There was a nice article about Morrissey today at Slate.com:

...Incorrectly states that "Shame Is the Name" is on Years of Refusal. Also incorrectly quotes "Reel Around The Fountain" as "I dreamt about you last night/ Nearly fell out of bed twice"

And I don't know what he's talking about when he says "the music to "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" could double as session-men riffs for a Sugar Ray single."

...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?

Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
