I have spent my 40yrs on this planet hoping to obtain a piece of memorabilia to treasure – just one object to bring me pleasure. But, not the memorabilia of ‘some person or any event’, but memorabilia from one person and one person only - Morrissey. And I was successful. I have on display , Morrissey’s shirt from the Liverpool Empire concert in 2009, as seen on BBC1 Inside Out 19/11/2012. – The shirt means everything to me. I am putting together a book on Morrissey Memorabilia – what it means to the fans and how these items are invaluable and an important part of our ever changing lives. I would like to ask the Mozarmy for input. Do you have Morrissey memorabilia, what is the story behind your memorabilia, what does it mean to you? How did you get it, would you sell it? Have you lost it - did you find it again? Is it on display, where, in what room, why that room, is it the focus point of the room? Do you cherish it, sleep with it, travel with it and show the world it? Do you gladly tell people you have it in your possession? Is it a tambourine, a disc, a flower from his pocket, a drumstick, two drumsticks, a signed beermat, a tattoo of Morrissey’s autograph? Is it a set list, a signed T-shirt, a signed concert ticket, a personal photograph or a plec? Has it faded or jaded? Did it cause a family rift? Has it been sorted, how was it sorted, do you share it, did you cut it in half? Did it join you on your wedding day, or does it cause rifts in the marital home! (Also, if you don’t have any items – have you created your home into a shrine to Morrissey, what does it mean to you, what does your collection mean to you?). Whatever it is, Morrissey memorabilia will have a story and this story maybe old but it should go on. Your memorabilia will have a unique interesting story – because it’s your interesting story and Morrissey is unique. If you have Morrissey memorabilia, submit your stories, with pictures to [email protected]
These are pieces of Morrissey, together we can rebuild him, because we love him, I look forward to hearing from you.
