I never expected to see the NME put Morrissey under a good light ever again, but they've proved me wrong by including him at the end of their list of the “coolest artists of all time” on their website:
“The fact the former Smiths man has done so much to outrage the guardians of 'coolness' over the years paradoxically just make him even cooler. More than just a great lyricist, at his best Morrissey extends the noble line of English bathos and disappointment initiated by TS Eliot and Philip Larkin.”
Unsurprisingly, considering how much NME have been showering him with praise since he decided to join The Cribs, Johnny Marr was also included:
“What makes the former Smiths guitarist so cool is his willingness to engage with a new generation of music fans, rather than coast on former glories.”

Morrissey is NOT COOL (Score:0)
sitting in bed or in a bathtub reading books from dead people
writing poetry and drinking tea
not having sex or discussing it publicly
touring graveyards, petting kittens
going for long walk with pegged pants
Morrissey is not cool at all - sorry
Coolest person on the list - Iggy Pop, followed by Dee Dee Ramone
10 Reasons Moz is NOT Cool (Score:0)
2) He pushes vegetarianism down people's throats to an annoying degree
3) He makes stupid, childish and ill-informed political statements, thinking he is an authority
4) He had his gay lover write on his ass and the put the picture in an album, thinking people would find that sexy (how wrong he was)
5) He has stuck with the same, boring sound since 1982 (and has changed very little since then)
6) He bitches about everybody like a Queen on scale with Elton John
7) He vocalizes resentments he's been harboring for 20 years like a broken record, thinking people care
8) He still poses for pictures like a myspace pre-teen at the tender age of 50
9) He wears fake scars
10) He shaves his chest

- There was a time when there were a few more UK music weeklies. There was SOUNDS, Melody Maker & NME.
- With these mags you were able to make an INFORMED decision what was "cool" or not.
- NOW there is NO comparison: NME has the monopoly of the UK music scene. There is NO challange or no room for discussion.
- NME is a HYPE machine: NO different to your Saturday night TV, such as X- FACTOR and "Come Dancing".
People PLEASE take note: You are being led.

Cool is managing not to like a twat in a photograph that's twenty-five years old. Perhaps this is why all of us are uncool and why fashionable people are, ultimately, the uncoolest people of all.
