What I truly love about Morrissey the "popstar" is how, throughout his career, he's not ONCE given in to current trends or let others influence the direction he's taken with his music/persona. Granted, his style has changed via his collaborations with various other artists, but he's never pandered to anyone, does not, to this day.
Indeed, he seems to take a certain pride in his stubbornness and obliviousness (is that a word??) of music he doesn't particularly like.
Gotta love the Moz.
Stuart stays in and he thinks it's a sin that he has to leave the house at all.
