Moz uses email: it's official!

Well, almost official!
The following is taken from The Independent on Sunday (27th March) where (Moz biographer) Mark Simpson interviews Julie Burchill.

Burchill asks Simpson:
"Do you email Morrissey?"
"Er, no. I wasn't aware he even had email."
Julie leans forward and proudly whispers his address.

    She used to be entertaining. Now she's just a slob jumping from one bandwagon to the next trying to get a reaction from everyone she comes into contact with. That Chavs show was such bile!

    It's quite interesting.. (Score:0)
    ..that Simpson seems to believe wholeheartedly in that particular "Morrissey Myth".

    I'm currently reading his book and what strikes me about it is he seems never to question the generally accepted assumptions about Morrissey.

    Is this surprising? (Score:2, Funny)
    I thought it's generally been assumed Morrissey not only has e-mail (of course he does!) but uses it frequently.

    Remember Sparks expressing surprise at getting an e-mail from Morrissey in The Importance Of documentary?

    And, probably the biggest hint, the song he wrote about waiting for e-mail called Wide To Receive?

    I'd be prepared to bet Moz even has a user name on this site. And seeing as that bet's impossible to prove, I'll put £50,000 on it happily.

    Come on Broken, are you him? Oh I knew it, I knew it!

        who DOESN'T use email these days? i reckon even the pope has an email account.

        we seem to forget he's human and living in the 21st century, children.

        i bet we make Him sad on occassion. so now we know to watch what we say? i've never agreed with any of the negative observations anyway.

            sorry but did'nt ms burchill write a horrible article about him in the times or observer a few years ago???? Some crap about him turning up on her door and she was offended that her idol had come to meet her? Oh but now she thinks he is groovy again - she thinks chavs are great too (see her recent documentary on sky).
            She loves a bandwaggon to ride on this one, written word she may be fine - but on television !!! She sounds like she is on helium.

              I knew Morrissey had an email, I remeber Nancy Sinatra slipping up on a talk show saying that she emails him almost everyday. Haha the thick bitch. I knew he had one anyway, he emailed my friend who was working with him when he was doing the NME writing for the Yearbook. it's nothing new you know.

              Morrissey communicates only via fax, besides the really important messages, he relies on coded-letters in bottles shipped out of haunted docks.

              Julie Burchill's programme on chav-culture was appalling. She seemed like she was trying her hardest to be "hip 'n fresh, down with the kidz yo", when she just came across as someone who really had no clue what she was talking about, took everything far too seriously & attemped to bring the whole issue of the 'chav' down to social class & the oppression of the proletariat, when it's really only a joke about burberry & teenagers who walk like they have a cricket bat up their bum.
              In all fairness i know nothing else of her besides this one programme, but that's just the way it came across to me.
              73 days! Ahem.

                        I fail to see why anybody pays attention to this "triple chinned spinster" (Not my description, see the Viz issue where she was humourously featured with 15 chins) I knew she was talentless far before that Chavs show on Sky One which only compacted my opinion of her further. She had a chance to redeem herself there and then but failed miserably.. what has this person ever done for anything, ever? A feeble attempt to make out that football hooligan scum and style-less Chavscum are the product of the snobby middle classes... well Julie, I'd proudly be middle class rather than an enormous pile of blubber.

                        The truth is that while even Morrissey himself and ol' Julie may "flirt" with "charming" hooligan imagery; the reality is frequently completely different. I don't judge Moz's music on his friends, but in this case I will make an exception; she's useless. From her misguided journalism features she barks up the wrong tree about just about everything. Like a lame dog.

                        Not to offend any dogs out there...

                            Wow, I've never seen so many people freak out over the POSSIBILITY of a PERSON using e-mail. He's only human people, and we all communicate via some source or another. It is natural to want to communicate. So what if he uses fax or e-mail or telephone or messages in bottles. As long as his music's around I wouldn't care if he used soup cans with string attached to them to converse with whomever he converses with.
