Does Morrissey actually read anymore? He used to talk about things he'd read, back in .... the eighties? It was - by his own admission - one of the things that distinguished him from other songwriters. The most recent obvious literary reference I can remember in recent lyrics is the Neal Cassady one. I seem to recall an interview around about Kill Uncle era in which he was asked what he was reading and he said, "I don't read anymore. I already know everything," or something like that. Of course, he says many things like this just to be playful, but I can't help wondering whether it was true - at least the first part of it.
