A Web site promoting a book on "quirkyalones" (aka uncompromising romantics) has listed Morrissey as one of them:
Morrissey: Yes. For those who grew up in the eighties, the prototypical quirkyalone.
Also listed: Oscar Wilde.

Just a little pre-Valentine's Day treat for us Moz geeks.

    Wilde a quirkyalone? (Score:0)
    I don't think so. Anyone who posesses rudimentary knowledge of the man knows that he was the very definition of a "social gadfly.

    It was hard for him to live without immediate social connections to people, and in fact, it helped break him.

      Quirkyalone indeed! (Score:1)
      No, I disagree. I definitely think Morrissey is a quirkyalone, at least according to Quirkyalone Founder (?) Sasha Cagen. Quirkyalones are independent and are not caught up in wedding culture or the idea that one must always be in a relationship. These are people who (at the risk of sounding cliche) march to the beat of a different drummer. They don't compromise. I think Morrissey fits the bill to a "T." After having read Cagen's book and written a review of it for TheTownTalk.com (to be published this weekend) I was glad to reference Moz in my article. Thanks for bringing it up guy!
