Morrissey: the great grumpy young man

The Guardian
When the Smiths emerged like a strangely attractive housefly over the sugar-coated rim of the musical cocktail that was the early 1980s - Adam Ant, Haircut 100 and Duran Duran were the primary flavours - I took to them with the enthusiasm of Christ for his cross.

Viva Hate, OBGYN writes:As appears on Telegraph.co.uk:
The Ting Tings and things - Tom Chivers blog
"And finally, a Such Small Portions exclusive - according to our sources (in this case, an authoritative-looking man overheard talking on the phone as he walked through the press tent), Michael Eavis has booked the headline for next year: Morrissey. Remember, you heard it here first. Unless it's not true, of course, in which case you didn't." |

An anonymous person writes:Check out this article in the Saturday 28th June edition of the Irish Times newspaper. Joseph O'Connor, a renowned Irish writer, responds to Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as part of a series in association with Amnesty International to mark the 60th anniversary of the declaration.
ARTICLE 1
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
The title of the article is Pages from an alien Dictionary where O'Connor imagines what an alien species might think of the human race in terms of our approach to love and quotes from an assortment of singers, poets, writers, thinkers, etc. The relevant section relating to Morrissey goes as follows:
You have never been in love until you've watched the dawn rise on the Home for the Blind (Dr Stephen P Morrissey, perhaps the strangest of their species)

| JAMES MAKER : Statement on Autobiography Extract |

JAMES MAKER writes:I published a short extract from the chapter, "Morrissey: Gide The Ripper" of my forthcoming autobiography on MySpace. Regrettably, someone disabused my trust and submitted it to this site.
Such is the snatch & grab, baggage reclaimcarousel of life.
However, I would like to thank the well-wishers who have contacted me with messages of support and kindness. Thank you.
There has been much nonsense and conjecture written about Morrissey over the years.
It is no wonder. He is the most important, most enigmatic Pop artist of the 20th-century and, thusfar, this.
But assumptions often make a fool of one.
I care not one iota for the tales that circulate about me personally -- nor regarding my friendship with Morrissey.
I am 47 and merely grateful to have found a reliable source of fresh winter vegetables.
I am not in touch with Morrissey's organisation, neither am I influenced. I am my own person.
The book is being edited by a close friend (and popular colourist) Abigail Lawson, and will hopefully be released after the ink has dried on a contract that allows me to spend a much-needed Christmas in Montevideo.
