Myra Hindley, co-conspirator of the now-legendary and brutal Moor Murders outside Manchester in the mid-1960's, has died in prison at age 60. BBC News article.
Myra and fellow child-killer Ian Brady are mentioned in "Suffer Little Children", as well as being quoted in "Still Ill". Morrissey was a child living in Manchester at the time of the murders. [davidt: what is the "Still Ill" quote?]

Moors Murderer Myra Hindley, the subject of The Smiths' Suffer Little Children, has had the last rites administered to her in a hospital near Highpoint Prison, Suffolk where she has been for 36 years. She suffered a suspected heart attack early this month.
If this is the end, it will mean the Home Secretary (Interior Minister) will have succeeded in his attempts to ensure she serves a genuine "life" sentence for the Moors Murders she committed with Ian Brady.

Myra Hindley died last night age 60
Myra Hindley and Ian Brady were sentenced for life for the Moors murders, and responsable for killing 3 [4] young children, and recorded the children's cry for help. [one body of a young boy was never found]. "Suffer Little Children" was the first song Morrissey/Johnny Marr demo'd, and is about the Moors murders, which had a great effect on Morrissey's youth.
Myra Hindley's body is still in custody of the Suffolk hospital, and the security is very tight, preparations are made for Myra Hindley's funeral, which will be on a secret place. Officials are afraid of riots ans retaliations of the victim/s [children]. Story is on BBC Ceefax, and in all UK papers today

At this point I will not believe anything unless it comes straight from Morrissey.

Another lazy review, by Michael Osborn from BBC TV's CEEFAX.
You’d think a minimum requirement would be to turn up on time.
MORRISSEY - BRIXTON ACADEMY, LONDON
An uphill battle to reach this South London Venue almost left the dream of seeing my teenhood idol in tatters. But I managed to squeeze into a packed arena with the former Smiths frontman already in full throttle. He wasn't quite the same as the poster that adorned my wall back in the 80s. The once slim Mancunian man has gained some middle age bulk, while his once trademark towering quiff has receded. I'd feared that Mozza in his wilderness years might have turned into a cabaret act and a shadow of his former self. But disappointment was not on the cards as he breezed through a well-chosen selection of his solo hits - and a smattering of the Smith's classics. The voice was strong and distinctive, as were the camp affectations that were mirrored by a roomful of devotees. And his caustic wit has anything but withered with the advancing of years. This singer's maudlin hit Everyday Is Like Sunday brought on a wistful sigh, while the vegetarian anthem Meat is Murder saw the stage aptly bathed in red. His encore was a moment to savour - a rousting rendition of There is a Light That Never Goes Out - a song I know every word to, and sang with vigour. It brought many a teenage memory crashing back with a sting in the eyes. As for Mozza, he strikes me as a man who is ripe for a new lease of life.

In this week's NME there is a great picture of Morrissey standing alongside The Libertines. The photo was taken before Morrissey went on stage at Brixton Academy. The article mentions about Libertines supporting Morrissey and about the lead singer being a big fan of the Moz.

At the recent Oasis's concerts at Nottingham 10th & 11th November, they played The Smiths. Hand In Glove was the song they played at the beginning of their intro tape before they arrived on stage. It was a great surprise with many people singing along.
