Despite Morrissey's anger at the Rogan book (with hindsight now, and rather cynically, probably because Rogan made more money out of it than Moz did).. it's brilliant. that and Peepholism (which is better) are essentials to the Smiths/Morrissey world. I have that 'All men have secrets', and yes, a nice gentle read. Add to the classic list as well, probably the 'wrong boy' nowadays as well.

Having said that.. I haven't got the simon Goddard new book.. how does that compare with these classics?

Despite what Mozza thinks of it,I thought it was a brilliant read.
