printed more than once on R.S (Score:0)
        I thought they were mocking Moz and the clan until I read the caption. There was also some Morrissey/Smiths mention in interview with the lead singer of Good Charlotte. I don’t dig their music but it was really pleasant that he made lovely references to The Smiths a few times.
