Morrissey's Autobiography: The Lost Tome Found - thequietus.com

David Stubbs finds the 21st-century's greatest work of "non-fiction" in a skip. We can unveil it exclusively here - thequietus.com

Penguin Books recently announced that their planned publication of Morrissey's autobiography had been abandoned at the last minute, due to a difference of opinion with the author over the content. It is unclear what led to the contretemps, which has meant that no review copies of the long-awaited volume were printed. However, it seems that one sample copy was printed up for Morrissey's final inspection. It was thought to have been lost forever. However, Quietus contributor David Stubbs, while out cycling in the capital, caught side of a volume bearing the image of the former Smiths frontman, protruding from a skip next to Penguin HQ. Stubbs says he was struck by way the volume had clearly been “flung into the skip in a state of high dudgeon”, and immediately realised that this was Morrissey's own, discarded copy. We are proud, therefore, to bring you extracts from what might otherwise have been a lost scroll in the world of pop letters – the Morrissey autobiography they did not want you to read....

How clever, another cult reference, YAWN!!!!!!! What is more disturbing, people who try to connect with others who share a common admiration for an artist, or a small group of hate-filled, self-important people who have made it their mission to try to persuade others to dislike him? That is a futile goal, by the way, because most of us are adults with free-will who decide whether or not we will continue to follow Morrissey. Snarky, juvenile, or vulgar comments from an invisible poster will not make one bit of difference in that choice. The people who are obviously the most obsessed are the ones who claim to be done with him; yet they just can't seem to stop coming to this site. If I ever decide that I am through with Morrissey, which is highly unlikely, I will simply walk away; that's what rational people do. So run, run young man (or woman) through the glen...see if we care, see if we care.
