Original photographer not mentioned/book not about Morrissey

That's very wrong.

Different (Score:1)

While the two photos are very similar, they're certainly not the same - different rock, different hair, different jacket, different jeans, rounded nose vs pointer nose. As said below, it's not really worth discussing but I've type this now! Ah well!

How novel... (Score:1)

Well - what's the book about? Maybe the similarity's entirely deliberate. Seems unlikely to be an accident...

What is the copywrite date on the book vs. the date of the picture?...Moz more than likely posed. He does that.

Interesting photo... (Score:0)

I once wrote an essay on that photo for a sociology class I had. Don't ask me why.

I wonder if there's an original image that they both copied. Or, if the designer was just inspired by the Moz photo.

they hadn't flattened his quiff. See, you just don't do that. You don't rob the Moz of his quiff. That's just wrong.

Scrolling down the site I nearly got a shock when I read "Dirk" and "Nachbeben", because my name is Dirk and my e-mail address is nachbeben@web.de and I'm from Germany. ;)
