In this morning's edition of the British free daily commuter newspaper The Metro (Dec 12th), the British comedian Stewart Lee included a track by Morrissey in his choice of six tracks for the regular "On My Ipod" feature.
Amongst his choices was "I Have Forgiven Jesus" and he writes:-
"In my new stand-up set, I talk about what it's like to be accused of blasphemy, due to my involvement with Jerry Springer: The Opera. So I play this as the outro to the show. The song's asking, why would God give us desires and imagination and an intellect and then punish us for using them? Everyone used to think of Morrissey as being really miserable but the lyrics to this are hilarious. I think his latest album is as good as anything The Smiths ever did."
There is also a small photo of Morrissey with the article. I must add that Stewart Lee has always struck me as being a very Morrissey-esque figure stylistically. His obvious love of Morrissey certainly isn't a surprise to me.
