Who is this guy? I read it twice and it makes
no sense? Is this an article on Morrissey or
something? Peace out!

Warren - The reference is to Kris Kirk, he died in the early 1990's, and it is regarding a review on his essays, 'A Boy Called Mary'. The reference to Moz, should make better sense now - thus if the writer had lived, then he would have…. By the way, we are onto you and your kissing games, silly young boy with the Tobasco shorts.

What Momus is referring to here, kids, is Moz's obsession with all things that he is not--working class, skinhead, boxer, East End thug--and the bloody end that might come from such an obsession. Pasolini was an Italian director, poet, and intellectual who was murdered by a young tough he'd propositioned for sex (although rumors abounded that the Italian government had him killed). Careful, Moz, lest you find out for yourself...

If you'd visit Momus' site, you'd find out who is he is. Momus is a wicked genius! One of my favourite songs by Momus is called "I Was a Maoist Intellectual (in the music industry)." That song is on the "Tender Pervert" album. Get it, it's fab!I asked Momus (Nick Currie) how he felt about Morrissey, and Momus replied that he admired Morrissey a great deal. Currie also felt they had common cause because the establishment press (usually embodied as the NME) hates Morrissey and that Morrissey is generally hated all around for being too intelligent. I saw this mention of Morrissey last month, I think. Momus' new album "Stars Forever" on Le Grand Magistery comes out soon or is out already. It's patron music. For $1000 a pop Momus wrote a portrait song about your designated subject (usually yourself) in order to pay his legal bills for getting sued by someone who took offense at a song he once wrote. Kind of fitting since Momus is the god of mockery.

That Momus sure can WRITE. He's just as smart as Morrissey! I've just decided that I'm his biggest fan and I'm going to buy all his records. I don't think it's very nice to say that Morrissey is going to get ruined by straight rough trade, though (though I get what he's talking about). Nobody really knows anything about the Mozzer's personal life, and it's nobody's business and it's probably really boring anyway.

Momus's site is DEFINITELY worth a long visit. Albums: Tender Pervert, The Poison Boyfriend, Don't Stop the Night, The Ultraconformist, Hippopotamomus and Voyager are all well worth looking out for ... as are the published book of lyrics: Lust For A Moron.

who is momus, you ask? gee, he's only been making records for over a decade now...
but morrissey fans rarely know about anything that morrissey doesn't talk about, do they?
sadly, his more recent work has been no better than morrissey's...

Actually, Momus has been releasing records as long as seventeen years! His single from a couple of years ago (from The Philosophy of Momus): The Sadness of Things was a thing of great beauty.

Without wishing to intrude I feel it critical that I chuck my two pennethworth into the skip. Momus is one of the most important artists and cultural scribes to have surfaced in the last 20 years. While most of us lazily misquote and misunderstand the history and contemporary of being, he entertains our potential and lets us breathe finer foggy air. Playfulness and darkness, a reason for living.I couldn't imagine anything more perfect than sitting in a rent boys attic witnessing acts of coprophilia while 'Ping Pong' tremors the hi fi.

Isn't this quote rather on another Morrissey, who, if I remember correctly, is a film director as Jarman and pasolini ?
I think Momus'obsession is much more on Morrissey the film-maker thatn Morrissey the music-maker.
