...A very good article by a writer that has either done his his homework or is a fan... Basically, the article asks the question: How has Morrissey stayed in the public eye and become so loved over the years?

how many typos did you count...?

Aside from the misquoting of Reel Around The Fountain, 'Barry Gordy' is particularly unforgivable.
